Going late to bed tied to development of premature coronary artery disease: Study
Tehran, Iran: A recent study in the Archives of Iranian Medicine has linked late bedtime with the presence of premature coronary artery disease (PCAD). However, the authors stress the need for future prospective studies to elucidate the exact role of late bedtime in the development of premature coronary atherosclerosis.
Prior to the study, not much was known regarding the impact of quantity and quality of sleep on the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Farzad Masoudkabir, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, and colleagues, therefore, aimed to investigate the possible independent association of late bedtime and premature coronary artery disease.
For this purpose, the researchers designed a cross-sectional population-based study on 30101 participants aged 20–65 years in Khuzestan Comprehensive Health Study (KCHS) between October 2016 and November 2019. They then gathered data on major risk factors of cardiovascular disease, habit history, physical activity, and sleep behavior and participants underwent blood pressure, anthropometric, and serum lipid and glucose profile measurements.
