Adequate sleep duration among children and adolescents: a review of the Brazil's Report Card

Duração do sono adequada entre crianças e adolescentes: revisão para o Report Card Brazil

abstract –

This study aimed to summarize existing research examining the prevalence of adequate sleep duration or meeting sleep recommendations among Brazilian children and adolescents. A systematic review was conducted on eight databases. The criteria for inclusion were original research, samples including Brazilian children and adolescents (age 0–18), studies that reported variables regarding sleep duration using both objective or subjective measures, school- or population-based surveys with random sampling, and cross-sectional or cohort studies. Of the 54 articles included, only 27 used data from different studies. Most of the studies were conducted in the southern region (n = 17) with only two studies having a nationally representative sample. Two studies included children below age five, and the age group most investigated was adolescents (>10 years old). A majority of the studies used a self-reported questionnaire and showed variability in the cutoff point applied for adequate sleep duration with the most reported being ≥8 hours. The proportion of adolescents who met recommendations or had adequate sleep duration ranged from 15% to 89%. Among children, the prevalence ranged from 17% to 95%. The least variability was observed among toddlers, ranging from 93% to 95%. No consistent gender differences were observed among the gender-stratified groups of children and adolescents across the studies. It can be observed that, because of the wide range of results and the lack of data with national representativeness, the prevalence of sufficient sleep among young people aged below 18 remains undefined in Brazil.

resumo –

Objetivou-se resumir os estudos existentes que examinaram a prevalência de duração adequada do sono ou atendimento às recomendações de sono entre crianças e adolescentes brasileiros. Uma revisão sistemática foi realizada em oito bases de dados. Os critérios de inclusão foram pesquisas originais, amostras incluindo crianças e adolescentes brasileiros (de 0 a 18 anos), estudos que relataram variáveis ​​relacionadas à duração do sono usando medidas objetivas ou subjetivas, pesquisas baseadas na escola ou na população com amostragem aleatória e transversal ou estudos de coorte. Dos 54 artigos incluídos, apenas 27 utilizaram dados de estudos diferentes. A maioria dos estudos foi realizada na região sul (n = 17), com apenas dois estudos tendo uma amostra representativa nacionalmente. Dois estudos incluíram crianças menores de cinco anos, e a faixa etária mais investigada foi de adolescentes (> 10 anos). A maioria dos estudos utilizou um questionário autorreferido e mostrou variabilidade no ponto de corte aplicado para a duração adequada do sono com a maioria relatada sendo ≥8 horas. A proporção de adolescentes que cumpriram as recomendações ou tiveram uma duração de sono adequada variou de 15% a 89%. Entre as crianças, a prevalência variou de 17% a 95%. A menor variabilidade foi observada entre as crianças, variando de 93% a 95%. Nenhuma diferença de gênero consistente foi observada entre os grupos. Observa-se que, pela ampla variabilidade de resultados e pela carência de dados com representatividade nacional, a prevalência de sono suficiente em jovens com menos de 18 anos permanece indefinida no Brasil.

INTRODUCTION

Sleep is an essential component of human health and plays an important role in several physiological processes, such as hormone secretion and energy balance11 Morgan D, Tsai SC. Sleep and the endocrine system. Crit Care Clin 2015;31(3):403-18. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ccc.2015.03.004. PMid:26118912.

. Healthy and adequate sleep is associated with reduced body mass, better diet, and improved mental health (e.g., better regulatory emotion), which is essential to promote the learning process among children and adolescents44 Roberts RE, Roberts CR, Duong HT.

. Conversely, sleep deprivation is a risk factor for health conditions, such as obesity and depression66 Chaput JP, Gray CE, Poitras VJ, Carson V, Gruber R, Olds T, et al.

Appl Physiol Nutr Metab 2016;41(6, Suppl. 3):S266-82. http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/apnm-2015-0627. PMid:27306433.

.

