Relationship of overweight and obesity to insomnia severity, sleep quality, and insomnia improvement in a clinically referred pediatric sample
2022
Overview
Study Objectives:
Children with overweight or obesity are more likely to experience sleep disorders, although the role of weight in pediatric insomnia treatment has not been examined. The current study examined the relationships of high body mass with pretreatment insomnia severity and global sleep problems and the potential moderating impact of weight on changes in insomnia severity following insomnia treatment.
Methods:
Participants included 1,133 youth ages 2–18 years clinically referred for insomnia treatment. The Pediatric Insomnia Severity Index was collected at the initial assessment and throughout treatment as part of routine clinical care. Treatment status was coded as no treatment, early termination, and completed treatment. Secondary measures of global sleep problems at the initial assessment included the Adolescent Sleep Wake Scale, Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale, and Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire. Medical chart review of visits within ± 3 months of baseline was used to obtain age-adjusted and sex-adjusted body mass index Z-score.
Results:
Among adolescents, regression analyses found that higher body mass index Z-score modestly predicted baseline insomnia severity (
P =
.021) and worse sleep hygiene (
P
< .001). For children, higher body mass index Z-score was modestly associated with baseline total sleep problems (
P
= .006) but not insomnia severity (
P
= .792). Across ages, body mass index Z-score predicted neither treatment status nor insomnia improvement (
P
> .05). Findings were similar in categorical analyses comparing patients with overweight/obesity to healthy weight.
Conclusions:
Although there is evidence that children of higher body mass present for insomnia treatment with greater sleep concerns, body mass does not predict treatment completion or insomnia improvement. Data suggest insomnia treatment is effective irrespective of weight status.
