Sleep Health 2024:S2352-7218(24)00114-1. [PMID: 38910037 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleh.2024.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate ethnic inequities in, and social determinants of, adolescent sleep health in Aotearoa New Zealand. METHODS Analysis of self-report data from a cross-sectional survey of secondary school students (12- to 18-year-olds). Analyses included weighted prevalence estimates of good and poor sleep health stratified by ethnicity, and multivariable logistic regression models concurrently adjusted for ethnicity, school year, gender, rurality, neighborhood deprivation, school decile, housing deprivation, sleeping elsewhere due to lack of adequate housing, unsafe environment, and racism. RESULTS Inequities in social determinants of health were evident for Māori (Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand; n = 1528) and minoritized (Pacific n = 1204; Asian n = 1927; Middle Eastern, Latin American, and African [MELAA] n = 210; and 'Other' ethnicity n = 225) adolescents. A greater proportion of Māori, Pacific, Asian, MELAA, and 'Other' adolescents had short sleep, compared to European (n = 3070). Māori, Pacific, Asian, and MELAA adolescents were more likely to report late bedtimes (after midnight), and Māori, Pacific, and 'Other' adolescents were more likely to report early waketimes (5 AM-6 AM or earlier), on school days. Rurality, neighborhood deprivation, school-level deprivation, housing deprivation, sleeping elsewhere due to inadequate housing, unsafe environments, and racism partially, but not fully, explained associations between ethnicity and short sleep, late bedtimes, and early waketimes. CONCLUSIONS Ethnic inequities exist in adolescent sleep health in Aotearoa New Zealand. Socio-political actions are needed to address racism and colonialism as root causes of ethnic inequities in adolescent sleep, to ensure all young people are afforded the basic human right of good sleep health and associated mental and physical well-being.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Good sleep, especially during early childhood, is important for development. In Japan, the mean nocturnal sleep duration of toddlers is < 10 hours, and even if toddlers slept for > 11 hours/day, as recommended by the National Sleep Foundation, some of them showed late bedtime and late wake-up time or took long naps. Therefore, we provisionally assumed the minimal sleep conditions for Japanese toddlers, named Nenne-criteria, such as bedtime before 10:00 pm, nocturnal sleep duration of ≥ 9 hours, and < 1 average time of awakening after sleep onset, and investigated the important factors for good sleep. METHODS We analyzed cross-sectional data from online surveys describing the sleep-related behaviors of 2,124 toddlers and their caregivers. We compared the daily schedules that affect sleep between the Nenne-criteria-meet group and the not-meet group. RESULTS The Nenne-criteria-meet group showed better daytime behaviors than the not-meet group. Structural equation modeling on daily schedules revealed that, to increase sleep pressure at the appropriate time, it is important to restrict media viewing, play outdoors in the morning, have an early nap ending time, avoid hyperarousal-inducing behaviors before bedtime, maintain daily schedules regularly, and decrease social jetlag. CONCLUSIONS The Nenne-criteria are useful for screening Japanese toddlers who require intervention for sleep hygiene. To improve toddlers' sleep, it is important not only to guide the ideal bedtime but also to provide tips for improving daily schedules and to avoid suboptimal sleep-related behaviors.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Social jetlag (SJL) measures the discrepancy between circadian and social clocks. Using accelerometry-derived data, our objective was to assess the prevalence of SJL in young healthy children and determine the association of SJL and sleep with temperament. METHODS Of 117 children participating in TARGet Kids!, a Canadian cohort of healthy preschool-aged children, 78 children (39 girls (50%)); mean age [SD]: 35.1[20.5] months) were included. Sleep was measured objectively using accelerometry. Temperament dimensions (surgency, negative affectivity, and effortful control) were assessed with the very short forms of Rothbart's child and infant behavior questionnaires. We examined associations of SJL and sleep with temperament using multivariable linear regression models adjusted for sex, age, ethnicity, and preschool/daycare attendance. RESULTS 20 out of 78 (25.6%) experienced SJL of greater than 30 minutes. SJL was greater in children who attended preschool/daycare compared with children who did not (26.3[18.8]min vs. 17.6[14.8]min; p<0.05). There was no evidence of an association between SJL and any temperament dimension. We found evidence of an association between increased sleep duration and increased negative affectivity scores (longer 24h sleep (ß:0.347, 95% CI:0.182,0.512, p<0.0001); longer nighttime sleep duration (ß:0.413, 95% CI:0.163,0.663, p=0.002)). CONCLUSIONS In our cohort, 1 in 4 preschool-aged children experienced SJL. Increased sleep duration was associated with increased negative affect, which could have implications for children developing internalizing behavior such as depression or low-self-esteem. We found that sleep duration, but not SJL, was associated with temperament and may impact daytime behavior of young children.

Abstract
This study intends to reveal the underlying structural inequity in vulnerability to infection of the novel coronavirus disease pandemic among children and youth. Using multi-source data from New York Times novel coronavirus disease tracking project and County Health Rankings & Roadmap Program, this study shows that children and youth in socioeconomically disadvantaged status are faced with disproportionate risk of infection in this pandemic. On the county level, socioeconomic disadvantages (i.e., single parent family, low birthweight, severe housing problems) contribute to the confirmed cases and death cases of the novel coronavirus disease. Policymakers should pay more attention to this vulnerable group to implement more targeted and effective epidemic prevention and control.
