摘要

Background

Menopausal women undergo substantial physiological changes that can impact their overall health.

Objectives

We examined relationships between circadian rest-activity rhythms (CRARs) and multimorbidity progression in this population.

Methods

We used UK Biobank data, involving 10,138 participants, who were initially free of chronic conditions. We primarily focused on the relative amplitude (RA) of CRARs, tracking incident first chronic conditions (FCC), multimorbidity, and all-cause mortality. Multimorbidity was indicated by the presence of any 2/35 chronic conditions during the follow-up period. We used a multi-state model to assess the RA impact on the multimorbidity progression trajectory, encompassing transition from health to an FCC, to consequent multimorbidity, and ultimately to mortality, in parallel with sensitivity analyses to ensure results stability and reliability.

Results

During a mean 8.13-year follow-up period, we identified 855 incident multimorbidity cases and recorded 88 deaths. In a multi-state model, a lower RA was associated with an increased risk of transition from health to FCC onset [hazard ratio (HR): 1.18, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07–1.31] and also from an FCC to multimorbidity development (HR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.12–1.61), even after adjusting for several confounding factors.

Conclusions

Among menopausal women, circadian rhythm disturbance increased the risk of transitioning from health to a single chronic condition, as well as transitioning from a single chronic condition to multimorbidity.
