Sleep Disorders Highly Prevalent and Under-Recognized • Short Sleep (< 7hrs): 40% of adults, increasing over time • Sleep Apnea: 17% of adult population, increasing with obesity epidemic • Insomnia: 20-25% of adults • Shift work: 20% • Sleep Apnea and Short Sleep More Prevalent in Poorer and Ethnic Minorities
Sleep Disorders Impact Cardiovascular Health • Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease • Arousals, sleep fragmentation may be key mediator • Diabetes and Insulin Resistance • Hypoxemia may be key mediator • Incident Stroke and Mortality • OR/RR: 1.5-3.0
Sleep Disordered Breathing (Sleep Apnea, OSA) Repetitive episodes of partial or complete upper airway obstruction during sleep, associated with hypoxemia, snoring, daytime sleepiness
Sleep Apnea Prevalence • Mild Sleep Apnea ~ 1 in 5 US adults • Moderate/Severe Sleep Apnea ~ 1 in 15 US adults • >85% with treatable disease undiagnosed • 2-3:1 Male:Female Predominance
Coronary Artery Disease and OSA OR 2.9 for incident non-fatal CVD after multiple risk factor adjustment who declined CPAP Marin, Lancet 2005
Increased Mortality with SDB > 2-fold Increased Mortality in Men < 70 years Punjabi. PLOS-2009
Short Sleep and Health People getting < 6 hrs per sleep/night are at a more than 30% increased risk for: • Diabetes • Coronary heart disease • Mortality
Shortcomings of Prior Studies • Prior cohort studies have limited objective measures of cardiac or vascular function • Limited data on atherosclerotic risk factors (lipids, inflammatory markers) • Limited minority representation (almost no Asians, few Hispanics) • Both PSG and Actigraphy rarely performed.
Aims of the MESA Sleep Study To test whether ‘poor or disturbed sleep:’ *Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) * Sleep Deprivation * Fragmented Sleep * Periodic Limb Movements (RLS) * Shift work Are associated with: Cardiovascular risk factors (lipids, glucose, HTN) Subclinical CVD (heart dysfunction, CAC, IMT) CVD events (coronary artery, stroke)
Opportunities Collecting Sleep Information In MESA Sleep Disorders are common and often unrecognized, especially in under-studied ethnic minorities Sleep Disorders (deprivation, sleep apnea) impact CV health Measuring sleep in MESA will provide indices that may better predict CV risk, providing explanatory information for known ethnic and gender differences in CVD. MESA’s unique measures of cardiac and vascular function combined with sleep measurements will allow an understanding of the role of sleep disorders in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, hypertension and congestive heart failure Enhanced use of genotyped material to identify variants for sleep disorders
Exposures Assessment • Sleep Apnea and Hypoxemia • Sleep Duration (average, long, short; consistency) • Sleep Fragmentation: quality and architecture • Sleep Phase: When do you sleep; Circadian rhythm • Leg movements • Daytime Sequel • Sleepiness • Functional Impairment
MESA’s SLEEP MEASUREMENTS • WRIST ACTIGRAPHY • 24/7 patterns of sleep/wake • POLYSOMNOGRAPHY (PSG) • Single night of neurophysiological monitoring-apnea, PLMs, sleep stages • Sleep Journal (Diary) • Subjective bed/wake times • Sleep Health Questionnaire (20 item) • Symptoms- sleep duration, snoring, insomnia, RLS, sleepiness, functional impact of sleep, circadian preference, shift work
Targets and Accrual • 2500 MESA participants • Attempt to over-recruit minorities if participation rate is > 50% • 24-27 month accrual period • Up to 6 month lag from Core Visit • 3 to 6 participants per week
Measurements Polysomnography: Overnight in-home monitoring (electroencephalograms, electrooculograms, airflow by thermocouple, thoracic and abdominal excursions, finger pulse oximetry, and ambient light sensor). Definitions: AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index) Average number of Hypopneas and Apneas per hr of sleep Events must be 10 sec with a 4% Oxygen desaturation Arousal Index Average number of Arousals per hr of sleep Sleep Efficiency % of total time in bed spent asleep
Polysomnography Considered “gold standard” Precise neurophysiological monitoring of multiple channels of data EEG, oximetry, airflow, effort, ECG, legs
Actigraphy • Devices used to measure movement • Wrist: Sleep-wake estimation • Piezoelectric Sensors measure digitized acceleration signals over 30 to 60 sec. • Algorithms convert average movement to sleep – wake “epochs” • Can be worn for days to weeks • Light (lux) data collected • 3 wavelengths • Time off wrist identified
Periodic Limb Movements in Sleep • Leg or legs jerk every 20-40 seconds • Clustered in repetitive episodes • May cause arousals from sleep • > 5 episodes with arousal per hour of sleep CVD, Mortality, ADHD
Sleep Diaries (Journals) • Used for > 30 yrs • Direct recording vs recall • Enhanced reliability –data over several nights • High correlation between diary sleep duration and: • Actigraphy (r=.95) • Lower correlation compared to single item Q (r=.27) • Used to help edit the actigraphy data
MESA-Sleep Protocol Overview • In-home Sleep visit (1-180 days after Exam 5) • Prior to in-home Sleep visit (in clinic): • Set up equipment and supplies for in-home sleep visit • Actigraph • Somte PSG • Evening of in-home visit (in participant’s home): • Describe sleep procedures and obtain informed consent (?) • Review use of diaries and administer Sleep Questionnaire • Demonstrate actigraph and record first entry of sleep diary • Hook up participant for PSG/Complete signal verification form • Perform signal verification & check for any medical alerts • Provide instructions for equipment use and retrieval of equipment Begin PSG recording • Morning after in-home sleep visit (in participant’s home): • Retrieve Sleep Questionnaire and PSG equipment/Inquire regarding problems/Remind to continue to wear actigraph and complete diary
