Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality questionnaire, with a lower score indicating “better” sleep quality. Gait speed was measured using the Zebris pressure platform. The associations were examined with generalized linear models and multiple regression analysis.Results: In the unadjusted model, faster participants had significantly “better” sleep quality (β=− 3.15, 95% CI − 3.82 to − 2.47, p< 0.001). When the model was adjusted for sex, age, body-mass index, self-rated health, smoking status, and psychological distress, faster participants remained having “better” sleep quality (β=− 2.88, 95% CI − 3.53 to − 2.22, p< 0.001).Conclusion: This study shows that sleep quality can be predicted by gait speed in the first-year university students.Keywords: youth, biomechanics, sleep, relationshipKasović MŠtefan AŠtefan LDove Medical PressarticleyouthbiomechanicssleeprelationshipPsychiatryRC435-571Neurophysiology and neuropsychologyQP351-495ENNature and Science of Sleep, Vol Volume 13, Pp 1663-1668 (2021)
