Thirty-Year Trends in Sleep Disorders and Cardiovascular Disease Risk

Abstract

The aim of the study was to examine the prevalence and trends of sleep disorders and to assess the impact of sleep disorders on the risk of cardiovascular disease in the population aged 25–64 years. Surveys of representative samples of the population aged 25–64 in Novosibirsk were conducted in 1988–2018.2650 men and 3113 women were studied. The risk of developing arterial hypertension (AH) during the first 5 years of follow-up was 5.4 times higher in men and 4.35 times higher in women with sleep disorders than in those without. Men with sleep disorders had a 2.4 times higher risk of MI than those without. The risk of stroke was 3 times greater in men and 1.9 times greater in women with sleep disorders than without. Sleep disorders are a risk factor for MI only in men; for AH and stroke - in both men and women.
