Aims: To determine whether baseline levels of self-reported sleep and sleep problems among obese adolescents referred to an outpatient multidisciplinary family-based weight management program predict reduction in BMI 3 months later. Methods: A retrospective medical chart review was conducted for 83 obese adolescents. The following baseline variables were extracted: self-reported sleep duration (weekdays and weekends), and presence of snoring, daytime fatigue, suspected sleep apnea, and physician-diagnosed sleep apnea. Anthropometric data at baseline and 3 months were also collected. Results: On average, adolescents reported significantly less sleeping on weeknights (7.7 +/- 1.3 h) compared to weekend nights (10.0 +/- 1.8 h), t(82) = 10.5, p = 0.0001. Reduction in BMI after 3 months of treatment was predicted by more weekly sleep at baseline (R-2 = 0.113, F(1, 80) = 10.2, p = 0.002). Adolescents who reduced their BMI by >= 1 kg/m(2) reported greater weekly sleep at baseline compared to adolescents who experienced <1 kg/m2 reduction (60.7 +/- 7.5 h vs. 56.4 +/- 8.6 h; F(1, 80) = 5.7, p = 0.02). Conclusion: Findings from this study, though correlational, raise the possibility that increased duration of sleep may be associated with weight loss among obese adolescents enrolled in a weight management program. Evidence-based behavioral techniques to improve sleep hygiene and increase sleep duration should be explored in pediatric weight management settings. Copyright (C) 2013 S. Karger GmbH, Freiburg
