VARYING CALORIE AND MACRONUTRIENT INTAKES OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DIFFERENT SLEEP QUALITY

Abstract Details

2018, MS, Kent State University, College of Education, Health and Human Services / School of Health Sciences.
The purpose of this study was to examine if calories and macronutrient intakes were different amongst good and poor sleeping college students. Participants were selected using a convenience sample of undergraduate students enrolled in a nutrition fundamental course during spring 2017. Participants of any age, regardless race and sex, and with realistic and complete dietary intake data were included. Dietary nutrients were measured using 4-day dietary records, that were entered into ESHA Food Processor (version 11.4, 2017). Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Independent t-test was used to examine calories and macronutrient differences between good and poor sleepers. Calories were significantly higher for good sleepers compared to poor sleepers (p = 0.028). Macronutrients: carbohydrates, fat, and protein, were all found non-significantly different between good and poor sleepers after Bonferroni correction. Conclusion: calorie intake was significantly higher for good sleepers compared to poor sleeper, however, macronutrient intake was not significantly different between groups.
