A Cross-Sectional Study on the Association Between Sleep Quality and Risk Factors Among Coronary Heart Disease Patients
摘要
Poor sleep quality is linked to numerous adverse health outcomes such as hypertension, chronic kidney disease, poor dietary habits, and insufficient physical activity. However, adopting a combination of healthy lifestyle practices is aimed at reducing disease risk and lowering overall mortality rates.
Aim and objectivesTo identify the incidence of poor sleepers among newly diagnosed coronary heart disease (CHD) patients and to determine the relationship between sleep quality and risk factors in newly diagnosed CHD patients.
Materials and methodsA seven-month prospective cross-sectional study was performed with 150 subjects who met the inclusion criteria. Socio-demographic details and relevant information, including CHD risk factors, were collected using a well-designed data collection form. The study employed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire to evaluate the sleep quality of the participants.
ResultsAmong the total subjects enrolled in the present study, 109 (72.7%) had poor quality of sleep, while 41 (27.3%) had good sleep quality. Physical activity status, frequency of physical activity, type of physical activity, and medical history demonstrated statistical significance with sleep quality, as indicated by a p-value of less than 0.05.
ConclusionThe present study highlights the incidence of poor sleepers among newly diagnosed CHD patients. Additionally, the study aims to provide valuable insights into the relationship between sleep quality and risk factors among CHD patients to enhance their understanding and behavior regarding the disease.
