Abstract
Sleep quality is crucial during school age as it directly impacts children's development; however, understanding its influence on anthropometric profile during this vulnerable stage is essential. To determine the association between sleep quality and anthropometric profile in school-aged children from a sports academy in the city of Trujillo, Peru. Data were obtained through a non-experimental cross-sectional study involving 117 boys and girls aged 9 to 12 years. Sleep quality was measured using a survey technique, with the instrument being a sleep quality questionnaire developed by the researchers. Additionally, anthropometric profile was assessed using observational techniques, with the instrument being an anthropometric measurement record form. The p-values for body mass index (BMI), height for age (H/A), waist-to-height ratio and skinfold thickness were all greater than 0.05 (0.360; 0.661; 0.696; 0.312). There is no association between sleep quality and anthropometric profile, sleep quality had no impact on anthropometric profile.
