Nine in ten people do not get a good night's sleep, according to research presented at ESC Congress 2022. The study found that suboptimal sleep was associated with a higher likelihood of heart disease and stroke. The authors estimated that seven in ten of these cardiovascular conditions could be prevented if everyone was a good sleeper.
This study included 7,200 participants of the Paris Prospective Study III (PPP3). Men and women aged 50 to 75 years and free of cardiovascular disease were recruited in a preventive medical center between 2008 and 2011. Participants underwent a physical examination and completed questionnaires on lifestyle, personal and family medical history, and medical conditions.
They found that the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke decreased by 22% for every 1 -point rise in the sleep score at baseline.
The researchers estimated the proportion of cardiovascular events that could be prevented with healthier sleep. They found that if all participants had an optimal sleep score, 72% of new cases of coronary heart disease and stroke might be avoided each year.
Over two follow-ups, almost half of the participants changed their sleep score: in 25% it decreased whereas in 23% it improved. When the researchers examined the association between the change in score and cardiovascular events, they found that a 1-point increment over time was associated with a 7% reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease or stroke.
