ABSTRACT: Objective
To examine whether the relationship between the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and various sleep parameters [sleep duration, symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), and sleep disturbances] varies by age.Methods
Waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting glucose were used to determine MetS status in a cohort (N?=?19,691) of middle-aged (aged 45-64?years) and older (aged ?65?years) subjects. Habitual sleep duration (short, ?6?h/day; normal, 7-8?h/day; and long ?9?h/day), sleep disturbances (such as problems with falling and staying asleep), and symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB, such as snoring and sleep apneas) were measured by questionnaires.Results
Among the participants, 4,941 subjects (25.1%) fulfilled the criteria for MetS. In the entire sample, both short and long sleep durations were associated with higher prevalence of MetS as compared to normal sleep duration. When stratified by age, a similar pattern was observed for middle-aged subjects (<65?years old; prevalence ratio (PR) [95% CI], 1.13 [1.06-1.22] for short sleep and 1.26 [1.06-1.50] for long sleep duration). In contrast, in older individuals (?65?years old), only long sleep duration was linked to a higher prevalence of MetS (1.26 [1.12-1.42]; P?P?P?>?0.05 for sleep disturbance?×?age).Conclusion
Our results suggest that age may modify the associations between some sleep parameters and the prevalence of MetS.
