Naps and cardiovascular disease risk in different age and sex groups: evidence from a large community cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

This study examined the relationship between naps and cardiovascular disease (CVD) events or death in different age and sex groups.

Methods

A total of 3,069 participants stratified by age (< 65, 65-74, and ≥ 75 years old) and sex, underwent Cox regression analysis to assess nap's impact on CVD risk. Restricted cubic spline plots were used for dose-response relationships.

Results

Significant age-stratified interactions were found when exploring the associations between nap frequency or duration and CVD events (P_interaction = .001, .036, respectively). Individuals younger than 65 years with higher nap frequency or longer nap duration had a significantly increased risk of CVD events (P < .001, P = .001, respectively). The
