AbstractObjectiveTo determine the association between consumption of snacks and sweetened beverages and risk of overweight among children.DesignSecondary analysis of the Young Lives cohort study in Peru.SettingTwenty sentinel sites from a total of 1818 districts available in Peru.SubjectsChildren in the younger cohort of the Young Lives study in Peru, specifically those included in the third (2009) and the fourth (2013) rounds.ResultsA total of 1813 children were evaluated at baseline; 49·2 % girls and mean age 8·0 (sd0·3) years. At baseline, 3·3 (95 % CI 2·5, 4·2) % reported daily sweetened beverage consumption, while this proportion was 3·9 (95 % CI 3·1, 4·9) % for snacks. Baseline prevalence of overweight was 22·0 (95 % CI 20·1, 23·9) %. Only 1414 children were followed for 4·0 (sd0·1) years, with an overweight incidence of 3·6 (95 % CI 3·1, 4·1) per 100 person-years. In multivariable analysis, children who consumed sweetened beverages and snacks daily had an average weight increase of 2·29 (95 % CI 0·62, 3·96) and 2·04 (95 % CI 0·48, 3·60) kg more, respectively, than those who never consumed these products, in approximately 4 years of follow-up. Moreover, there was evidence of an association between daily consumption of sweetened beverages and risk of overweight (relative risk=2·12; 95 % CI 1·05, 4·28).ConclusionsDaily consumption of sweetened beverages and snacks was associated with increased weight gainv. never consuming these products; and in the case of sweetened beverages, with higher risk of developing overweight.

Abstract Background Although a U-shaped association between sleep duration and all-cause mortality has been found in general population, its association in the elderly adults, especially in the oldest-old, is rarely explored. Methods In present cohort study, we prospectively explore the association between sleep duration and all-cause mortality among 15,092 participants enrolled in the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) from 2005 to 2019. Sleep duration and death information was collected by using structured questionnaires. Cox regression model with sleep duration as a time-varying exposure was performed to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The dose-response association between them was explored via a restricted cubic spline function. Results During an average follow-up of 4.51 (standard deviation, SD: 3.62) years, 10,768 participants died during the follow-up period. The mean (SD) age of the participants was 89.26 (11.56) years old. Compared to individuals with moderate sleep duration (7–8 hours), individuals with long sleep duration (> 8 hours) had a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality (HR: 1.13, 95%CI: 1.09–1.18), but not among individuals with short sleep duration (≤ 6 hours) (HR: 1.02, 95%CI: 0.96–1.09). Similar results were observed in subgroup analyses based on age and gender. In the dose-response analysis, a J-shaped association was observed. Conclusions Sleep duration was associated with all-cause mortality in a J-shaped pattern in the elderly population in China.

Abstract Study Objectives This study examines the cross-sectional and two-year follow-up relationships between sleep and stress and total hippocampal volume and hippocampal subfield volumes among older adults. Methods 417 adults (aged 68.8±7.3; 54% women) from the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing completed an interview, a questionnaire and multiparametric brain MRI. The relationships between self-reported sleep duration, sleep problems, perceived stress and total hippocampal volume were examined by using ordinary least squares regressions. Linear mixed-effects models were used to investigate the relationships between sleep duration, sleep problems, perceived stress, changes in these measures over two-years and hippocampal subfield volumes. Results No cross-sectional and follow-up associations between sleep and total hippocampal volume and between stress and total hippocampal volume were found. By contrast, Long sleep (≥9-10 hours / night) was associated with smaller volumes of molecular layer, hippocampal tail, presubiculum and subiculum. The co-occurrence of Short sleep (≤6 hours) and perceived stress was associated with smaller cornu ammonis 1, molecular layer, subiculum and tail. Sleep problems independently and in conjunction with higher stress, and increase in sleep problems over 2 years were associated with smaller volumes of these same subfields. Conclusion Our study highlights the importance of concurrently assessing sub-optimal sleep and stress for phenotyping individuals at risk of hippocampal subfield atrophy.

Background: The AHA Life’s Simple 7 (LS7) is a measure of cardiovascular health (CVH). Sufficient and healthy sleep has been linked to higher LS7 scores and lower cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, but sleep has not been included as a CVH metric. Hypothesis: A CVH score that includes the LS7 plus sleep metrics would be more strongly associated with CVD outcomes than the LS7 score. Methods: Participants were n=1920 diverse adults (mean age: 69.5 y) in the MESA Sleep Study who completed 7 days of wrist actigraphy, overnight in-home polysomnography, and sleep questionnaires. Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare the LS7 score and 4 new CVH scores that incorporate aspects of sleep in relation to CVD prevalence and incidence (Table). There were 95 prevalent CVD events at the Sleep Exam and 93 incident cases during a mean follow up of 4.4y. Results: The mean LS7 score was 7.3, and the means of the alternate CVH scores ranged from 7.4 to 7.8. Overall, 63% of participants slept <7h, 10% had sleep efficiency <85%, 14% and 36% reported excess daytime sleepiness and insomnia, respectively, 47% had obstructive sleep apnea, and 39% and 25% had high night-to-night variability in sleep duration and sleep onset timing. The LS7 score was not significantly associated with CVD prevalence or incidence (Table). Those in the highest vs. lowest tertile of CVH score 1, that included sleep duration, and CVH score 2, that included sleep characteristics linked to CVD in the literature, had lower odds of prevalent CVD. Those in the highest vs. lowest tertile of CVH scores 3 and 4, which included sleep characteristics linked to cardiovascular risk in MESA, had lower odds of prevalent CVD and lower risk of developing CVD. Conclusions: CVH scores that include sleep were more strongly associated with CVD prevalence and incidence than the traditional LS7 score. The incorporation of sleep as a metric of CVH, akin to other health behaviors, may improve CVD risk prediction. Findings warrant confirmation in larger samples and over longer follow-up.

