Association of sleep disorders with subfoveal choroidal thickness in preschool children.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the association between sleep disorders and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in preschool children.

Methods

In this population-based cross-sectional study, children aged 60-72 months were measured for SFCT using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and for sleep disorders using the Chinese version of Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ). Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to assess the association between sleep disorders and SFCT.

Results

A total of 1337 children (mean (SD) age: 66.88 (3.41) months) were included in the analyses. In multivariable linear analysis, a higher total CSHQ score (indicating higher likelihood of sleep disorders) was associated with a thinner subfoveal choroid (beta, -0.070; 95%
