Key result
Low neighborhood social cohesion was associated with increased odds of short sleep duration in Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (OR 1.53; 95% CI 1.10-2.13).

Is neighborhood social cohesion associated with sleep duration and quality in Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adults?
Odds Ratio: 1.53 (95% CI 1.1–2.13)
Low neighborhood social cohesion is associated with higher odds of short sleep duration among Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.
Higher neighborhood cohesion may relate to sleep in NHPIs; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective studies before clinical consideration.
Study Objective: Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) have the lowest attainment of healthy sleep duration among all racial and ethnic groups in the United States. We examined associations of neighborhood social cohesion with sleep duration and quality. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of 2464 adults in the NHPI National Health Interview Survey (2014). Neighborhood social cohesion was categorized as a continuous and categorical variable into low (<12), medium (12-14), and high (>15) according to tertiles of the distribution of responses. We used multinomial logistic regression to examine the adjusted odds ratio of short and long sleep duration relative to intermediate sleep duration. We used binary logistic regression for dichotomous sleep quality outcomes. Sleep outcomes were modeled as categorical variables. Results: Forty percent of the cohort reported short (<7 hours) sleep duration and only 4% reported long (>9 hours) duration. Mean (SE, range) social cohesion score was 12.4 units (0.11, 4-16) and 23% reported low social cohesion. In multivariable models, each 1 SD decrease in neighborhood social cohesion score was associated with higher odds of short sleep duration (odds ratio [OR]: 1.14, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02, 1.29). Additionally, low social cohesion was associated with increased odds of short sleep duration (OR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.10, 2.13). No associations between neighborhood social cohesion and having trouble falling or staying asleep and feeling well rested were found. Conclusion: Low neighborhood social cohesion is associated with short sleep duration in NHPIs.

Young et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Sleep duration and quality (n=2,464). Low neighborhood social cohesion vs. Medium or high neighborhood social cohesion was evaluated on Short sleep duration (<7 hours) (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.10-2.13). Low neighborhood social cohesion was associated with increased odds of short sleep duration in Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (OR 1.53; 95% CI 1.10-2.13).
