Abstract
Study objectives: Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to poor sleep health outcomes in the general population. Black women (BLW) experience a higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and short and disturbed sleep compared with other races. Therefore, this study tested cross-sectional associations between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration ([25(OH)D]) and sleep health estimates in young adult BLW, followed by an 8-week vitamin D supplementation intervention.
Materials and methods: Forty-three 18-30-year-old BLW underwent blood sampling for serum [25(OH)D]. Sleep metrics were derived from 14-days of wrist accelerometry. Thereafter, participants with [25(OH)D] <30 ng/ml (N = 16) completed an 8-week vitamin D3 supplementation intervention (5000 IU/day) and repeated blood sampling and sleep monitoring.
Results: Linear regressions demonstrate significant cross-sectional associations for [25(OH)D] with sleep efficiency (β = 0.11, p = .03; %) and sleep onset standard deviation (SOSD) (β = -0.53, p = .04; minutes), but no associations with sleep duration or sleep duration standard deviation (p > .18). Among intervention participants, paired-sample t-tests demonstrate a significant increase in [25(OH)D] (16.8 ± 7.0 vs. 55.3 ± 10.0, ng/ml; p < .001), however, no changes were observed among actigraphy-derived sleep variables (all p > .21).
Conclusions: [25(OH)D] was cross-sectionally associated with sleep efficiency and SOSD, however, intervention results from this pilot study do not demonstrate a beneficial effect of vitamin D on several device-estimated sleep metrics in young BLW.

研究目标:在普通人群中,维生素D缺乏与睡眠健康状况不佳有关。与其他种族相比,黑人女性(BLW)的维生素D缺乏症和睡眠不足的患病率更高。因此,本研究测试了年轻成年BLW患者血清25-羟基维生素D浓度([25(OH)D])与睡眠健康评估之间的横断面关联,随后进行了为期8周的维生素D补充干预。材料与方法:对43例18-30岁BLW进行血清[25(OH)D]采血。睡眠指标来自14天的手腕加速度计。结果:线性回归显示[25(OH)D]与睡眠效率(β = 0.11, p = 0.03; %)和睡眠开始标准偏差(SOSD) (β = -0.53, p = 0.04;分钟)有显著的横断面关联,但与睡眠持续时间或睡眠持续时间标准偏差(p >.18)没有关联。在干预参与者中,配对样本t检验显示[25(OH)D]显著增加(16.8±7.0 vs. 55.3±10.0,ng/ml; p p >.21)。结论:[25(OH)D]与睡眠效率和SOSD横断面相关,然而,本初步研究的干预结果并未证明维生素D对年轻BLW中几个设备估计的睡眠指标有有益影响。临床试验注册:维生素D对黑人妇女心血管健康的影响,https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05656742?locStr=Delaware&country=United%20States&state=Delaware&cond=Vitamin%20D%20Deficiency&term=blood%20pressure&intr=Vitamin%20D&rank=1在ClinicalTrials.gov注册ID NCT05656742。
