Insomnia and Incident Cardiovascular Disease in US Hispanic/Latino Adults: Results From HCHS/SOL
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Insomnia has been recognized as an independent cardiovascular risk factor, but longitudinal evidence remains limited. METHODS: We analyzed data from 3635 participants in the HCHS/SOL (Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos). Insomnia was assessed at baseline using the Women's Health Initiative Insomnia Rating Scale and evaluated by insomnia group status, symptom severity, specific symptom dimensions, and sleep duration. The primary outcome was incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) over a median follow-up of 6.05 years, defined using Framingham composite criteria. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI. Subgroup and interaction analyses examined effect modification by age and sex. RESULTS:
