Prevalence and factors associated with short and long sleep duration among community-dwelling persons 40 years and older: longitudinal evidence from rural South Africa, 2015-2022.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe prevalence and associated factors of short and long sleep duration in people 40 years of age and older have not been examined in longitudinal research in Africa. The purpose of this study was to use 3-wave longitudinal data from South Africa to determine these factors and prevalence, also stratified by sex.
methodsWe used information from three waves (2015-2022) of the "Health and Ageing in Africa: A Longitudinal Study of an INDEPTH Community in South Africa (HAALSI)". Only individuals 40 years of age and older who were residents of the community and had complete measurements of sleep duration and anthropometry were included in the sample (analytic sample: n = 10483 observations). Self-reported sleep duration was assessed according to the American National Sleep Foundation: Short sleep: <7 h; long sleep: >9 h for ages 40-64, > 8 h for ≥ 65. Multinomial logistic fixed effects (FE) regressions were used to estimate the longitudinal associations between independent variables and short and long sleep duration (with normal or recommended sleep duration as reference).
resultsThe prevalence of short sleep duration was 25.1% and long sleep duration 32.4%. FE logistic regressions showed that decreasing age, being employed, having depressive symptoms, having hypertension, poor sleep quality in men and decreased pain interference in women were associated with short sleep duration. Furthermore, an increase in age, a decrease in employment, a decrease in grandparental care, a decrease in fruit and vegetable intake, a decrease in cognitive functioning, having depressive symptoms, having dynapenia, and having dynapenic abdominal obesity were associated with an increase in long sleep duration.
conclusionsOur knowledge of the factors that contribute to short and long sleep duration in adults 40 years of age and older is improved by this long-term study.
