Sleep and cardiometabolic health by government-assisted rental housing status among Black and White men and women in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate Black-White disparities in suboptimal sleep and cardiometabolic health by government-assisted rental housing status.

Design

National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) pooled cross-sectional data (2004-2016).

Setting

Participants

Black and White adult participants (n = 80,880).

Measurements

Poisson regression with robust variance was used to estimate prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals for self-reported unrecommended (<6 hours), short (≤6-<7 hours), and long (>9 hours) sleep duration (each separately vs recommended (≤7-9 hours)) and sleep difficulties (eg, trouble falling/staying asleep ≥3 days/week) (yes vs no) among Blacks compared to Whites within rental housing categories (government-assisted vs u
