We aimed to estimate the prevalences of SRBD and snoring in adolescents in Changchun City, Northeastern China, and to evaluate the associated factors in this population. Methods: In total, 1955 adolescents aged 11\u201318 years were recruited in Changchun City using stratified cluster sampling. Parents and caretakers of children completed the questionnaires, which included demographic characteristics, anthropometric parameters and a pediatric sleep questionnaire (SRBD scale). Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between SRBD, snoring and other factors. Results: The prevalences of SRBD and snoring in our population were 3.7% and 3.3%, respectively, and the prevalences of overweight and obesity were 12.6% and 4.9%. Multivariate logistic regression showed that urban residence (OR = 2.356, 95%CI: 1.251\u20134.435) and post-term birth (OR = 3.275, 95%CI: 1.396\u20137.683) were significantly associated with SRBD. Preterm birth (OR = 2.255, 95%CI: 1.021\u20134.980) and parental education level of university and above (OR = 0.265, 95%CI: 0.083\u20130.850) were significantly associated with snoring. Overweight (OR = 2.063, 95%CI: 1.062\u20134.006) was also related to snoring. Conclusions: The prevalences of SRBD and snoring were similar to those reported in previous studies. Urban residence and post-term birth were important influencing factors for SRBD; overweight, highest parental education level (university and above) and preterm birth were key factors affecting snoring in adolescents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph14020194","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,15]],"date-time":"2017-02-15T10:09:07Z","timestamp":1487153347000},"page":"194","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Associations of Overweight, Obesity and Related Factors with Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders and Snoring in Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Survey"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yue","family":"Ma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonary Division &amp; Sleep Center, The First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liping","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonary Division &amp; Sleep Center, The First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Changgui","family":"Kou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shucheng","family":"Hua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonary Division &amp; Sleep Center, The First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haibo","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonary Division &amp; Sleep Center, The First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1007\/s40519-015-0234-8","article-title":"Sleep and Obesity: An Introduction","volume":"21","author":"Lombardo","year":"2016","journal-title":"Eat.
