Dataset Information

Self-reported napping and duration and quality of sleep in the lifestyle interventions and independence for elders pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To determine the prevalence of self-reported napping and its association with subjective nighttime sleep duration and quality, as measured according to sleep-onset latency and sleep efficiency.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders Pilot Study.

Participants

Community-dwelling older adults (N=414) aged 70 to 89.

Measurements

Self-report questionnaire on napping and sleep derived from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale.

Results

Fifty-four percent of participants reported napping, with mean nap duration of 55.0+/-41.2 minutes. Nappers were more likely to be male (37.3% vs 23.8%, P=.003) and African American (20.4% vs 14.4%, P=.06) and to have diabetes mellitus (28% vs 14.3%, P=.007) than non-nappers. Nappers and non-nappers had similar nighttime sleep duration and quality, but nappers spent approximately 10% of their 24-hour sleep occupied in napping. In a multivariate model, the odds of napping were higher for subjects with diabetes mellitus (odds ratio (OR)=1.9, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.2-3.0) and men (OR=1.9, 95% CI=1.2-3.0). In nappers, diabetes mellitus (beta=12.3 minutes, P=.005), male sex (beta=9.0 minutes, P=.04), higher body mass index (beta=0.8 minutes, P=.02), and lower Mini-Mental State Examination score (beta=2.2 minutes, P=.03) were independently associated with longer nap duration.

Conclusion

Napping was a common practice in community-dwelling older adults and did not detract from nighttime sleep duration or quality. Given its high prevalence and association with diabetes mellitus, napping behavior should be assessed as part of sleep behavior in future research and in clinical practice.

Project description:BackgroundSleep duration affects health in various ways. The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationships among sleep duration, daytime napping and kidney function in a middle-aged apparently healthy Chinese population.MethodsAccording to self-reported total sleep and daytime napping durations, 33,850 participants who were 38-90 years old and recruited from eight regional centers were divided into subgroups. Height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, blood pressure, biochemical indexes, fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial blood glucose (PBG), HbA1c, creatinine and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) were measured and recorded for each subject. Microalbuminuria was defined as UACR ?30 mg/g, chronic kidney disease (CKD) was defined as eGFR <60 ml/min, and hyperfiltration was defined as eGFR ?135 ml/min. Multiple logistic regression was applied to investigate the association between sleep and kidney function.ResultsCompared to sleeping for 7-8 h/day, the ORs for microalbuminuria for sleeping for >9 h/day, 8-9 h/day 6-7 h/day and <6 h/day were 1.343 (1.228-1.470, P<0.001), 1.223 (1.134-1.320, P<0.001), 1.130 (1.003-1.273, P = 0.045) and 1.140 (0.908-1.431, P = 0.259), respectively. The eGFR levels exhibited a U-shaped association with sleep duration among subjects with an eGFR ?90 ml/min and an N-shaped association with sleep duration among subjects with an eGFR <90 ml/min. The OR for hyperfiltration for >9 h/day of sleep was 1.400 (1.123-1.745, P = 0.003) among participants with an eGFR ?90 ml/min. Daytime napping had a negative effect on renal health. Compared to the absence of a napping habit, the ORs for microalbuminuria for 0-1 h/day, 1-1.5 h/day and >1.5 h/day of daytime napping were 1.552 (1.444-1.668, P<0.001), 1.301 (1.135-1.491, P<0.001) and 1.567 (1.353-1.814, P<0.001), respectively.ConclusionThe association of total sleep duration with renal health outcomes is U-shaped. Daytime napping has a negative effect on renal health.
