“…An important aspect this study revealed is that a lack of sleep can harm the development and growth of school-aged Korean adolescents with allergic disease by increasing neurocognitive ailments and suicidality. Owing to circadian fluctuations of inflammatory mediators, adolescents often experience worsening symptoms and outcomes leading to insufficient sleep time during the night (Jasiak-Panek et al, 2019). In particular, since a greater ability to maintain consistent sleep patterns is related to higher sleep quality, it is important to establish consistent sleep habits among adolescents with allergies (Lawless et al, 2018).…”

The purpose of the study is to identify the relationships between allergic disease, suicidal ideation, and plans among Korean adolescents. Additionally, we examined the mediating role of short sleep duration. We analyzed nationally representative cross-sectional data from the 12th to 14th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey; the final sample included 164,725 middle school–aged and high school–aged adolescents (mean age = 15.17 years, standard deviation = .13; 51.1% male). Allergic disease was a statistically significant risk factor for suicidal ideation (crude odds ratio [COR] = 1.284, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.246, 1.323]) and suicide plans (COR = 1.165, 95% CI = [1.108, 1.224]). Short sleep duration was a statistically significant mediator ( p < .001). We advised school nurses to assess warning signs of poor sleep—including irritability, depression, sleep problems, poor concentration, and poor academic achievement—and that programs be created to improve sleep and mental health in adolescents with allergic disease.
