Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the influence of demographic and health-related characteristics on sleep duration among middle-aged women aged 44-64. Utilizing raw data from the 2022 Community Health Survey, a cross-sectional analysis was conducted. The study included middle-aged women who participated in the survey, with data collected through structured interviews. χ2 tests and logistic regression analysis were employed to assess associations between sleep duration and demographic as well as health-related factors. The findings revealed that sleep duration in middle-aged women was significantly associated with multiple factors. Age (p < .001), spouse status (p = .001), occupation (p < .001), self-rated health (p = .004), perceived stress (p < .001), depression (p < .001), cognitive impairment (p = .009), unmet medical needs (p = .034), current cigarette smoking (p = .001), and binge drinking (p = .006) were all identified as important determinants of sleep duration. The results highlight the need for targeted interventions that address both health and psychological risk factors contributing to sleep disturbances among middle-aged women. An integrated approach, considering these factors, is essential to improve sleep health in this vulnerable population.
