Relación entre la calidad del sueño y obesidad tipo I II y III en pacientes que asisten a la clínica de obesidad en el Hospital Teodoro Maldonado Carbo en el período de 2019 – 2020.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Obesity and sleep quality are linked, as shown by research using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) as a measurement tool. Obesity, defined by a Body Mass Index (BMI) equal to or greater than 30 kg/m2, can negatively affect sleep. Several studies have established a positive connection between BMI and PSQI reactions, suggesting that as BMI increases, sleep quality decreases. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the quality of sleep according to the ICSQ and the different degrees of chronic health obesity, in patients of a specialized unit such as the Obesity Clinic unit of the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital. Methodology: This research study is oriented towards a mixed, cross-sectional, retrospective statistical analysis without involving any intervention in the sample. Results: The main findings revealed a greater presence of women in the sample (79.87%), with a mean age of 44.43 years and the most frequent range between 39-48 years (32.2% of the sample). In relation to the Pittsburgh Index, 57.7% had sleep disturbances that required attention and treatment. When analyzing the object of, a Pearson reproduction was performed that showed a positive relationship between BMI and changes in sleep quality.
