Background: This study aimed to investigate the dietary habit
problems related to sleep duration by analyzing health
behaviors and dietary habits in Korean adults.
Methods: Adults aged ≥ 19 years who participated in the
2013-2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey were included in the study. Subjects
were classified into the insufficient, appropriate, and
excessive sleep groups. Subsequently, patient
characteristics, health status, obesity and metabolic
syndrome, dietary habits, and nutrient intake were analyzed.
Results: The subjective health status was worse in the
insufficient and excessive sleep groups than that in the
appropriate sleep group. Body mass index and obesity and
abdominal obesity rates were higher in the in-
sufficient and excessive sleep groups than in the
appropriate sleep group. The insufficient and excessive
sleep groups had an irregular diet, and the excessive sleep
group had significantly lower vitamin and mineral intake than
insufficient and excessive sleep groups.
Conclusions: Subjects in the insufficient and excessive
sleep groups were less healthier than those in the appro-
priate sleep group. Further, subjects in the excessive sleep
group had an unbalanced diet and nutritional status.
