Abstract
Objective
To examine the association of a healthy sleep pattern, characterized by sleep of 7
to 8 h/d, morning person, no insomnia, no frequent snoring, and no daytime sleepiness,
with the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods
We included 392,218 European adults, aged 38 to 73 years, who were free of CKD at
recruitment between March 13, 2006, and October 1, 2010, from the UK Biobank study.
Data on sleep behaviors were collected through questionnaires at recruitment. Cox
proportional hazards regression models were used to assess the relations between the
healthy sleep score and risk of CKD.
Results
We identified 18,842 incident CKD cases after a mean follow-up of 11.1 (SD 2.2) years.
The healthy sleep score was inversely associated with the risk of CKD in a dose-dependent
manner (P for trend, <.001). Compared with the participants with a poor sleep pattern (score
of 0-1), the multivariate adjusted hazard ratio of CKD was 0.77 (95% CI, 0.71 to 0.84)
for those with the healthiest sleep pattern (score of 5). In addition, we found that
the inverse association was stronger in individuals without history of hypertension
compared with individuals with hypertension at baseline (P for interaction, .003) and in those 60 years of age or younger compared with their
older counterparts (P for interaction, <.001).
Conclusion
Our data suggest that adherence to an overall healthy sleep pattern is associated
with a lower risk of CKD, especially for individuals without history of hypertension
and those who are younger.

- PreviewAffecting nearly 700 million people globally, chronic kidney disease (CKD) contributes substantially to disability and reduced survival, with more than 1.2 million directly attributable deaths worldwide in 2017.1 With cardiovascular disease being a major and often fatal complication of CKD, mortality more than doubles when cardiovascular deaths due to impaired renal function are included. Symptom burden, reduced quality of life, and increased health care expenditures add to the burden of CKD on individuals and societies.
