Background: Evidence on the potential effects of midday napping on risk of stroke in Chinese populations remains limited.

Objectives: We aimed to prospectively investigate the association between midday napping and risk of subsequent stroke and stroke subtypes in the Kailuan study.

Methods: Midday napping duration was obtained from a self-reported questionnaire. Incident stroke cases from baseline (2014) to December 31, 2020 were confirmed by review of medical records. The association of midday napping duration with risk of incident stroke and subtypes was examined using a Cox regression model, adjusting for potential confounders. We further investigated the joint effects of nocturnal sleep duration and midday napping on the risk of stroke.

Results: A total of 96,899 individuals (21.0 % women; 51.9 ± 14.0 years) were included. During an average follow-up of 5.62 ± 0.69 years, 2539 incident stroke cases were documented. After adjusting for potential confounders, we found that participants with a midday napping duration of >60 min/day had higher risk of incident stroke (adjusted HR: 1.23; 95 % CI: 1.07, 1.42), compared with those without midday napping. Furthermore, significant joint effects were found in both nocturnal sleep duration (P-interaction=0.04) and snoring status (P-interaction= 0.005) on the association between midday napping duration and the risk of incident stroke, especially for participants who napped >60 min/day and slept ≤7 h/night compared with those who slept 7-8 h/night and did not take a nap, or those who napped >60 min/day and snored compared with those who did not take a nap and snore.

Conclusions: We found that prolonged midday napping (>60 min/day) was associated with higher risk of stroke and the association was stronger among those with shorter nocturnal sleep duration or those who snored.

Background: Prior studies have demonstrated a prevalent occurrence of depression among the middle-aged and older Chinese individuals with chronic diseases. Nevertheless, there is limited research on the specific subgroups of depression trajectories within this population and the factors influencing these subgroups.

Objective: To explore the changing trajectory and influencing factors of depression in the middle-aged and older individuals with chronic disease in China, and provide the data reference for the health management of the older adult population in China.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored the links between sleep duration, sleep restfulness, and midday napping with hip fractures and falls in a representative sample of the Chinese population, using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2013-2018).
  • - Out of 10,508 participants, 3% reported hip fractures and 37.1% experienced at least one fall over five years, with those sleeping less than 6 hours more likely to report these issues compared to those with normal sleep (6-9 hours).
  • - Results indicated that short sleep duration and poor sleep restfulness are connected to a higher risk of hip fractures and falls, suggesting that improving sleep quality could be beneficial for public health, particularly

We examined associations between nighttime sleep and midday nap duration with all-cause mortality according to adherence to moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) recommendations in older adults. We used data from 3518 and 3273 older adults recruited in the Seniors-ENRICA-1 and 2 cohorts, respectively. Nighttime sleep time was classified as short (< 7 h), middle (≥ 7 and < 8 h), and long (≥ 8 h), and midday napping as no nap, short (≤ 30 min), long (> 30 and ≤ 60 min), and very long (> 60 min).

Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between midday nap time, nighttime sleep duration, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in Chinese older adults and determine the recommended sleep duration to provide a scientific basis for preventing and managing MCI in this population.

Methods: Utilizing the 2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study database, the demographic data, health status, and lifestyle information of the study participants were collected. A total of 5,314 valid samples were included in the analysis.
