Key result
Chronic insomnia is linked to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality across review data.
Why the study?
Poor quality and quantity of sleep, including chronic insomnia, are increasingly related to cardiovascular risk factors, but their influence as a modifiable risk factor requires clarification.
Does chronic insomnia affect the risk of cardiovascular diseases in adults?
Systematic Review
Does chronic insomnia affect the risk of cardiovascular diseases in adults?
Chronic insomnia is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, suggesting that its effective treatment could serve as a preventive measure to reduce cardiovascular incidence, mortality, and morbidity.
Supports insomnia assessment in CV risk evaluation; confirms and extends its role as modifiable factor in systematic evidence.
Introduction. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) will be the cause of 24.2 million deaths in the world in 2030 and the poor quality and quantity of people's sleep are increasingly related to their risk factors, including insomnia. Objective. The main objective of this research work was to know the influence of chronic insomnia as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in adults. Methodology. The present study is based on an integrative review of the literature of articles published between the years 2012-2024, obtained from the journal portal Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) and the bibliographic databases SCOPUS, Web of Science (WOS), Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PubMed), ProQuest and Google Scholar, results that were organized according to the PRISMA methodology. Results. 11 articles were finally included, derived from primary research works, which describe the relationship and impact of chronic insomnia with cardiovascular diseases, their mortality and morbidity. Conclusions. Chronic insomnia is currently established as a modifiable cardiovascular risk factor; its effective treatment will in the future be a preventive measure that will reduce the incidence, mortality and morbidity rates of different cardiovascular diseases

González et al. (2024) conducted a systematic review in Cardiovascular diseases. Chronic insomnia was evaluated on Cardiovascular disease incidence, mortality, and morbidity. An integrative review of 11 articles established chronic insomnia as a modifiable cardiovascular risk factor linked to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
