Sleep Variability and Cardiometabolic Health Among Women
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality has declined significantly over the past two decades, but there has been a recent rise in CVD deaths among younger women (ages 35–54), for reasons yet unknown. The prevalence of poor sleep has steadily increased and is more common among women. There is a growing body of compelling evidence linking poor quality and short duration sleep to increased CVD risk. Poor sleep could be a potential cause for the higher incidence of CVD-related deaths among younger women, yet the mechanisms are not known. Women may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of poor sleep on cardiac health, as they face unique sleep challenges at different life stages, including…
