Abstract

Background Previous studies found an association between self-reported sleep duration and mortality. This study aimed to compare the effects of objective and self-reported sleep duration on all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Methods and Results A total of 2341 men and 2686 women (aged 63.9±11.1 years) were selected from the SHHS (Sleep Heart Health Study). Objective sleep duration was acquired using in-home polysomnography records, and self-reported sleep duration on weekdays and weekends was based on a sleep habits questionnaire. The sleep duration was categorized as ≤4 hours, 4 to 5 hours, 5 to 6 hours, 6 to 7 hours, 7 to 8 hours, and >8 hours. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to investigate the association of objective and self-reported sleep duration with all-cause and CVD mortality. During a mean follow-up period of 11 years, 1172 (23.3%) participants died, including 359 (7.1%) deaths from CVD. All-cause and CVD mortality rates decreased gradually with increasing objective sleep duration. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, the greatest association for all-cause and CVD mortality was with an objective sleep duration of 5 hours or shorter. In addition, we found a J-shaped association of self-reported sleep duration on both weekdays and weekends with all-cause and CVD mortality. Self-reported short (≤4 hours) and long (>8 hours) sleep duration on weekdays and weekends were associated with an increased risk of all-cause and CVD mortality compared with 7 to 8 hours sleep duration. Furthermore, a weak correlation was observed between objective and self-reported sleep duration. Conclusions This study showed that both objective and self-reported sleep duration were associated with all-cause and CVD mortality, but with different characteristics.
