Esta investigação centra-se no estudo da qualidade do sono e marcadores biomédicos e visa:
(1) descrever a qualidade do sono da amostra; (2) comparar a qualidade do sono em função do
género e da idade; (3) descrever as variáveis biomédicas dos participantes; (4) comparar as
variáveis biomédicas em função do género e da idade; (5) comparar a qualidade do sono em
função das variáveis biomédicas; (6) aferir o grau de associação entre a qualidade do sono, os
marcadores biomédicos e a idade. Estrutura-se em formato de artigo científico a submeter
para publicação na revista Psychologica.
A pobre qualidade de sono tem-se mostrado relacionada com alterações neuroendócrinas, as
quais podem estar associadas a consequentes alterações nos marcadores biomédicos. Neste
estudo, de tipo descritivo e inferencial, utilizaram-se um questionário sociodemográfico, o
Questionário do Sono de Oviedo e dispositivos de recolha de indicadores biomédicos. A
amostra é constituída por 229 sujeitos, 59.8% mulheres e 40.2% homens.
Os níveis de satisfação com a qualidade do sono, de insónia e hipersónia são moderados. Os
valores nas variáveis biomédicas encontram-se dentro dos valores de referência, pelo que, esta
amostra é maioritariamente saudável. Sujeitos que apresentaram pior satisfação subjetiva do
sono, também demonstraram valores de IMC acima dos valores recomendados. Os homens
apresentam piores níveis de satisfação subjetiva do sono e as mulheres piores níveis de insónia
e hipersónia. São os mais velhos que mostram piores níveis de satisfação subjetiva do sono e
valores mais elevados nas variáveis biomédicas.
This investigation is focused on the study of sleep quality and biomedical markers and aims to: (1) describe the sample’s sleep quality; (2) compare sleep quality according to gender and age; (3) describe the biomedical variables of the participants; (4) compare biomedical variables according to gender and age; (5) compare sleep quality according to biomedical variables; (6) assess the degree of association between sleep quality, biomedical markers, and age. It is structured in the format of a scientific article to be submitted for publication in the journal Psychologica. Poor sleep quality has been shown to be related to neuroendocrine alterations, which may be associated with consequent changes in biomedical markers. In this descriptive and inferential study, a sociodemographic questionnaire was used, the Oviedo Sleep Questionnaire and devices for collecting biomedical indicators. The sample is constituted by 229 subjects, 59.8% women and 40.2% men. The levels of satisfaction with sleep quality, of insomnia and hypersomnia are moderate. The values in biomedical variables are within the reference values, so most of this sample is healthy. Subjects that showed worse subjective sleep satisfaction, also showed BMI values above the recommended values. Men showed worse levels of subjective sleep quality and women worse levels of insomnia and hypersomnia. The older subjects are the ones who show worse levels of subjective sleep satisfaction and higher values in biomedical variables.
