OBJECTIVE: To provide basic data for health management of the prolonged fatigue adults, differences in demographic characteristics, stress, sleep, and prevalence of metabolic syndrome were compared among the prolonged fatigue group and the normal group.
METHODS: This study is a descriptive comparative study using 2015-2016 from data of the Korean Medicine Data Center (KDC) from Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine. Subjects were 370 adults, which consisted of 197 prolonged fatigue group and 173 normal group.
Fatigue, stress and sleep, were measured using the Revised Chalder Fatigue Scale, the Psychosocial Well-being Index-Short Form, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI), respectively. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed according to National Cholesterol Education Program in Adult Treatment Panel Ⅲ(NCEP ATP III) criteria.
RESULTS: The results of the study are as follows. First, there were significant differences in the occupation, smoking, and body mass index (BMI) among the demographic characteristics of the prolonged fatigue group and the normal group. The prolonged fatigue group had more jobs, smoking, and obese than the normal group. Second, there were significant differences between the groups in terms of stress and sleep differences. Specifically, the prolonged fatigue group showed higher stress and lower quality of sleep than the normal group. Finally, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was found to be higher in the prolonged fatigue group than in the normal group.
CONCLUSIONS: Considering the characteristics of the subjects in the prolonged fatigue group, it is necessary to develop a practical education program that help to repair fatigue related to stress and sleep disorders. Particularly, it is necessary to develop interventions to control prolonged fatigue in occupation related stress to preventing the progression to chronic fatigue.
