Objective short sleep duration increases the risk of all-cause mortality associated with possible vascular cognitive impairment.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Cognitive impairment is a leading cause of disability worldwide, and cardiometabolic conditions are key contributors to its development. Short sleep is also a potential contributor to brain health; however, its role in predicting mortality remains poorly understood. We investigated whether objective short sleep duration increases the risk of all-cause mortality associated with coexisting cognitive impairment and cardiometabolic conditions, i.e., possible vascular cognitive impairment (VCI).

Design

This is a longitudinal study.

Setting

This is a population-based, in-lab study.

Participants

A total of 1,524 adults (aged 48.9±13.4 years, 53.4% women) from the Penn State Adult Cohort were included in the study.

Measurements

All-cause mortality was
