Abstract

This study examines the effect of TV/computer usage and sleep quality on stress on a large population with comprehensive demographic characteristics. It also aimed to identify the difference of treatment effect between the female group and the male group. This study includes 5092 participants in the National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). These participants were asked to answer questionnaires regarding TV/computer usage, sleep quality, and mental health. We applied a binary logistic regression and a Poisson regression. TV usage, computer usage, and sleep quality were positively associated with both the odds of experiencing stress-related symptom and the frequency of stress-related symptoms. No difference of treatment effect was found between the female group and the male group for sleep quality. The female group was found to be less affected by TV usage. Effect of computer usage was detected on the male group, but not on the female group. A reduction in TV/computer usage and an improvement of sleep quality can be performed to reduce the frequency and the odds of experiencing stress-related symptoms. Future study with comprehensive population groups and standardized measurement for sleep quality is needed to reduce bias.
