Key result
Short sleep duration and depression independently increased the risk of cardiovascular disease (RR 1.02 and RR 1.05, respectively), with a significant multiplicative interaction observed in patients with diabetes.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate the interaction of sleep duration and depression on the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Does short sleep duration and depression increase the risk of incident cardiovascular disease in middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults?

Does short sleep duration and depression increase the risk of incident cardiovascular disease in middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults?
Relative Risk: 1.02 (95% CI 1.01–1.03)
p-value: p=0.001
Short sleep duration and depression independently increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, with a synergistic effect observed in patients with diabetes.
Short sleep and depression may elevate CVD risk via interaction in diabetes; hypothesis-generating and requires trials before practice change.
BACKGROUND: To assess the interaction of sleep duration and depression on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS: A total of 13,488 eligible participants were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study eventually. Baseline characteristics were extracted from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) database, including age, sex, diabetes, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), blood glucose (GLU), glycosylated hemoglobin (GHB) etc. Univariate and multivariate negative binomial regression models were carried out to assess the statistical correlation of sleep duration and depression on CVD separately. Additionally, multivariate negative binomial regression model was used to estimate the interaction of sleep duration and depression on CVD risk. RESULTS: After adjusting for age, sex, educational background, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, the use of hypnotics, disability, nap, drinking, deposit, sleep disturbance, HDL, triglyceride, total cholesterol, GLU and GHB, the risk of CVD in participants with the short sleep duration was increased in comparison with the normal sleep duration [relative risk (RR)=1.02, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.01-1.03]; compared to the participants with non-depression, participants suffered from depression had an increased risk of CVD (RR=1.05, 95%CI:1.04-1.06). Additionally, the result also suggested that the interaction between short sleep duration and depression on the risk of CVD was statistically significant in these patients with diabetes and was a multiplicative interaction. CONCLUSION: An interaction between short sleep duration and depression in relation to an increased risk of CVD among Chinese middle-aged and elderly individuals was noticed, which may provide a reference that people with diabetes should focus on their sleep duration and the occurrence of depression, and coexisting short sleep duration and depression may expose them to a higher risk of CVD.

Jin et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular disease (n=13,488). Short sleep duration (<6 hours) vs. Normal sleep duration (6-8 hours) was evaluated on Risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) (RR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01-1.03, p=0.001). Short sleep duration and depression independently increased the risk of cardiovascular disease (RR 1.02 and RR 1.05, respectively), with a significant multiplicative interaction observed in patients with diabetes.