In recent decades, there has been a significant reduction in the sleep duration of children and adolescents, making the monitoring of sleep behavior indispensable in this target population77 Matricciani L, Olds T, Petkov J. In search of lost sleep: secular trends in the sleep time of school-aged children and adolescents. Sleep Med Rev 2012;16(3):203-11. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.smrv.2011.03.005. PMid:21612957.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.smrv.2011.03...
. Therefore, age-based sleep guidelines have been created to prevent and reduce the burden of sleep deprivation (e.g., National Sleep Foundation—NSF from the USA88 Hirshkowitz M, Whiton K, Albert SM, Alessi C, Bruni O, DonCarlos L, et al. National Sleep Foundation’s sleep time duration recommendations: methodology and results summary. Sleep Health 2015;1(1):40-3. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sleh.2014.12.010. PMid:29073412.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sleh.2014.12...
—and the Canadian 24-hour Movement Guidelines99 Tremblay MS, Carson V, Chaput JP, Connor Gorber S, Dinh T, Duggan M, et al. Canadian 24-hour movement guidelines for children and youth: an integration of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep. Appl Physiol Nutr Metab 2016;41(6, Suppl. 3):S311-27. http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/apnm-2016-0151. PMid:27306437.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/apnm-2016-0151...
). These guidelines provide similar recommendations for children and adolescents according to age groups as follows: school-aged children (5–13) and adolescents (14–17) are recommended to sleep 9–11 hours and 8–10 hours per night, respectively. Moreover, the guidelines are shown to be specific for infants aged less than a year old (NSF recommends 12–15 hours while the Canadian guidelines recommend 12–16 hours), toddlers aged 1–2 (11–14 hours), and preschoolers aged 3–4 (10–13 hours).

Studies from various countries have monitored the prevalence of sufficient sleep among young people with substantial distinctions between nations. In Canada, around 60% of children and 70% of adolescents sleep the number of hours recommended for their age group. In the USA, this prevalence dropped to 40% for children and 30% for adolescents. However, in Brazil, there are no national sleep guidelines, and studies investigating sleep deprivation in Brazilian children and adolescents have local representativeness and are based on no standardized recommendations or even on adults’ cutoff points for adequate sleep duration. Accordingly, the present review seeks to summarize representative and standardized evidence related to sleep duration among Brazilian children and adolescents in order to accurately assess the current national scenario. Moreover, this is the first entry of sleep parameters to the Report Card Brazil, allowing it to cover the complete spectrum of 24-hour movement behaviors (i.e., physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep). Therefore, this review aims to summarize studies that analyzed the prevalence of adequate sleep duration or meeting the existing recommendations in Brazilian children and adolescents up to 18 years of age.

METHOD

Measured outcome

This systematic review included sleep duration as the outcome and involved articles that have quantified sleep duration as continuous (e.g., hours or minutes per night) or categorical (e.g., prevalence of adequate sleep) measures independent of the cutoff points and recommendations considered in the study.

Study search strategies

A systematic search was conducted in August 2020 in the following electronic databases: Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science (Web of Knowledge), EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, SciELO, and LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana em Ciências da Saúde). The search strategy included four groups of descriptors: concept (sleep), context (country or nationality), population (young people < 18 years), and sleep duration evaluation methods (see Supplementary File 4). The Boolean operator "AND" was used for combinations among descriptor groups, and “OR” was used for intragroup combinations. The truncation symbols ($, *, or "") specific to each database were also used to increase the range of searches for descriptor variations. Searches were conducted with descriptors in English and Portuguese (in databases that are available: LILACS and SciELO). The search of the electronic databases was supplemented by a personal library and a screening of the reference list of included articles in order to identify potentially relevant titles.

Identification of eligible studies

Selection criteria

The eligibility criteria in this review were (I) original research articles published in peer-reviewed journals, (II) samples with Brazilian children and adolescents aged 0–18 years old (or a mean age within these ranges or separate data for individuals in this age range), (III) articles that reported variables regarding sleep duration (e.g., hours per night, minutes per night, prevalence of adequate sleep duration [despite the cut-point used]) using objective (i.e., polysomnography or actigraphy) or subjective (i.e., self-, proxy-, or parent/guardian-report) measures, (IV) population- or school-based surveys with random sampling, and (V) cross-sectional or cohort studies.

Selection process

The initial analysis was performed based on the reading of the manuscript’s titles, and, when there was doubt regarding the inclusion of the study, a reading of the abstract was carried out. After this analysis, the articles were screened based on full-text reading and subsequently analyzed according to the established selection criteria. All the processes were conducted by two independent peers (peer 1: LM and MK; peer 2: GM and ML). The peers screened an equal number of references (50%), and disagreements between reviewers were resolved by consensus.

