Abstract:

Objective: To analyze excessive daytime sleepiness in relation to health risk behaviors in adolescents. Methodology: Epidemiological and cross-sectional study carried out with 1st year high school students20 state public schools in the city of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais. Data were collected in 2022/2023. The dependent variable was analyzed using the Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale instrument, validated for Brazil. Descriptive, bivariate and multiple analyzes were carried out using Poisson Regression. Results: 1,616 adolescents participated in the study, 50.4% of whom were female. Among them, 72% had excessive daytime sleepiness, with a higher prevalence among girls (PR=1.22), those who studied in the morning (PR=1.35) and full-time shifts (PR=1.35), who were in the pre-contemplation stage of behavioral change (PR=1.15), who consumed daily ultra-processed foods (PR=1.09), which presented severe depressive symptoms (PR=1.16) and dependence on smartphone use (PR=1.36). Conclusion: The high prevalence of daytime sleepiness was associated with health risk behaviors among adolescents. Therefore, actions that encourage the adoption of healthy lifestyles are necessary to minimize health damage in the short, medium and long term.
