Association of Objective Long Sleep Duration and Insomnia with Objective Short Sleep Duration Phenotypes with Mortality in Older Persons.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the association of objective long sleep duration (LS) and insomnia with objective short sleep duration (ISSD) with mortality in older persons.

Methods

In 3,054 men (average age 76.4±5.5; mean follow-up=12.1 years) and 3,048 women (average age 83.6±4.8; mean follow-up=5.4 years), Cox proportional hazards models examined the association of LS (actigraphy-estimated sleep duration>8h) and ISSD (insomnia [difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep and/or sleep medication use ≥3/week] and concurrent actigraphy-estimated sleep duration<6h) with mortality. Other phenotypes (insomnia with normal sleep duration [INSD; insomnia and sleep duration 6-8h]; asymptomatic short sleep [AS; no insomnia and sleep duration<6h]) were also examined.