Data extraction and synthesis

The included articles were equally divided and extracted by the two mentioned peers. The prevalence of adequate sleep duration was extracted, and the cutoff point adopted in each article was preserved. In cases in which the authors did not define an adequate sleep category (e.g., <6 h/d, 6–8 h/d, and >8h/d), the one that characterized the age-based sleep guidelines99 Tremblay MS, Carson V, Chaput JP, Connor Gorber S, Dinh T, Duggan M, et al. Canadian 24-hour movement guidelines for children and youth: an integration of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep. Appl Physiol Nutr Metab 2016;41(6, Suppl. 3):S311-27. http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/apnm-2016-0151. PMid:27306437.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/apnm-2016-0151...
was extracted. In addition, articles from the same study were identified to avoid duplication of information.

Information extracted comprised i) basic descriptive information about the article (e.g. author, title); ii) sample size; iii) age range; iv) sleep measurement instrument or questionnaire, classified as “defined” when a valid and established questionnaire was nominated (e.g., Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), “undefined” when no information regarding the sleep duration measurement was provided, or “undefined-reproductible” when the questionnaire was not nominated but authors fully described the questions used for assessing sleep duration; v) sleep duration guidelines and/or sleep duration categories/cutoff points adopted; and vi) the results (by gender and age when provided) of the prevalence of adequate sleep (according to the authors) or the duration of sleep presented continuously.

The overall prevalence by gender and age (when reported by the authors) of adequate sleep duration and/or meeting sleep duration recommendations was extracted. The results of the studies were presented in alphabetical and chronological order by first author name and year of publication, respectively. The results were organized to present methodological aspects (Supplementary File 1) and the prevalence of sleep (Supplementary File 2) of the included studies. In the case of articles reporting findings from the same study or sample (e.g., 10 articles reported ISCOLE findings), the article with the largest sample size for sleep data was selected for study description.

RESULTS

The searches found 5,307 articles, 54 of which were identified and included in the review (no article was included from the screening of the reference list). Figure 1 presents a summary of the screening process. The articles were published between 2005 and 2019, but most were published after 2015 (n = 42). While 54 articles were identified, some used the same study sample: 10 articles used data from ISCOLE1010 Chaput JP, Katzmarzyk PT, LeBlanc AG, Tremblay MS, Barreira TV, Broyles ST, et al.

The prevalence of meeting the recommended sleep duration ranged from 13.1% to 96.5%. The least variability was observed among toddlers, ranging from 93% to 95%. In children, the prevalence varied from 17% to 95%, and in adolescents, it ranged from 15% to 89% (Figure 2).

). However, studies conducted specifically in the northwest showed lower compliance with the recommendations identified among adolescents. The results of the south and southeast regions varied considerably; however, data available from the southeast included only children (Figure 2).

. The average sleep duration of toddlers was 9.5 hours per night (no standard deviation was reported). For children, the mean sleep duration ranged from 9.9 to 10.2 hours per night while, in adolescents, the sleep duration was of 7.9 ± 1.8 hours on school days and 9.2 ± 1.8 on non-school days.

DISCUSSION

This systematic review aimed to verify the sleep duration among children and adolescents in Brazil. Accordingly, 54 articles, which accounted for 27 different studies, were included. The findings showed a higher predominance of studies in the southern region of Brazil, few studies with children less than six years of age, and higher methodological variability of the instruments used to examine sleep duration. In the present review, there was a wide range of the proportion of children and adolescents (from 13.1% to 96.5%) who had adequate sleep duration or who met any institutional recommendations.

Part of this variability may be explained by the use of different cutoff points for classifying sleep duration and the use of questionnaires with different recall periods with most of them classified as undefined-reproductible or undefined. Meanwhile, only ISCOLE, which is a multicenter study, assessed sleep duration using an accelerometer. This reflects the financial burden that Brazilian universities and researchers face when acquiring research-grade accelerometers, making it impractical to use them in largescale epidemiological studies.

