Do short sleep duration and sleep complaints increase the risk of incident myocardial infarction in middle-aged men and women?
Short sleep duration and sleep maintenance difficulties may be modest sex-specific risk factors for incident myocardial infarction in middle-aged women.
Modest associations between short sleep duration and difficulties maintaining sleep and incident MI were seen in middle-aged women but not men from the general population.
Meisinger et al. (2007) studied this question.