Abstract Study Objectives Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Its high recurrence rate calls for prevention of first-onset MDD. Although meta-analysis suggested insomnia as the strongest modifiable risk factor, previous studies insufficiently addressed that insomnia might also occur as a residual symptom of unassessed prior depression, or as a comorbid complaint secondary to other depression risks. Methods In total, 768 participants from the Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety who were free from current and lifetime MDD were followed-up for four repeated assessments, spanning 6 years in total. We performed separate Cox proportional hazard analyses to evaluate whether baseline insomnia severity, short-sleep duration, and individual insomnia complaints prospectively predicted first-onset MDD during follow-up. The novel method of network outcome analysis (NOA) allowed us to sort out whether there is any direct predictive value of individual insomnia complaints among several other complaints that are associated with insomnia. Results Over 6-year follow-up, 141 (18.4%) were diagnosed with first-onset MDD. Insomnia severity but not sleep duration predicted first-onset MDD (HR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.07–1.15), and this was driven solely by the insomnia complaint difficulty initiating sleep (DIS) (HR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04–1.16). NOA likewise identified DIS only to directly predict first-onset MDD, independent of four other associated depression complaints. Conclusions We showed prospectively that DIS is a risk factor for first-onset MDD. Among the different other insomnia symptoms, the specific treatment of DIS might be the most sensible target to combat the global burden of depression through prevention.

Abstract Study Objectives To document the rates of persistent, remitted, and intermittent excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in a longitudinal 5-year community study of adults and to assess how changes in risk factors over time can predict improvement of daytime sleepiness (DS). Methods Participants were recruited in 2007–2008 as part of a population-based epidemiological study implemented in Canada. They completed postal assessments at baseline and at each yearly follow-up. An Epworth Sleepiness Scale total score &gt;10 indicated clinically significant EDS; a 4-point reduction between two consecutive evaluations defined DS improvement. Socio-demographic, lifestyle, health characteristics, and sleep-related measures (e.g. insomnia symptoms, sleep duration, sleep medication) were self-reported at each time point. Cox proportional-hazard models were used to predict EDS and DS remissions over 5 years. Results Among the 2167 participants, 33% (n = 714) met criteria for EDS at baseline, of whom 33% had persistent EDS, 44% intermittent EDS, and 23% remitted EDS over the follow-up. Furthermore, 61.4% of 2167 initial participants had stable DS, 27.1% sustained DS improvement and 8.5% transient improvement over the follow-up. The main predictors of EDS remission or DS improvement were normal weight, taking less hypnotics, having hypertension, increased nighttime sleep duration, and decreased insomnia, and depressive symptoms. Conclusions EDS waxes and wanes over time with frequent periods of remission and is influenced by behavioral characteristics and changes in psychological, metabolic, and nighttime sleep patterns. Targeting these predictors in future interventions is crucial to reduce DS in the general adult population.

Abstract Study Objectives Compare the degree of sleep misestimation in older adults with insomnia presenting with objectively short relative to normal sleep duration, and investigate the differential therapeutic response on sleep misestimation between the proposed sleep duration phenotypes to cognitive-behavior therapy for insomnia (CBTi). Methods Ninety-one adults (male = 43, mean age = 63.34, SD = 6.41) with sleep maintenance insomnia were classified as short sleepers (SS; &lt;6 h total sleep time [TST]) or normal sleepers (NS; ≥6 h TST) based on one night of home-based polysomnography. Participants were randomly allocated to CBTi (N = 30 SS, N = 33 NS) or to a wait-list control condition (N = 9 SS, N = 19 NS). Sleep misestimation was calculated as the difference scores of subjective (sleep diary reported) and objective (derived from actigraphy) sleep onset latency (SOL), wake after sleep onset (WASO), and TST at pre- and post-treatment, and 3-month follow-up. Results Prior to treatment, perception of SOL, WASO, and TST did not differ between patients with objectively short sleep duration relative to those with objectively normal sleep duration. Patients’ perception of WASO and TST, improved immediately following treatment and at 3-month follow-up relative to the waitlist group. These improvements did not differ significantly between those with short or normal objective sleep duration prior to treatment. Conclusions The degree of sleep misestimation is similar for older adults suffering from chronic insomnia with short or normal objective sleep duration. Irrespective of objective sleep duration prior to treatment, CBTi produces significant improvements in sleep perception. Clinical Trial Registration Number ACTRN12620000883910

This concluding chapter summarises key messages and reflects on what has been learned from running the Young Lives study. There are six key reflections from the Young Lives study. First is the value of talking to children themselves in both qualitative and survey research. Second is the value of multidisciplinary perspectives for public policy research. Third is the centrality of maintaining respectful and effective engagement with research participants. Fourth is the importance of long-term partnerships for effective research and policy engagement. Fifth is the usefulness of international comparison and the balance between this and national specificity. Finally, it is important to value the type of knowledge a study like Young Lives generates. Young Lives is a resource that can be used by future researchers to extend the boundaries of what is known about children, poverty, and human development.
