Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: This study aims to investigate the associations between diagnosis history of chronic conditions and habitual sleep duration, and the role of sociodemographic factors in-between the associations. Methods: 2013 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System was used. Multinomial regressions were performed to investigate the risk for extreme sleep durations among those with depression or chronic diseases. Stratified regression analyses were further done to investigate the interactions of sociodemographic variable and depression/chronic diseases on habitual sleep durations. Results: Among 491, 773 respondents, most diagnoses were associated with suboptimal sleep durations except skin cancer. In general, the risk for very short sleep duration is higher than that for short and long sleep durations across the diagnoses and groups. Age, sex, education level, race and marital status significantly moderated the relationship between the diagnosis history and extreme sleep durations. Moreover, with depression or arthritis, people in younger age group were more likely to report very short sleep durations than the older group. Men are more likely to report very short sleep duration than women if they had depression. Yet, females are more likely to report very short sleep duration than males if they had the diagnosis of physical diseases. Higher education was associated with lower risk for very short sleep duration in depression, but the trend reversed for heart diseases. For white population, the associations between diagnosis and extreme sleep durations were significant across all chronic conditions. In contrast, black people are less like to have long sleep durations if they had the previous diagnosis of pulmonary diseases, asthma, and arthritis. Conclusion: Sociodemographic factors significantly moderated the relationship between previous chronic illness and sleep duration extremes. Nature of the chronic conditions and social-economic status may account for the discrepancies in medical diagnosis-sleep duration associations. Further study was required to understand sleep duration, as a health behavior, in the context of antecedent chronic conditions. Support (If Any): none.
