Abstract

Background: It has been suggested that the quality of our sleep plays a significant role in developing Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). However, limited research is available on the association between sleep quality and MetS. Aim and Objectives: The objective of this study was to explore the prevalence of MetS and its relationship with nutritional status and sleep quality in the military forces. Material and Methods: A total of 190 people were surveyed using various questionnaires, including demographic, PSQI, DASS, and FFQ questionnaires. One-variable logistic regression, t-test, and Chi-square were used to analyze data. Results: The study included a total of 169 out of 190 individuals surveyed. The subjects' average age was 35.78 years, with a median sleep quality score of 6.61 (SD=3.0). No statistically significant relationship was found between MetS and biochemical components, macronutrient intake, and sleep quality. For every unit increase in protein and carbohydrate consumption, the likelihood of experiencing poor sleep quality increased by 2% and reduced by 1%, respectively (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our study found no significant relationship between sleep quality, MetS, biochemical components, or macronutrient intake. We recommend further research evaluating hormone levels or other factors affecting sleep quality and MetS. © 2023, Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University. All rights reserved.
