Description

Background: Sleep quality has emerged as a significant factor influencing cardiovascular health, yet longitudinal studies elucidating this relationship remain scarce. This study aimed to explore the longitudinal effects of sleep quality on cardiovascular health in adults. Methods: A cohort of 100 adults from Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, was followed over 24 months. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and cardiovascular health was monitored through clinical assessments. Statistical analyses included logistic and linear regression models to evaluate the association between sleep parameters and cardiovascular events and markers, adjusted for confounders. Results: Poor sleep quality, indicated by higher PSQI scores, was associated with a 12% increase in cardiovascular event odds (Odds Ratio: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.04-1.21, p=0.004). A decline in sleep quality over the study period was observed, with sleep duration and efficiency particularly impacting cardiovascular risk. The effects of poor sleep were more pronounced in individuals under 45 years of age and males. Socioeconomic status also modulated the relationship between sleep quality and cardiovascular health. Conclusion: This study highlights the significant impact of sleep quality on cardiovascular health and suggests that improving sleep quality could be a beneficial component of cardiovascular disease prevention strategies, especially among younger adults and lower socioeconomic groups.

 

 

Abstract (English)

Background: Sleep quality has emerged as a significant factor influencing cardiovascular health, yet longitudinal studies elucidating this relationship remain scarce. This study aimed to explore the longitudinal effects of sleep quality on cardiovascular health in adults. Methods: A cohort of 100 adults from Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, was followed over 24 months. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and cardiovascular health was monitored through clinical assessments. Statistical analyses included logistic and linear regression models to evaluate the association between sleep parameters and cardiovascular events and markers, adjusted for confounders. Results: Poor sleep quality, indicated by higher PSQI scores, was associated with a 12% increase in cardiovascular event odds (Odds Ratio: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.04-1.21, p=0.004). A decline in sleep quality over the study period was observed, with sleep duration and efficiency particularly impacting cardiovascular risk. The effects of poor sleep were more pronounced in individuals under 45 years of age and males. Socioeconomic status also modulated the relationship between sleep quality and cardiovascular health. Conclusion: This study highlights the significant impact of sleep quality on cardiovascular health and suggests that improving sleep quality could be a beneficial component of cardiovascular disease prevention strategies, especially among younger adults and lower socioeconomic groups.
