Factor Associated with Self-Reported Sleep Quality in Adults-A Population Based Study

Human sleep quality and quantity is related to his/her well-being. The aim of this study is to assess the factors associated with self-reported sleep quality among adults in Shahroud.
In the second phase of Shahroud Eye Cohort Study (ShECS), 4737 people (45 to 69 year old) who have participated in the first phase of the ShECS, were invited to the study in 2014. In this study age, sex, marital status, economic status (low, middle and high), education, smoking, and subjective sleep quality were measured. The main question for assessing sleep quality was "During the last month, how would you rate your sleep quality overall?". The data were analyzed using a logistic regression model.
In this study 23.5% of women compared with 10.8% of males, and totally 18.3% (862 subjects) of them described their sleep quality as fairly bad or very bad. Females (OR=2.5; 95%CI: 2.1-3.1), moderate economic status (OR=1.2; 95%CI: 1.0-1.5) and smoking (OR=1.5; 95%CI: 1.1-1.9) were positively associated with poor sleep quality.
The result of our study showed that women had poorer sleep quality than men and smoking is a risk factor for poor sleep quality. So environmental factors related to sleep quality can improve it.
