Abstract

Background
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the consumption frequency of sugar-sweetened beverages including soda and sweet drinks and sleep duration and quality among Korean adolescents.
Methods
Data on 137,101 boys and 130,806 girls of students in middle and high school were obtained from the 2014-2017 Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, a national-wide cross-sectional school-based survey. Respondents self-reported soda and sweet drinks consumption, sleep hours, and sleep quality. The associations between these variables were analyzed by complex sampling multivariate logistic regression analysis.
Results
76.4% and 84.7% of respondents consumed soda and sweet drinks at least one time per week. Sleep deprivation (<8 hours/day) was associated with higher soda and sweet drinks consumption (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 95% confidence interval [CI]) for 5 times a week for soda 1.44 (1.33-1.59) in boys and 1.25 (1.12-1.40) in girls: and sweet drinks 1.54 (1.43-1.66) in boys and 1.41 (1.28-1.55) in girls. Similarly, unsatisfactory sleep quality was also associated with higher soda and sweet drinks consumption (aOR, 95% CI) for 5 times a week for soda 1.19 (1.13-1.26) in boys and 1.27 (1.19-1.35) in girls: and sweet drinks 1.36 (1.29-1.44) in boys and 1.34 (1.28-1.41) in girls.
Conclusions
Both sleep deprivation and poor sleep quality was associated with higher consumption of soda and sweet drinks among Korean adolescents.
