Sleep duration, baseline cardiovascular risk, inflammation and incident cardiovascular mortality in ambulatory U.S. Adults: National health and nutrition examination survey.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The interplay between sleep duration and inflammation on the baseline and incident cardiovascular (CV) risk is unknown. We sought to evaluate the association between sleep duration, C-reactive protein (CRP), baseline CV risk, and incident CV mortality.

Methods

We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2010 linked with the cause of death data from the National Center for Health Statistics for adults aged ≥18 years. The associations between self-reported sleep duration and CRP, 10-year atherosclerotic CV disease risk score (ASCVD) and CV mortality were assessed using Linear, Poisson and Cox proportional hazard modeling as appropriate.

Results

There were 17,635 eligible participants with a median age of 46 years (interquarti
