The effects of smartphone addiction on sleep quality and obesity level in obese men
Abstract
Aims: To investigate the effects of smartphone addiction on sleep quality and body mass index (BMI) values in obese men.
Methods: During the study period, 90 men aged 18 to 45 years who were monitored for obesity, presented to the hospital, and agreed to participate in the study were recruited. The study statistically evaluated sleep quality and factors affecting it using patient demographic characteristics, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Smart Phone Addiction Scale (SPAS), and the Hospital Anxiety-Depression Scale (HADS).
Results: Patients were divided into two groups according to PSQI score: PSQI ?5 n:51 (56.7%) and PSQI <5 n:39 (43.3%). The association between PSQI scores and age, body mass index (BMI), educational status, HADS-A, and HADS-D, SPAS, was examined. HADS-A, and HADS-D, SPAS scores were higher in the group with poor sleep quality (p<0.001). In addition, a high smartphone addiction score was found to increase the presence of PSQI ?5 12-fold. It was shown that BMI values were higher in patients with high SPAS (p< 0.030).
Conclusion: Poor sleep quality and smartphone addiction appear to influence BMI in obese individuals. Studies to improve sleep quality are very important to identify modifiable risk factors, improve the design of prevention programs, and reduce the prevalence of obesity in the young population.
