Objectives: Sleep is closely related to childrenEs and adolescentEs growth. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to examine the frequency of symptoms associated with sleep in childhood and adolescence and the impact in their growth.
Methods: This study had used questionnaire targeting 1001 children and adolescents. 532 of them were visited the Department of Pediatrics, the Oriental Medicine Hospital of ○○University located in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, during the period between May and September in 2012. 469 of them were students in the lower grades at ○○Elementary School located in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, during June, 2012. We used PASW Statistics 18.0 to analyze the relation between growth and symptoms associated with sleep by using Independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and ANCOVA.
Results: As the result of this research, snoring(54.9%), sleep bruxism(34.2%), sleep talking(31.5%), sleep terror(17.1%) were most frequently seen as symptoms associated with sleep. Group of habitual snoring(p=0.008**) and sleep terror(p=0.016*) had lower height percentile than other groups. Groups with sleep talking(p=0.022*) had lower weight percentile than group without sleep talking. Groups with sleep talking(p=0.018*) or sleep walking(p=0.045*) had lower BMI percentile, and group with habitual sleep apnea(p=0.039*) had higher BMI percentile.
Conclusions: Symptoms during sleep such as snoring, sleep bruxism, sleep talking, and sleep terror occur frequently among children and adolescents. More importantly, snoring, sleep terror, and sleep talking may be associated with growth of children and adolescents.
