Abstract
Background: Sleep disorders are common and heterogeneous conditions associated with systemic inflammation. They can impair quality of life and increase disease burden. Currently, studies investigating the association between sleep disorders and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-related inflammatory biomarkers are lacking.
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the associations between HDL-related inflammatory biomarkers and sleep disorders.
Material and methods: This study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; 2005-2014). Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to explore the associations between HDL-related inflammatory biomarkers, including platelet-to-HDL ratio (PHR), lymphocyte-to-HDL ratio (LHR), neutrophil-to-HDL ratio (NHR), and monocyte-to-HDL ratio (MHR), and the prevalence of sleep disorders and sleep duration. Subgroup analyses were conducted to investigate potential interactions. In addition, the nonlinear relationship between these inflammatory biomarkers and the likelihood of sleep disorders was assessed using restricted cubic spline (RCS) models. Finally, the robustness of the observed associations was examined through sensitivity analyses.
Results: A total of 23,045 individuals were included. In the fully adjusted models, higher MHR (odds ratio (OR) = 1.33; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.11-1.60), NHR (OR = 1.25; 95% CI: 1.04-1.49), LHR (OR = 1.24; 95% CI: 1.05-1.48), and PHR (OR = 1.18; 95% CI: 1.00-1.39) were positively associated with an increased prevalence of sleep disorders. The RCS analysis revealed linear relationships between these inflammatory biomarkers and the likelihood of sleep disorders (all p for nonlinearity >0.05). Subgroup analyses indicated that sex and marital status significantly interacted with all 4 indices (all p for interaction <0.05). Compared with individuals with the recommended sleep duration (7-9 h/day), those with short (<7 h/day) and long (>9 h/day) sleep durations had elevated NHR levels.
Conclusions: This study revealed a linear association between HDL-related inflammatory biomarkers and sleep disorders. Moreover, sex and marital status modified the associations of all 4 indices with sleep disorders. In addition, these inflammatory biomarkers were associated with sleep duration.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been published by the Wroclaw Medical University since 1992. Establishing the medical journal was the idea of Prof. Bogumił Halawa, Chair of the Department of Cardiology, and was fully supported by the Rector of Wroclaw Medical University, Prof. Zbigniew Knapik. Prof. Halawa was also the first editor-in-chief, between 1992-1997. The journal, then entitled "Postępy Medycyny Klinicznej i Doświadczalnej", appeared quarterly.
Prof. Leszek Paradowski was editor-in-chief from 1997-1999. In 1998 he initiated alterations in the profile and cover design of the journal which were accepted by the Editorial Board. The title was changed to Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine. Articles in English were welcomed. A number of outstanding representatives of medical science from Poland and abroad were invited to participate in the newly established International Editorial Staff.
Prof. Antonina Harłozińska-Szmyrka was editor-in-chief in years 2000-2005, in years 2006-2007 once again prof. Leszek Paradowski and prof. Maria Podolak-Dawidziak was editor-in-chief in years 2008-2016. Since 2017 the editor-in chief is prof. Maciej Bagłaj.
Since July 2005, original papers have been published only in English. Case reports are no longer accepted. The manuscripts are reviewed by two independent reviewers and a statistical reviewer, and English texts are proofread by a native speaker.
The journal has been indexed in several databases: Scopus, Ulrich’sTM International Periodicals Directory, Index Copernicus and since 2007 in Thomson Reuters databases: Science Citation Index Expanded i Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
In 2010 the journal obtained Impact Factor which is now 1.179 pts. Articles published in the journal are worth 15 points among Polish journals according to the Polish Committee for Scientific Research and 169.43 points according to the Index Copernicus.
Since November 7, 2012, Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been indexed and included in National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database. English abstracts printed in the journal are included and searchable using PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.
