Abstract

Objective: To analyze the in adolescent students association between possible sleep and awake bruxism and the practice of physical activity. Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional school-based study. A total of 1313 students aged 14-19 years of both sexes, enrolled in public high schools of Olinda, Northeastern Brazil were included. The variables evaluated included sociodemographic data, feelings of sadness, physical activity in the last week, and bruxism indicators. The questions used were taken from PeNSE, YRBS, and RDC/TMD questionnaires. Data were analyzed using STATA 12.0 software for Windows. Results: Among the participants, 22.5% had sleep bruxism, 20.4% had wakefulness bruxism, 80.4% did not practice physical activity at the recommended levels and 38.5% reported feelings of sadness. There was no statistically significant association in any of the variables analyzed in relation to the practice of physical activity. There was an association between sleep and wakefulness bruxism and feelings of sadness (p-value < 0.001), relating feelings of sadness to bruxism. Conclusion: No association was observed between possible sleep and wakefulness bruxism and the practice of physical activity in the studied population.
