Sleep Duration, Lipid Profile and Insulin Resistance: Potential Role of Lipoprotein(a).

ABSTRACT: Lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) is considered a genetic factor for cardiovascular disease playing an important role in atherogenesis and thrombosis, but the evidence about its association with sleep duration is controversial. We evaluated the relation between self-reported sleep duration and Lp(a). Among 1600 participants of the population-based sample, we selected 1427 subjects without previously known cardiovascular events, who answered the questions about their sleep duration; had valid lipid profile results (total cholesterol, low- and high-density lipoproteins, Lp(a), apolipoprotein AI (ApoAI), ApoB, and ApoB/ApoAI); and did not take lipid-lowering drugs (mean age 46 ± 12 years). We performed a structured interview, which included questions about lifestyle, medical history, complaints, and sl