This review highlights that there is no consensus in terms of the sleep time cutoff point among Brazilian studies, which inhibits comparability of the results, and provides overestimated proportions of adequate sleep duration in children and adolescents. Less than half of the reviewed studies stated the recommendation guidelines adopted, and, among these, the NSF guidelines88 Hirshkowitz M, Whiton K, Albert SM, Alessi C, Bruni O, DonCarlos L, et al. National Sleep Foundation’s sleep time duration recommendations: methodology and results summary. Sleep Health 2015;1(1):40-3. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sleh.2014.12.010. PMid:29073412.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sleh.2014.12...
were the most frequent, although often confusing. For instance, most of the studies adopted ≥8 hours as sufficient sleep for adolescents younger than 13 years old while the NSF recommends 9–11 hours of sleep88 Hirshkowitz M, Whiton K, Albert SM, Alessi C, Bruni O, DonCarlos L, et al. National Sleep Foundation’s sleep time duration recommendations: methodology and results summary. Sleep Health 2015;1(1):40-3. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sleh.2014.12.010. PMid:29073412.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sleh.2014.12...
and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends 9–12 hours6464 Paruthi S, Brooks LJ, D’Ambrosio C, Hall WA, Kotagal S, Lloyd RM, et al. Recommended amount of sleep for pediatric populations: a consensus statement of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. J Clin Sleep Med 2016;12(6):785-6. http://dx.doi.org/10.5664/jcsm.5866. PMid:27250809.
http://dx.doi.org/10.5664/jcsm.5866...
. Similarly, adopting ≥10 hours represents a misclassification for toddlers aged 1–2 years old, who should have 11–14 hours of sleep88 Hirshkowitz M, Whiton K, Albert SM, Alessi C, Bruni O, DonCarlos L, et al. National Sleep Foundation’s sleep time duration recommendations: methodology and results summary. Sleep Health 2015;1(1):40-3. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sleh.2014.12.010. PMid:29073412.

http://dx.doi.org/10.5664/jcsm.5866...
. This can be attributed to the stratification of participants in age groups according to the distribution of data or an arbitrary decision instead of grouping them by age ranges compatible with the current sleep recommendations. Applying different cutoff points leads to a systematic overestimation of the proportion of adequate sleep among children and adolescents, masking those who may be experiencing attention or learning problems44 Roberts RE, Roberts CR, Duong HT. Sleepless in adolescence: prospective data on sleep deprivation, health and functioning. J Adolesc 2009;32(5):1045-57. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.adolescence.2009.03.007. PMid:19361854.

and facing an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and depression66 Chaput JP, Gray CE, Poitras VJ, Carson V, Gruber R, Olds T, et al.

Appl Physiol Nutr Metab 2016;41(6, Suppl. 3):S266-82. http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/apnm-2015-0627. PMid:27306433.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/apnm-2015-0627...
. This methodological concern may be overcome by reaching a consensus for sufficient sleep duration based on any previous institutional guidelines (e.g., WHO, NSF, Canadian/Australian Guidelines) and endorsing it in Brazilian pediatric research.

This review underscores the lack of sleep duration data representative of the country. Only one study reported the prevalence of sufficient sleep duration in Brazilian adolescents2020 Oliveira G, Silva TLND, Silva IBD, Coutinho ESF, Bloch KV, Oliveira ERA. Aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors: alcohol, smoking, excess weight, and short sleep duration in adolescents in the ERICA study. Cad Saude Publica 2019;35(12):e00223318. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0102-311x00223318. PMid:31800793.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0102-311x00223...
, but there is no -nationally representative evidence for toddlers and children. Meanwhile, the National School-Based Health Survey (PeNSE)6565 Oliveira MM, Campos MO, Andreazzi MAR, Malta DC. Characteristics of the national adolescent school-based health survey - PeNSE, Brazil. Epidemiol Serv Saude 2017;26(3):605-16. http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/S1679-49742017000300017. PMid:28977184.
http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/S1679-49742017...
, which monitors health-related factors among schoolchildren in Brazil every three years and is supported by the government, does not measure sleep duration. Given this gap, including pediatric sleep surveillance in the agenda for future epidemiological nationwide surveys is paramount.

Despite this review demonstrating a wide variability in the prevalence of adequate sleep or meeting a guidelines recommendation between studies, the pattern was not observed among studies with toddlers. From two studies with toddler data, approximately 92% of participants achieved adequate sleep or met the recommendations. These results are slightly larger than those of other countries such as Canada6666 Carson V, Ezeugwu VE, Tamana SK, Chikuma J, Lefebvre DL, Azad MB, et al. Associations between meeting the Canadian 24-hour Movement Guidelines for the Early Years and behavioral and emotional problems among 3-year-olds.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12889-017-485...
, where values were around 83% and 88%, respectively. For the other age groups, variability was more evident. When considering studies with children, one study demonstrated that more than 90% of children met a sleep recommendation6363 de Almeida GMF, Nunes ML. Sleep characteristics in Brazilian children and adolescents: a population-based study. Sleep Med X 2019;1:100007. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sleepx.2019.100007. PMid:33870166.

