0858 Associations between Sleep Duration and Cholesterol Levels among Hispanics: Findings from the National Health Interview Survey

Abstract Introduction Short sleep (< 7 hours of sleep/24 hr. period) duration is associated with unhealthy cholesterol levels, a significant cardiovascular risk marker. Precious epidemiological studies indicate that Hispanics are at increased for hypercholesteremia. However, little known about whether contributes to high among Hispanics. We sought investigate the following: 1) Examine predicts levels; 2) this relationship differs in comparison non-Hispanics. Methods This study was based on 2020 National Health Interview Survey. Cholesterol, outcome, defined as an individual had during last 12 months. Sleep quantity categorized follows: short hours), healthy (7-8 and long (≥9 hours). For stratified analyses, we investigated between differed performed unadjusted fully adjusted binary logistic regression age, sex, education, income, BMI covariates. Results In our models, Hispanic sleepers odds (OR: 1.39 p<.01 ), while 1.25, n.s. p=.129) did not, compared individuals who slept 7-8 hours. Non-Hispanic 1.14 p<.01) 1.47, p< .01) greater cholesterol, 1.29, p<.05), not 1.15, p=.55), Non-Hispanics 1.13 p<.01), sleepers, no observed 1.05, p=.46), Overall, their non-Hispanic counterparts. Conclusion have cholesterol.
