The objective of this study was to investigate a mediating relationship between social support and disturbed sleep in cases surviving myocardial infarction. The case-referent studies, Stockholm Heart Epidemiological Program (SHEEP) and Västernorrland Heart Epidemiological Program (VHEEP) were used comprising 6231 participants (2046 women). Referents were randomly selected. Disturbed sleep was operationalized by the Karolinska Sleep Questionnaire, network support by the Availability of Social Integration Index and emotional support by the Availability of Attachment Index. Mediating associations were tested with logistic regression. The results show that disturbed sleep may act as a mediator between low network support and myocardial infarction in women.

Older cerebral small vessel disease and sleep disturbance: A diffusion tensor imaging study.
Sleep Med
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, 300211, China. Electronic address:
Objective: This study examined the relationship between diffusion tensor imaging indicators and brain network characteristics in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) with (CSVD + S) and without (CSVD-S) sleep disturbance. We explored the feasibility of using these imaging biomarkers to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying sleep disturbance in patients with CSVD.
Methods: A total of 146 patients with CSVD and 84 healthy controls were included.
