The article presents a study which examined the relationship between daytime sleepiness and the risk of ischemic stroke and vascular events in an elderly, multiethnic prospective cohort, using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) on 2,088 community residents in New York City. The incidence of ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), other vascular events, and all deaths whether vascular or nonvascular, was classified. Sleep is equally problematic across race-ethnic groups.
