Abstract

Context:

There are various reasons why people cannot sleep long enough, including: work, stress or illnesses that prevent adequate rest. Sleep deprivation is considered a risk for developing various health problems, one of which to consider is myocardial infarction (MI). MI occurs when the heart does not receive an adequate amount of blood due to a blockage in the coronary vessels. The importance of this study will focus on determining the association between sleep deprivation and MI.

Aim:

To assess the association between sleep deprivation and myocardial infarction among adults 18 years and older in the US in 2020.

Methodology:

A cross-sectional and analytical study design was used. National data from the 2020 BRFSS (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System) survey were used. The main outcome variable was MI, and the main exposure variable was hours of sleep, race/ethnicity, age, sex, body mass index (BMI), alcohol and tobacco use were added as covariates to the analysis.
