Abstract
Abstract Objectives We have examined the associations of self-reported night-time sleep duration and daytime sleep with incident heart failure (HF) in men with and without pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Design Population-based prospective study Setting General practices in 24 British towns Participants 3723 men aged 60-79 years without prevalent HF followed up for 9 years. Measurements Incident HF cases were obtained from primary care records. Assessment of sleep was based on self-reported sleep duration at night and daytime napping. Results Self-reported short night-time sleep duration and daytime sleep of > 1 hour were associated with pre-existing CVD, breathlessness, depression, poor health, physical inactivity and manual social class. In all men, self-reported daytime sleep of >1 hour duration was associated with significantly increased risk of HF after adjustment for potential confounders [adjusted HR=1.69 (1.06,2.71] compared to those who reported no daytime napping. Self-reported night-time sleep duration was not associated with HF risk except in men with pre-existing CVD. In these men, compared to night-time sleep of 7 hours the adjusted HRs for HF were 2.91 (1.31,6.45), 1.89 (0.89,4.03), 1.29 (0.61,2.71) and 1.80 (0.71,4.61) for those sleeping <6, 6, 8 and >9 h respectively. Snoring was not associated with HF risk. Conclusion Self-reported daytime napping of > 1 hour is associated with increased risk of HF in older men. Self-reported short sleep (<6h) in men with CVD is associated with particularly high risk of developing HF.
