Short Duration of Sleep and Unintentional Injuries among Adolescents in China
Abstract
Using a population-based cross-sectional health survey, the authors investigated the association between nightly duration of sleep and unintentional injuries among high school students in Nanning, China. The survey utilized a two-stage random cluster-sampling design. In March 2005, adolescents aged 13-17 years were recruited from students attending the first 3 years of high school in Nanning. Sleep duration was measured by self-reported usual times of going to bed and rising during a normal school week. Unintentional injury was assessed via a structured personal interview. Data were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression with adjustment for the effects of cluster sampling. After adjustment for potentially confounding factors, adolescents who slept less than 7 hours per night during a normal school week were approximately two times more likely to have experienced multiple episodes of unintentional injury during the 3-month pre-survey period (odds ratio = 2.2, 95% confidence interval: 1.1, 4.8) than those who slept 7 hours or more (p < 0.05). There was also a nonsignificantly (p > 0.05) increased risk of single injury for adolescents with short sleep durations (odds ratio = 1.5, 95% confidence interval: 0.9, 2.3). Findings suggest that a short nightly duration of sleep can be considered a potential risk factor for multiple unintentional injuries among adolescents.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
