Evaluation of Temporal Trends in Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Sleep Duration Among US Adults, 2004-2018

Abstract: IMPORTANCEHistorically marginalized racial and ethnic groups are generally more likely to experience sleep deficiencies. It is unclear how these sleep duration disparities have changed during recent years. OBJECTIVE To evaluate 15-year trends in racial and ethnic differences in self-reported sleep duration among adults in the US. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This serial cross-sectional study used US population-based

“…We found racial differences in sleep duration, racial/ethnic minorities, particularly non-Hispanic blacks, reported shorter sleep durations than non-Hispanic whites. This is consistent with the findings of a recent study showing significant differences in sleep duration by race and ethnicity, with the incidence of unrecommended sleep durations consistently higher in black individuals [ 35 ]. These persistent disparities may lead to other persistent racial and ethnic disparities in health.…”

“…Notably, the age‐adjusted prevalence of short sleep duration is significantly higher among non‐Hispanic African Americans (45.8%), compared to Whites (33.4%) 36 . A recent study reported that from 2004 to 2018, the annual estimated prevalence of short sleep duration was persistently the highest among Black adults 38 . Additionally, African Americans are more likely to hold multiple jobs and perform shift work, 39 placing them at higher risk for insufficient sleep.…”

Similarly, obesity and related metabolic comorbidities are especially common in underrepresented minority populations, 40 which account for disproportionately high morbidity and mortality.…”

“…Sleep duration and quality have a low correlation [ 38 ] and are independently related to physical and mental health [ 39 ]. Although sleep duration has served as a useful variable to explain trends and disparities in health among populations [ 40 ], data on sleep quality would provide a better understanding of these relationships [ 38 ]. Other measures of sleep, such as sleep onset latency and daytime symptoms, or other variables such as treatment modalities for depression and thiamine intake from supplements were also not included in the original dataset, thus leaving possible residual confounding despite thorough adjustments.…”
