大學生中打呼現象的盛行率,發表於《美國大學健康期刊》
大學生打呼可能意味未來可能發展為成人睡眠呼吸相關問題,因此值得去探討這個現象的盛行程度。
因此,作者就在2004年的一月到四月執行了本研究,試圖調查大學生中打呼行為的盛行率,對象為2200位大學生(18-25歲)。填寫以下問卷:
The cumulative information collected in this study will be used for scientific publication. Completing the below questionnaire implies consent to publish collected data. If you are under the age of 18, you should not participate in this study. If you are pregnant, you should not participate in this study.
1.Do you snore? (你打呼嗎?)
[ ]Yes
[ ]No
[ ]I don’t know
2. How loudly do you snore? (你打呼多大聲)
[ ]5-Heard outside the house (在屋外就可聽到)
[ ]4-Heard throughout the house (在屋內可聽到)
[ ]3-Heard in adjacent room (在鄰近房間可聽到)
[ ]2-Soft, occasional (有時而已,還算小聲)
[ ]1-Do not snore (我不打呼)
3. After a full night’s sleep, are you still tired? (睡一晚之後,你還會感到疲憊嗎?)
[ ]5-Always (總是)
[ ]4-Often (2–4 days/wk) (常常,一周約2~4天會這樣)
[ ]3-Occassionally (once a week) (偶爾,一周約1天會這樣)
[ ]2-Rarely (once a month) (很少,了不起一個月一次)
[ ]1-Never (從未)
4. Do you fall asleep when you shouldn’t? (eg, while driving, at the movies, watching TV, at meetings) (你有在不該睡著的時候睡著過嗎,像是開車、看電影、看電視、與他人互動時)
[ ]5-Always
[ ]4-Often (2-4 days/wk)
[ ]3-Occasionally (once a week)
[ ]2-Rarely (once a month)
[ ]1-Never
5. Do your parents snore? (你的父母會打呼嗎?)
6. If yes, grade by scale in Question 2 (如果會的話,參考第2題的選項評量音量大小)
[ ]Yes
Mother (1–5) [ ]
Father (1–5) [ ]
[ ]No
[ ]I don’t know
結果:
- 30%的大學生都報告他們自己曾經打呼。
- 男生比女生更常打呼(42% vs. 25%)。
- 亞洲人更常打呼(37%)。
小結:
- 對大學生來說,打呼是很流行、普及的。
- 男生更容易打呼,同時也受到像是BMI、種族等因素影響。
- 請大家原諒身邊打呼的室友,也請大家留意若室友打呼感覺怪怪的,務必提醒他要去睡眠中心做個檢查。
