Abstract
Objective: To examine potential factors affecting sleep duration and explore its association with the risk of mortality among adults in the United States. Methods: The study population consisted of adults aged 26 to 79 years who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted from 2007 to 2016. Sleep duration was classified into three categories: short (< 7 hours), optimal (7– 8 hours), and long (≥ 9 hours). The associations between sleep duration and both all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality (including heart disease, tumors, cerebrovascular disease, and others) were examined in the overall population and subgroups using weighted Cox regression models. Dose-response associations between sleep duration and risk of all-cause mortality were explored using restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses. Additionally, a multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate potential factors that influence sleep duration in adults. Results: The study included a total of 24,141 subjects, with a population-weighted mean age of 48.93 years. Over 30% of the subjects exhibited unhealthy sleep habits. Fully adjusted models revealed that both short sleep duration (HR=1.169, 95% CI 1.027– 1.331) and long sleep duration (HR=1.286, 95% CI 1.08– 1.531), were associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality. The RCS curves showed a U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and risk of all-cause mortality. Subgroup analyses showed a significant association between poor sleep patterns and all-cause mortality among adults aged 26– 64 years, males, and non-Hispanic whites. Furthermore, multinomial logistic regression identified several predictors associated with short and long sleep durations. Conclusion: Both short and long sleep duration are associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, with a U-shaped dose-response relationship. It is imperative to implement appropriate primary prevention strategies aimed at monitoring and providing health education to populations at risk of developing unhealthy sleep patterns.
期刊介绍:
Nature and Science of Sleep is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal covering all aspects of sleep science and sleep medicine, including the neurophysiology and functions of sleep, the genetics of sleep, sleep and society, biological rhythms, dreaming, sleep disorders and therapy, and strategies to optimize healthy sleep.
Specific topics covered in the journal include:
The functions of sleep in humans and other animals
Physiological and neurophysiological changes with sleep
The genetics of sleep and sleep differences
The neurotransmitters, receptors and pathways involved in controlling both sleep and wakefulness
Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at improving sleep, and improving wakefulness
Sleep changes with development and with age
Sleep and reproduction (e.g., changes across the menstrual cycle, with pregnancy and menopause)
The science and nature of dreams
Sleep disorders
Impact of sleep and sleep disorders on health, daytime function and quality of life
Sleep problems secondary to clinical disorders
Interaction of society with sleep (e.g., consequences of shift work, occupational health, public health)
The microbiome and sleep
Chronotherapy
Impact of circadian rhythms on sleep, physiology, cognition and health
Mechanisms controlling circadian rhythms, centrally and peripherally
Impact of circadian rhythm disruptions (including night shift work, jet lag and social jet lag) on sleep, physiology, cognition and health
Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at reducing adverse effects of circadian-related sleep disruption
Assessment of technologies and biomarkers for measuring sleep and/or circadian rhythms
Epigenetic markers of sleep or circadian disruption.
