Prevalence of Sleep Disturbances in Latin American Populations and Its Association with Their Socioeconomic Status-A Systematic Review and a Meta-Analysis.

Background: The worldwide increase in the prevalence and incidence of sleep disturbances represents a major public health issue. Among multiple determinants affecting sleep health, an individual's socioeconomic status (SES) is the most ignored and underestimated throughout the literature. No systematic review on the relation between SES and sleep health has been previously conducted in Latin America.

Social disparities in sleep health of African populations: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

Objectives: To document the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and sleep health in African populations.

Methods: Observational cross-sectional or cohort studies examining the association between SES indicators and sleep outcomes in participants from African countries were included. The search was performed in the MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science Core Collection electronic databases in June 2021.

Determinants of Health Inequalities in Iran and Saudi Arabia: A Systematic Review of the Sleep Literature.

Sleep health inequalities represent an increasing public health concern. Among multiple determinants affecting sleep health, there is people's socioeconomic status (SES), and no systematic review on the relationship between SES and sleep health has been previously conducted in Iran and Saudi Arabia. Following the Prisma protocol, ten articles were selected.

Socioeconomic status and sleep health: a narrative synthesis of 3 decades of empirical research.

Study Objectives: This review aims to assess the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and sleep health in the general population and the mediating effects of lifestyle and mental and physical health in this relationship.

Methods: Observational studies testing the independent association between objective or subjective SES indicators and behavioral/physiological or clinical sleep health variables in the general population were included. PubMed/MEDLINE was searched for reports published from January 1990 to December 2019.

Towards A Socioeconomic Model of Sleep Health among the Canadian Population: A Systematic Review of the Relationship between Age, Income, Employment, Education, Social Class, Socioeconomic Status and Sleep Disparities.

A better understanding of the contribution of the socioeconomic status (SES) in sleep health could guide the development of population-based interventions aiming to reduce "the silent public health issue" that are sleep disturbances. PRISMA was employed to identify relevant studies having examined the association between social class, social capital, education, income/assets, occupation/employment status, neighborhood deprivation and sleep health. Sixteen cross-sectional and three longitudinal studies were selected, having sampled 226,029 participants aged from 2 months to 85 years old.

Measuring Sleep Health Disparities with Polysomnography: A Systematic Review of Preliminary Findings.

Socioeconomic status (SES) has an unrecognized influence on behavioral risk factors as well as public health strategies related to sleep health disparities. In addition to that, objectively measuring SES' influence on sleep health is challenging. A systematic review of polysomnography (PSG) studies investigating the relation between SES and sleep health disparities is worthy of interest and holds potential for future studies and recommendations.

Socioeconomic status and sleep disturbances among pediatric population: a continental systematic review of empirical research.

To this day, no consensus has been established on the definition and the conceptualization of the socioeconomic status (SES), since all the available studies on the relation between SES and health did not use the same conceptual framework and operationalization to assess SES. While literature reported that SES markers (such as income, social support networks, education, employment or occupation) influence the health of populations by shaping living conditions; empirical research does not tell us which SES markers affect more strongly the sleep components of the individuals, as well as which sleep disorders (SD) are affected and how. Even though several original studies have tried to assess how changes in socioeconomic status of parents may affect the psychosocial environment and mental health of an individual directly or through his community, no systematic reviews on the influence of SES on children's sleep are available.

Influence of socioeconomic status on objective sleep measurement: A systematic review and meta-analysis of actigraphy studies.

Social inequities have many health effects; one of these is a potential relationship to sleep disturbances. Socioeconomic status (SES) is an important factor that contributes to social inequities. SES is a marker of living conditions and habits that influence health by way of different processes, including stress-related mechanisms.

Socioeconomic disparities in obstructive sleep apnea: a systematic review of empirical research.

Background: Considering socioeconomic status (SES) in the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) will enhance our understanding of socioeconomic disparities in clinical practice of sleep medicine. This systematic review analyzes the relations between SES and OSA measures.

Methodology: Eleven articles were identified through the Pubmed database.
