Insomnia Symptoms Are Not Associated with Dyslipidemia: A Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

The purpose of this study was to examine whether or not insomnia symptoms were associated with measured dyslipidemia.

Methods

This was a population-based multiyear cross-sectional study, using data from 2005-2008 United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Survey participants ages 20 y and older self-reported the frequency of difficulty falling asleep, prolonged nocturnal awakening, and undesired early morning awakening over the preceding month. One-time venipuncture was performed and a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of ≥ 160 mg/ dL, triglycerides of ≥ 200 mg/dL, and a high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) of < 40 mg/dL denoted dyslipidemia. Descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression were used.
