Sleep quality in obesic children

Overweight and obesity in children is a global problem in the world. According to WHO data for the period from 1975 to 2016 the number of obese children from 5 to 19 years of age in the world has increased more than 4 times (WHO. 2021 URL: https://www.who.int/ru/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/obesity-and-overweight ). The enormous increase in the incidence of obesity among children has led to an exacerbation of the problem of sleep disorders. From the point of view of brain electrophysiology, sleep is defined as a normal biological process of consciousness in which there are criteria for brain waves. A child spends more than 30% of his life sleeping, and this condition is critical for growth and development. For this reason, sleep pathologies and their clinical consequences have become priority areas of scientific research in recent years [Sánchez-López AM, Noack-Segovia JP., et al. 2020, Aguilar M.C., Sánchez A.L., et al. 2013].
