- Abstract
Background: Inappropriate sleep duration is a potential cause of stroke. But the effect of napping on stroke risk remains controversial and the interaction between night sleep and napping duration remains unclear. The objective of this study was to examine the independent and combined effects of napping and nocturnal sleep duration on stroke. Methods: Subjects were derived from a rural cohort study in Henan. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was applied to identify nap duration and nocturnal sleep duration. Binary logistic regression was employed to indicate the dose–response relationships between naps, nocturnal sleep, total 24-h sleep duration, and stroke. Results: Among the 37,341 participants (14,485 men), 2600 suffered from a stroke. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence level (CI) for stroke in the fully adjusted model were 1.37 (1.13–1.65) for men nappers compared to non-nappers. Compared to 7–8 h of sleep per day, night sleep durations < 6 h and ≥ 9 h and 24-h sleep duration ≥ 10 h were linked to increased odds of stroke in men. The ORs (95%CI) were 1.34 (1.06–1.69) in nocturnal sleep duration < 6 h, 1.30 (1.06–1.59) in nocturnal sleep duration ≥ 9 h, and 1.40 (1.15–1.71) in 24-h sleep duration ≥ 10 h in men. In addition, long naps and prolonged nocturnal sleep duration have a joint effect on stroke in the fully adjusted model. Conclusion: The napping duration and nocturnal sleep duration have independently and jointly effects on stroke in rural populations. More research is required to explore the underlying mechanisms for this relationship. Clinical trial registration: The Henan Rural Cohort Study has been registered on the Chinese Clinical Trial Register (Registration number: ChiCTR-OOC-15006699) (http://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=11375).
