Abstract
[spa] Las enfermedades no transmisibles son una pandemia mundial y una de las principales causas de muerte en los países desarrollados. Es importante conocer los hábitos asociados con conductas poco saludables para generar estrategias que los eviten y no se conviertan en conductas establecidas y difíciles de cambiar. En este trabajo experimental nos hemos centrado en la hora de dormir y su relación con la calidad de la dieta y hábitos alimentarios en adultos jóvenes con el objetivo final de evaluar si puede
ser un parámetro útil para la práctica clínica de los dietistas-nutricionistas. En el estudio se incluyeron 164 hombres y mujeres de entre 19 y 26 años. Se analizaron las variables antropométricas de los sujetos, su nivel de actividad física, diferentes variables relacionadas con el sueño, la ingesta de nutrientes y grupos de alimentos, el horario de las comidas y la proporción de energía que consumían en cada una de ellas. Las
conclusiones han sido que los sujetos que se iban a dormir más tarde tendían a presentar un mayor índice de masa corporal (IMC), consumían una menor cantidad de fibra, tenían una ingesta menor de frutos y semillas oleaginosas y de legumbres, y presentaban un mayor consumo de bebidas alcohólicas. Además, los participantes del estudio que se iban a dormir más tarde presentaban un cronotipo más vespertino y un mayor jet lag social, consumían una mayor proporción de energía en la cena, y se saltaban el desayuno
con mayor frecuencia. Estas conductas son potenciales factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de la obesidad y perpetuadas en el tiempo podrían interferir en la salud y en el bienestar del individuo.
[eng] Non-communicable diseases are a global pandemic and one of the main causes of death in developed countries. It is important to recognize lifestyle habits associated with unhealthy behaviours so that health professionals can develop strategies to change these unhealthy behaviours. In this experimental study we focused on sleep onset and its association with diet quality and dietary habits in young adults. Our aim was to evaluate bedtime as a useful parameter for nutritionists in clinical practice. One hundred and sixty-four both man and women between 19 and 26 years of age where included in this study. We analysed the participant’s anthropometric variables, physical activity, sleep related variables, food intake and meal timing, and the percentage of daily calories consumed in each meal. Our conclusions were that subjects that went to bed later in the day had a slightly higher body mass index (BMI) and a tendency to have a higher body fat percentage. These subjects had a lower intake of dietary fiber, nuts, seeds, and legumes, and a higher intake of alcoholic beverages. Furthermore, the study subjects with a later sleep onset presented an evening type chronotype and a higher social jet lag, and they skipped breakfast more often than the subjects that went to bed earlier. These behaviours are potential risk factors for the development of obesity and perpetuating them for life can interfere in the global health and the individual’s overall wellness.
