Abstract

Background: Poor sleep can contribute to poorer health and socioemotional outcomes. Sleep health can be influenced by a range of individual and other socioecological factors. Perceptions of neighborhood physical and social characteristics reflect broader social-level factors that may influence sleep, which have not been well studied in the Australian context. This study examined the association between perceived neighborhood characteristics and sleep in a large sample of Australians.

Methods: Data were from 9,792 people aged 16 years or older, from Waves 16 and 17 of the nationally representative Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey. Associations between perceived neighborhood characteristics (neighborly interaction and support, environmental noise, physical condition, and insecurity) and self-reported sleep duration, sleep disturbance, and napping were examined using multiple logistic regression models.

Results: "Neighborhood interaction and support" and "neighborhood physical condition" were not significantly associated with any sleep outcomes after adjusting for relevant covariates. However, "environmental noise" and "neighborhood insecurity" remained significantly associated with sleep duration and sleep disturbance. None of the neighborhood characteristics were associated with napping. Furthermore, associations did not significantly vary by gender.

Conclusions: This study highlights the potential benefit of public health policies to address noise and safety in neighborhoods to improve sleep.

澳大利亚成年人的感知邻里特征与睡眠。

背景：睡眠不佳会导致较差的健康和社会情感状况。睡眠健康会受到一系列个人和其他社会生态因素的影响。对邻里物质和社会特征的感知反映了可能影响睡眠的更广泛的社会层面因素，而在澳大利亚，对这些因素的研究还不够深入。本研究调查了大量澳大利亚人样本中感知的邻里特征与睡眠之间的关系：数据来自具有全国代表性的 "澳大利亚家庭、收入和劳动力动态调查 "第 16 和第 17 波的 9792 名 16 岁或以上的人。结果："邻里互动和支持"、"环境噪声"、"物理条件 "和 "不安全 "与自我报告的睡眠时间、睡眠障碍和午睡之间的关系通过多重逻辑回归模型进行了检验：结果：在对相关协变量进行调整后，"邻里互动与支持 "和 "邻里物质条件 "与任何睡眠结果均无明显关联。然而，"环境噪声 "和 "邻里不安全 "与睡眠时间和睡眠障碍仍有显著相关性。没有一个社区特征与午睡相关。此外，不同性别之间的关联也没有明显差异：这项研究强调了公共卫生政策在解决社区噪音和安全问题以改善睡眠方面的潜在益处。
