Transition of nighttime sleep duration and sleep quality with incident cardiovascular disease among middle-aged and older adults: results from a national cohort study.
Article in Archives of public health = Archives belges de sante publique, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSleep health has recently been incorporated into the Life's Essential 8 of the American Heart Association. Little is known about the associations between changes in nighttime sleep behavior and healthy outcomes, especially for the elderly. This study explores associations between transition of nighttime sleep duration and sleep quality and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among middle-aged and older adults in China.
methodsData were derived from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study from 2011 to 2018, and a total of 7,905 participants age ≥ 45 years were included. Participants were classified according to nighttime sleep duration (6-8, < 6 or > 8 h) and sleep quality assessed by the number of restless sleep days in the past week (< 3, 3-7 days). Four groups of the changing patterns in nighttime sleep duration and sleep quality between 2011 and 2015 were identified. CVD including heart disease and stroke was defined based on medical diagnosis. Robust Poisson regression and the restricted cubic spline were employed to evaluate the association between the transition of nighttime sleep behavior and the risk of CVD.
resultsCompared to participants with consistently optimal nighttime sleep duration, those with consistently non-optimal (incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 1.36, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15-1.61, P < 0.001), optimal to non-optimal (IRR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.02-1.43, P = 0.032), or non-optimal to optimal (IRR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.02-1.48, P = 0.026) transition in nighttime sleep duration had higher risks of CVD. Additionally, those with a good to poor (IRR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.20-1.68, P < 0.001) or a consistently poor (IRR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.32-1.83, P < 0.001) changing pattern in nighttime sleep quality were associated with an increased risk of CVD compared to those with a consistently good changing pattern. There was a U-shaped association between changes in nighttime sleep duration and the incidence of CVD in sleep-deprived people. Changes in sleep quality and the risk of CVD exhibited a linear association.
conclusionsPersistent non-optimal nighttime sleep duration and poor sleep quality are associated with an increased risk of CVD in middle-aged and older adults. These findings highlight the importance of considering transitions in sleep behavior in CVD risk assessment for middle-aged and older adults, and emphasize the significance of long-term exposure to poor sleep behavior on their cardiovascular health.
