“…Reciprocal relations among anxiety, distress, strain, depression and sleep disturbances have been suggested earlier [4,6,30,56]. These psychological symptoms are closely linked to obesity, smoking and physical inactivity [14,17,22,35,43,51,53], which have been suggested as risk factors for neck, shoulder and low back pains in adolescence [5,25,31,32,42]. Our findings that insufficient quantity or quality of sleep increases the risk of neck and low back pains independently of depressive mood, physical activity, sedentary behavior, smoking, BMI and parents' socioeconomic status may indicate that it has a mediating effect, explaining the relationship between social pressures, psychological symptoms and musculoskeletal pains.…”

The quantity and quality of adolescents' sleep may have changed due to new technologies. At the same time, the prevalence of neck, shoulder and low back pain has increased. However, only a few studies have investigated insufficient quantity and quality of sleep as possible risk factors for musculoskeletal pain among adolescents. The aim of the study was to assess whether insufficient quantity and quality of sleep are risk factors for neck (NP), shoulder (SP) and low back pain (LBP). A 2-year followup survey among adolescents aged 15-19 years was (2001)(2002)(2003) carried out in a subcohort of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 (n = 1,773). The outcome measures were 6-month period prevalences of NP, SP and LBP. The quantity and quality of sleep were categorized into sufficient, intermediate or insufficient, based on average hours spent sleeping, and whether or not the subject suffered from nightmares, tiredness and sleeping problems. The odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for having musculoskeletal pain were obtained through logistic regression analysis, adjusted for previously suggested risk factors and finally adjusted for specific pain status at 16 years. The 6-month period prevalences of neck, shoulder and low back pain were higher at the age of 18 than at 16 years. Insufficient quantity or quality of sleep at 16 years predicted NP in both girls (OR 4.4; CI 2.2-9.0) and boys (2.2; 1.2-4.1). Similarly, insufficient sleep at 16 years predicted LBP in both girls (2.9; 1.7-5.2) and boys (2.4; 1.3-4.5), but SP only in girls (2.3; 1.2-4.4). After adjustment for pain status, insufficient sleep at 16 years predicted significantly only NP (3.2; 1.5-6.7) and LBP (2.4; 1.3-4.3) in girls. Insufficient sleep quantity or quality was an independent risk factor for NP and LBP among girls. Future studies should test whether interventions aimed at improving sleep characteristics are effective in the prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal pain.

“…15 It is thus likely that skipping breakfast results in weight gain through increased food intake later in the day when the Breakfast Consumption Association of breakfast skipping with obesity C-J Huang et al body is less likely to expend the energy consumed and consequently increasing energy storage. Skipping breakfast has been found to be associated with undesirable health outcomes such as insomnia, 26 increased blood pressure 27 and cluster with health-compromising behaviors such as smoking, alcohol and lack of exercise. 20 In accordance with previous findings, the results from this study showed that breakfast skipping often coexists with other undesirable health-related habitual behaviors, as we found that breakfast skippers had higher rates of smoking, alcohol consumption, betel quid chewing and lack of exercise.…”

Objective: This study investigated the associations of breakfast skipping with obesity and health-related quality of life (QOL). We also tested the hypothesis that there is a dose-dependent relationship between frequency of breakfast consumption and prevalence of obesity. Subjects and Design: This cross-section study used a national representative sample (n ¼ 15 340) from the 2005 Taiwan National Health Interview Survey. Breakfast skippers were defined as those who ate breakfast about once a week or less often and those who never ate breakfast. Individuals were classified as 'obese' if their body mass index was X27. Health-related QOL was assessed using the Medical Outcome Studies 36-Item Short-Form (SF-36) Health Survey. Logistic regression was used to examine the odds ratio of obesity and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in breakfast skippers compared with breakfast eaters. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was used to adjust all risk estimates for covariates. Results: The unadjusted odds ratio of obesity in breakfast skippers was 1.23 (95% CI: 1.06, 1.43). The odds of developing obesity for breakfast skippers was 1.34 (95% CI: 1.15, 1.56) controlling for age, sex, marital status, educational level, monthly income, smoking, alcohol, betel nut chewing and exercise habit. The Cochran-Armitage trend test revealed that the prevalence rate of obesity decreased as the frequency of breakfast consumption increased (P ¼ 0.005). Breakfast skippers had significantly worse health-related QOL than breakfast eaters (Po0.001). Moreover, breakfast skippers had significantly lower scores in 5 out of 8 domain scores of the SF-36, namely general health perceptions (Po0.001), vitality (Po0.001), social functioning (P ¼ 0.036), emotional role (Po0.001) and mental health (Po0.001).

“…However, before concluding that extracurricular activities are indeed detrimental for adolescents' sleep functioning, it is important to note that extracurricular activities may have a protective effect. In a sample of over 100,000 Japanese adolescents, adolescents not participating in an extracurricular activity were at higher risk for experiencing insomnia in comparison to adolescents who did participate in an extracurricular activity (Kaneita et al 2006). Clearly, more research is needed to identify the circumstances or factors that contribute to extracurricular activity use having either a protective or detrimental impact on adolescent sleep.…”

Sleep problems in adolescence have been identified as an international public health issue. Over the past few decades, notable advances have been made in our understanding of the patterns and consequences of sleep in adolescence. Despite these important gains, there is much about the role of sleep in adolescence that remains to be understood. This Special Issue brings together studies that examine sleep as it specifically pertains to adolescent development and adjustment. In this introductory article, we argue for the importance of grounding the study of sleep and adolescence in developmental science and a developmental psychopathology framework. First, a review of the literature is used to outline a biopsychosocial and contextual model of sleep in adolescence. Second, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is used as an exemplar of the proposed model given the pervasiveness of sleep problems among youth with ADHD and the likelihood that sleep problems and ADHD symptoms are interconnected in complex ways. Finally, a brief introduction to the empirical articles included in the Special Issue is provided, with particular attention given to how these articles fit within the proposed biopsychosocial and contextual model. Along with the framework proposed in this article, the studies included in this Special Issue advance the current literature and point to critical directions for future research.
