Actigraphic Sleep Health During Adolescence Predicts Young Adult Cardiovascular Health.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adequate sleep duration among middle-aged and older adults predicts better future cardiovascular health (CVH). It is unclear whether adolescent sleep health predicts young adult CVH, particularly using objective sleep measures.

Objectives

The authors examined whether actigraphic adolescent sleep health predicted young adult CVH.

Methods

Data were from a diverse U.S. population-based sample of 307 youth (57% F) from the Future of Families (FF) and Child Wellbeing Study, the FF- CHAYA (Cardiovascular Health Among Young Adults) Study, and the FF-Sleep Sub-Study. At age 15 years, adolescents wore wrist-actigraphy devices for ∼1 week. Multiple linear regression analyses adjusted for sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics examined whether age 15y average