, and another showed less than 30%5252 Legnani RFS, Legnani E, Silva MP, Gasparotto GS, Bacil EDA. Clustered risk factors to health in children. Medicina 2015;48(4):328.. A study conducted with children aged 9–11 across 12 countries observed a prevalence of 42% for meeting the Canadian Guidelines among children from these countries, with countries such as Australia and the UK showing the highest prevalence (76%) while China had the lowest (15%)1616 Roman-Viñas B, Chaput JP, Katzmarzyk PT, Fogelholm M, Lambert EV, Maher C, et al. Proportion of children meeting recommendations for 24-hour movement guidelines and associations with adiposity in a 12-country study. Int J Behav Nutr Phys Act 2016;13(1):123. http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12966-016-0449-8. PMid:27887654.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12966-016-044...
. Adolescents were the most investigated population among the included studies, which probably explains the highly heterogeneous results in this age group. A study by Araujo et al. (2017) showed that only 15% of adolescents met the recommendations of sleep hours while studies by Almeida and Nunes (2019) showed that approximately 90% of them adhered to this recommendation. Some countries show a low prevalence of adequate sleep, such as the USA, where the prevalence of sufficient sleep is around 32%6868 Kim Y, Umeda M, Lochbaum M, Stegemeier S.

http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijerph17072395...
, showing only 8% of adolescents meeting the Canadian guidelines. However, in Canada, the results are opposite to the prevalence of sufficient sleep ranging from 66% to 74%7070 Chaput JP, Janssen I. Sleep duration estimates of Canadian children and adolescents. J Sleep Res 2016;25(5):541-8. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jsr.12410. PMid:27027988.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jsr.12410...
, and similar results were found in the UK7171 Pearson N, Sherar LB, Hamer M. Prevalence and correlates of meeting sleep, screen-time, and physical activity guidelines among adolescents in the United Kingdom. JAMA Pediatr 2019;173(10):993-4. http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jamapediatrics.2019.2822. PMid:31449287.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jamapediatrics...
.

The prevalence of adequate sleep duration in children varied similarly within the Brazilian regions. Although Brazil is marked with social and health inequalities7272 Landmann-Szwarcwald C, Macinko J. A panorama of health inequalities in Brazil. Int J Equity Health 2016;15:174. http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12939-016-0462-1. PMid:27852273.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12939-016-046...
, the observed within-region differences were based on studies that applied distinct cutoff thresholds for adequate sleep duration, which may partially explain the differences. In this study, a lower prevalence of adequate sleep duration was found among adolescents from the northeast than among those from the southeast and southern regions. Brazil is the size of a continent, and these findings may be explained not only by individual and contextual factors but also by environmental parameters. According to evidence from South America7373 Brockmann PE, Gozal D, Villarroel L, Damiani F, Nuñez F, Cajochen C. Geographic latitude and sleep duration: a population-based survey from the tropic of Capricorn to the Antarctic circle. Chronobiol Int 2017;34(3):373-81. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/07420528.2016.1277735. PMid:28128998.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/07420528.2016....
, latitude is observed to strongly affect sleep patterns, leading to longer sleep duration with increasing latitude. Latitude affects the variation of daylight hours and locations near the Equator, such as Northeast Brazil, have approximately 12 hours of daylight all over the year, and the sun rises earlier in the morning.

This is the first study to compile evidence of adequate sleep duration among Brazilian children and adolescents. Another strength is the summary of findings per country region, which highlights the differences within the population given Brazil’s size. However, this study has certain limitations that need to be acknowledged. The screening and extraction processes were conducted by two independent peers, and no calibration was performed between them to confirm that the interpretations were the same for all screened parameters. Despite this, the inclusion criteria were established among the group of reviewers, and all members were in accordance with the established criteria, and the criteria were reinforced at all stages of the process through periodic meetings. Owing to the nature of this study, publication bias may arise, and conclusions were limited to the available evidence. Therefore, the findings should be interpreted with caution because of the possibility of result bias (e.g., higher prevalence rates in recent studies than in older studies).

CONCLUSIONS

From this review, we can observe that, owing to the wide-ranging results and the lack of data with national representativeness, the prevalence of sufficient sleep among young people aged below 18 years of age is undefined in Brazil. These data also emphasize that researchers need to recognize that adult cutoffs do not apply to the pediatric population. It is necessary to standardize what is enough sleep for the infant-juvenile population based on cutoff points already published and established by various health organizations or even by creating a guideline for the Brazilian population recognizing the sociocultural aspects of the country.
