Abstract
In a cohort of 407,500 individuals, sleep durations of ≤5 hours and ≥9 hours were both associated with higher risks of all-cause mortality.
- Sleep duration of ≤5 hours was linked to an all-cause mortality risk increase of 25%.
- Sleep duration of ≥9 hours was associated with a 30% higher risk of all-cause mortality.
- Both short and long sleep durations increased risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and incidence.
- Long sleep duration (≥9 hours) was also connected to a 19% higher risk of cancer mortality.
- Snoring, insomnia, and narcolepsy were identified as independent risk factors for an increased incidence of CVD.
