Beverly CM, et al. - Researchers analyzed data for 4,906 men and women aged 20-74 years from the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to test the premise that short and long sleep duration would be associated with increased odds of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Findings demonstrated the association between extremes of sleep duration and elevated odds of self-reported CVD diagnosis in this nationally representative sample of US adults exists, but was not statistically significant after multivariable adjustment. As adequate sleep duration is only one aspect of a healthy sleep profile, other sleep factors should be evaluated and might help explain the relationship with CVD.
