Resumo
O objetivo do trabalho realizado na presente dissertação foi determinar a existência da influência que os hábitos alimentares e o exercício físico têm na duração do sono e a sua associação com marcadores da obesidade em jovens universitários. A amostra que participou no estudo era composta por 98 estudantes do ensino superior, sendo que 22 eram do sexo masculino e 76 sexo feminino com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e 25 anos. Na elaboração deste trabalho recorreu-se a cinco questionários distintos, onde pretendíamos avaliar hábitos alimentares, exercício físico, duração/qualidade do sono, estados de ansiedade e relaciona-los com o índice de massa corporal de cada indivíduo. De acordo com os valores obtidos observámos que existe correlação entre os hábitos alimentares e ansiedade, bem como entre ansiedade e a duração do sono. Quanto ao exercício físico correlacionado com os restantes parâmetros não encontramos valores estatisticamente significativos, no entanto quando relacionando com os valores individuais nos hábitos alimentares notou-se valores correlacionáveis. O marcador de obesidade utilizado, índice de massa corporal, não mostrou correlação com nenhum dos parâmetros estudados em cada questionário, provavelmente devido aos valores recolhidos apresentarem reduzida dispersão. Conclui-se que a duração/qualidade do sono bem como a ansiedade têm um impacto significativo nos hábitos alimentares bem como no exercício físico. Os jovens devem adotar estilos de vida saudável onde se atribua importância devida a estados de ansiedade, bem como boas práticas de descanso traduzindo-se em qualidade no sono e assim adequando a duração correta do mesmo.
The objective of the present study was to determine the influence of eating habits and physical exercise on sleep duration and its association with obesity markers in university students. The sample that participated in the study was composed of 98 students of higher education, of whom 22 were males and 76 females between the ages of 19 and 25. In the elaboration of this study we used five different questionnaires, where we aimed to evaluate dietary habits, physical exercise, sleep duration / quality, anxiety states and relation with each individual's body mass index. According to the values obtained, we observed that there is a correlation between eating habits and anxiety, as well as between anxiety and sleep duration. Regarding the physical exercise correlated with the other parameters, we did not find statistically significant values, however, when correlating with the individual values in the eating habits, correlated values were observed. The obesity marker used, body mass index, showed no correlation with any of the parameters studied in each questionnaire, probably due to the collected values presenting reduced dispersion. It was concluded that sleep duration / quality as well as anxiety have a significant impact on eating habits as well as physical exercise. Young people should adopt healthy lifestyles where due importance is attached to states of anxiety, as well as good rest practices translating into quality in sleep and thus adjusting the correct duration of the same.
