Gliederung

Text

Introduction: Poor sleep is known to be associated with prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. However, these associations are largely based on cross-sectional studies. This study presents longitudinal associations between self-reported sleep characteristics (sleep quality, sleep disturbances, total and nocturnal sleep duration) and incident MCI.

Methods: Participants were selected as complete cases (N = 1890) from the first and second follow-up of the Heinz Nixdorf Recall study, a population-based cohort study in Germany (age at first follow-up 50 to 80 years, without history of cancer, stroke or cardiovascular diseases at baseline, mean duration of follow-up 5.2 years). Additionally, we performed multiple imputation on the extensive dataset and compared complete case and imputation results. MCI was assessed with extensive cognitive test during at both examinations, sleep characteristic were measured at the first examination using standardised questionnaires. Estimates of relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were obtained from a log-linear model with a Poisson working likelihood and robust standard errors (unadjusted and adjusted for sociodemographic and cardiovascular risk factors). We examined how different definitions of nocturnal sleep duration affected the results.

Results: We found that the risk of MCI is associated with poor sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index > 5) (RR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.21 to 1.82, fully adjusted, multiple imputation) and sleep disturbances (e.g. difficulties initiating sleep (almost nightly versus never) RR = 1.43 (1.06 to 1.93)). When nocturnal sleep duration did not explicitly exclude time awake in bed, we found a U-shaped association between sleep duration and MCI risk. When nocturnal sleep duration explicitly excluded time awake, MCI risk was only increased for short sleep (≤ 5 hours) (RR = 1.24 (0.93 to 1.66), reference 7 to < 8 hours).

Conclusion: We found positive associations between poor sleep and risk for MCI. In assessment of sleep duration, explicit exclusion of time awake in bed strongly affected associations with incident MCI.
