Body Silhouette Trajectories Over the Lifespan and Insomnia Symptoms: The Paris Prospective Study 3.

ABSTRACT: Insomnia symptoms are highly prevalent and associated with several adverse medical conditions, but only few determinants, including non-modifiable ones, have been highlighted. We investigated associations between body silhouette trajectories over the lifespan and insomnia symptoms in adulthood. From a community-based study, 7 496 men and women aged 50-75 years recalled their body silhouette at age 8, 15, 25, 35 and 45, and rated the frequency of insomnia symptoms on a standardized sleep questionnaire. An Epworth Sleepiness Scale ?11 defined excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Using a group-based trajectory modeling, we identified five body silhouette trajectories: a 'lean-stable' (32.7%), a 'heavy-stable' (8.1%), a 'moderate-stable' (32.5%), a 'lean-increase' (11%) and a 'lean-marked increase' (15.7%) trajectory. In multivariate logistic regression, compared to the 'lean-stable' trajectory, the 'lean-marked increase' and 'heavy-stable' trajectories were associated with a significant increased odd of having ?1 insomnia symptoms as compared to none and of having a proxy for insomnia disorder (?1 insomnia symptom and EDS). The association with the 'lean-marked increase' trajectory' was independent from body mass index measured at study recruitment. In conclusion, increasing body silhouette over the lifespan is associated with insomnia symptoms in adulthood, emphasizing the importance of weight gain prevention during the entire lifespan.

Project description:Psychiatric distress and insomnia symptoms exhibit similar patterning by gender and socioeconomic position. Prospective evidence indicates a bi-directional relationship between psychiatric distress and insomnia symptoms so similarities in social patterning may not be coincidental. Treatment for insomnia can also improve distress outcomes. We investigate the extent to which the prospective patterning of distress over 20 years is associated with insomnia symptoms over that period.999 respondents to the Twenty-07 Study had been followed for 20 years from approximately ages 36-57 (73.2% of the living baseline sample). Psychiatric distress was measured using the GHQ-12 at baseline and at 20-year follow-up. Gender and social class were ascertained at baseline. Insomnia symptoms were self-reported approximately every five years. Latent class analysis was used to classify patterns of insomnia symptoms over the 20 years. Structural Equation Models were used to assess how much of the social patterning of distress was associated with insomnia symptoms. Missing data was addressed with a combination of multiple-imputation and weighting.Patterns of insomnia symptoms over 20 years were classified as either healthy, episodic, developing or chronic. Respondents from a manual social class were more likely to experience episodic, developing or chronic patterns than those from non-manual occupations but this was mostly explained by baseline psychiatric distress. People in manual occupations experiencing psychiatric distress however were particularly likely to experience chronic patterns of insomnia symptoms. Women were more likely to experience a developing pattern than men, independent of baseline distress. Psychiatric distress was more persistent over the 20 years for those in manual social classes and this effect disappeared when adjusting for insomnia symptoms. Irrespective of baseline symptoms, women, and especially those in a manual social class, were more likely than men to experience distress at age 57. This overall association for gender, but not the interaction with social class, was explained after adjusting for insomnia symptoms. Sensitivity analyses supported these findings.Gender and socioeconomic inequalities in psychiatric distress are strongly associated with inequalities in insomnia symptoms. Treatment of insomnia or measures to promote healthier sleeping may therefore help alleviate inequalities in psychiatric distress.

Project description:Body image disturbance is associated with several mental disorders. Previous research on body image has focused mostly on women, largely neglecting body image in men. Moreover, only a small number of studies have conducted gender comparisons of body image over the lifespan and included participants aged 50 years and older. With regard to measurement, body image has often been assessed only in terms of body dissatisfaction, disregarding further aspects such as body appreciation or the importance of appearance. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to explore different aspects of body image in the general German-speaking population and to compare men and women of various ages. Participants completed an online survey comprising questionnaires about body image. Body dissatisfaction, importance of appearance, the number of hours per day participants would invest and the number of years they would sacrifice to achieve their ideal appearance, and body appreciation were assessed and analyzed with respect to gender and age differences. We hypothesized that body dissatisfaction and importance of appearance would be higher in women than in men, that body dissatisfaction would remain stable across age in women, and that importance of appearance would be lower in older women compared to younger women. Body appreciation was predicted to be higher in men than in women. General and generalized linear models were used to examine the impact of age and gender. In line with our hypotheses, body dissatisfaction was higher in women than in men and was unaffected by age in women, and importance of appearance was higher in women than in men. However, only in men did age predict a lower level of the importance of appearance. Compared to men, women stated that they would invest more hours of their lives to achieve their ideal appearance. For both genders, age was a predictor of the number of years participants would sacrifice to achieve their ideal appearance. Contrary to our assumption, body appreciation improved and was higher in women across all ages than in men. The results seem to suggest that men's and women's body image are dissimilar and appear to vary across different ages.

Project description:Chronic insomnia tends to "wax and wane" over lifetime. The presence of residual insomnia symptoms is common, especially among naturally remitted individuals. This study aims to examine the features of these residual symptoms and their potential association with future relapse. A population-based data set on the natural history of insomnia was used for this secondary analysis. Residual insomnia symptoms were investigated in those who had insomnia symptoms/syndrome at baseline and achieved full remission (according to predetermined diagnostic algorithm) within the following 1 year. Cox regressions were used to determine the hazard ratio (HR) of each residual symptom for predicting relapse in the next 4 years. The nature and severity of residual symptoms were examined with an extended version of the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), which incorporates additional items on sleep quality and specific sleep-related daytime impairments (on daytime fatigue, cognitive functioning, mood, interpersonal relationship, and daily activities). In addition, the presence of depressive symptoms and medical conditions were controlled for in investigating risks of insomnia relapse. A total of 434 participants were included in this study (age ranges from 18 to 94; 65.9% female); 248 of them had relapsed within 4 years. The response rate ranged from 78% to 83%. The most frequently reported residual symptoms with at least moderate severity (ISI items ≥2 on 0-4 ISI item scale) were poor "Quality of sleep" (39.2 %), followed by "difficulty maintaining sleep" (DMS; 27%). The most common residual daytime impairments related to insomnia were fatigue (24.7 %), mood disturbances (23%) and cognitive disturbances (22.6%). After controlling for baseline insomnia and depression severity and concurrent physical diseases, impairments of cognition (HR = 1.46), poor quality of sleep (HR = 1.43), disturbed mood (HR = 1.39), being female (HR = 1.36), DMS (HR = 1.35), and fatigue (HR = 1.24) were significantly associated with insomnia relapse in the next 4 years. Moreover, residual poor sleep quality and daytime insomnia symptoms were independent of DMS in predicting relapse. Subgroup regressions according to sex showed that for male participants, residual cognition impairments (HR = 1.98) was the most significant predictors of future relapse, whereas residual DMS (HR = 1.46) significantly predicted relapse for women only. A wide range of residual symptoms exists in individuals with naturally remitted insomnia. Notably, residual DMS is the most common residual nighttime symptom and the only nighttime symptom associated with insomnia relapse. Additionally, perceived poor sleep quality and cognitive, mood, and somatic impairments attributed to sleep disturbances are also related to future relapse. Attention to these residual symptoms when initiating insomnia treatment is warranted to minimize future relapse.
