| Part I: A cross-sectional epidemiological study of sleep-related factors in Chinese over40 years old Objective: To investigate the sleep quality of people over 40 years old in Chinese community,to analyze the risk factors of stroke among people with poor sleep quality,snoring and night shift,and to explore the relationship between sleep quality,snoring symptoms,night shift and stroke.METHODS: Based on the national screening and intervention program for high-risk population of stroke in 2016,a cross-sectional survey was conducted in 31 provinces from April 2016 to May 2017,and 423,603 community permanent residents over 40 years old completed the screening program.Among them,15,016 people completed the study “ the association between sleep and stroke”,58,696 completed the snoring questionnaire,and 58,633 completed the night shift questionnaire.In this study,demographic information,medical history information and stroke risk factors were analyzed based on the questionnaire of these three groups of people.Results:1.The proportion of poor sleep quality in community population over 40 years old was 15.9%.The proportion of poor sleep quality was higher in women,old people,widowed spouse,people with low education level,people with low income,people who had less time of physical activity,people with lack of exercise,and people with poor diet(P<0.05).Compared with the group with good sleep quality,the proportion of coronary heart disease,hypertension,hyperlipidemia,diabetes,snoring,atrial fibrillation,stroke and high-risk group of stroke risk rating were higher in the group with poor sleep quality(P<0.05).2.The proportion of snoring among people over 40 years old in the community was 35.8%.Compared to the non-snoring group,the proportion of men,people with low level of education,low income,working hours,drinking,smokeing,lack of exercise,poor eating habits,high blood pressure,uncontrolled blood pressure,hyperlipidemia,diabetes,atrial fibrillation,transient ischemic attack(TIA),liver cirrhosis,renal insufficiency or high-risk group of stroke risk rating was higher(P < 0.05)in snoring group and they were more likely to have less sleep time at night,take sleeping pill at night,and have headache or dizziness in the morning(P<0.05).The body mass index(BMI),waist circumference,neck circumference,fasting blood glucose,triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low density lipoprotein(LDL)and homocysteine(Hcy)levels in snoring group were higher than the non-snoring group,and high density lipoprotein(HDL)levels were lower(P<0.05).The composition ratio of multiple plaques was higher in snoring group(P<0.05).3.The proportion of night shift of people over 40 years old in the community was5.9%.The proportion of men,people with higher education,higher income,long working hours,lack of exercise,using sleep pill,people who feel headache or dizziness in the morning,people with TIA,high risk for stroke,and high blood pressure were higher in night shift workers than non-night shift workers(P<0.05).The m RS score of night shift group was higher than the non-night shift group(P<0.05).The levels of BMI,fasting blood glucose,2h postprandial blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin,TG,TC,LDL,HDL and Hcy in night shift group were lower than the non-night shift group(P<0.05).The proportion of irregular plaque on the left side of CCA,low echo and strong echo plaque on both sides of CCA was higher in night shift group(P<0.05).(P<0.05).Conclusion:1.Women,widows and people with low education level,old age and low-income were more likely to suffer from poor sleep quality.Compared with the group with good sleep quality,the proportion of coronary heart disease,hypertension,hyperlipidemia,diabetes,snoring,atrial fibrillation,stroke and high-risk group in stroke risk rating were higher in the group with poor sleep quality.Sleep quality might be related to the risk factors of stroke.2.The proportion of snoring was higher in people over 40 years old in the community.Risk factors of stroke and uncontrolled blood pressure are higher in people with snoring who may have decreased sleep quality,and were more prone to have morning headache or dizziness.Snoring may be associated with risk factors of stroke.Snoring might be related to carotid atherosclerosis。3.Lack of sleep,disturbed circadian rhythms,use of sleep pills,lack of exercise and disturbed eating rhythms were common problems among night shift workers.The proportion of stroke risk factors in night shift group was higher than that in non-night shift group,which may be related to the risk factors of stroke.The adaptability increased after a long time of night shift,and the metabolic situation tended to be stable.The levels of BMI,pulse,fasting blood glucose,2h postprandial blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin,TG,TC,LDL,HDL and Hcy in night shift group were lower than the non-night shift group.The CCA plaques in the night shift group were higher than the non-night shift group,suggesting that the night shift might lead to the damage of CCA artery endothelium.Part two The relationship between sleep disturbance and prognosis of stroke Objective:To investigate the effects of sleep disorders on cognitive and neurological function after stroke,and other factors that affect cognitive and neurological function after stroke.METHODS: 1542 patients with first stroke(cerebral infarction,TIA and cerebral hemorrhage)admitted to Department of Neurology of Tianjin Huanhu

years after cerebral infarction included COMT-V/V genotype(OR 3.025,95%CI 1.127-8.117,P=0.028);The risk factors for cognitive impairment 8 years after cerebral infarction were COMTM genotype(OR 2.994,95%CI 1.517-5.917,P=0.002),poor sleep quality(OR 4.863,95%CI 1.826-12.953,P=0.002),nocturnal TST(>8)(OR 21.363,95%CI 5.619-81.225,P<0.001).The risk factors for dementia 8 years after cerebral infarction were COMTV/V(OR 3.167,95%CI 1.137-8.820,P=0.027).The risk factors for late onset cognitive impairment 8 years after cerebral infarction were APOE4 genotype(OR 4.844,95%CI1.270-18.479,P=0.021)and COMT-V/V(OR 3.529,95%CI 1.445-8.622,P=0.006).The risk factors of early onset cognitive impairment 8 years after cerebral infarction were APOE2(OR 0.125,95%CI 0.021-0.754,P=0.023)and nocturnal TST(5-7h)(OR0.150,95%CI 0.042-0.535,P=0.003).5.The higher the MOCA score,the better the neurological function recovery after cerebral infarction.Older patients had poor recovery of neurological function 8 years after cerebral infarction(P<0.05).Diabetic patients had poor recovery of neurological function 4 years after cerebral infarction(P<0.05).Low education level,old age,poor neurological recovery,high blood glucose or diabetes mellitus were risk factors for cognitive impairment or dementia after cerebral infarction(P<0.05).Low education level,poor neurological recovery,hyperglycemia or diabetes mellitus were risk factors for early onset cognitive impairment(P<0.05).6.Nocturnal TST(< 5h)(HR 11.828,95%CI 1.441-97.067,P=0.021),nocturnal

recovery 8 years after cerebral infarction(OR 0.485,95%CI 0.243-0.969,P=0.040).Conclusion:1.In patients with acute cerebral infarction,the TC,LDL and Apo B of APOE4 carriers were significantly higher than those of non-APOE4 carriers.The APOE4 gene is closely associated with hyperlipidemia.Compared with COMT-M carriers,COMTV/V carriers had higher blood lipids and Hcy.In patients with acute cerebral infarction,the sleep quality of APOE4 carriers was poor,nocturnal TST of APOE4 carriers was short,and the sleep quality of COMT-M carriers was poor.2.There was no significant correlation between APOE4 genotype and neurological function recovery after cerebral infarction,3 months,6 months and 4 years,but APOE4 patients had better neurological function recovery 8 years after cerebral infarction.There was no significant correlation between COMT genotype,sleep quality and neurological function recovery after cerebral infarction.Short nocturnal TST is the reason for poor recovery of neurological function after cerebral infarction in short term.3.There was no significant correlation between APOE genotype and cognitive function recovery after cerebral infarction.APOE4 was a risk factor for late onset cognitive impairment after cerebral infarction.COMT-M,poor sleep quality,and nocturnal TST were risk factors for cognitive impairment after cerebral infarction.COMT-V/V was a risk factor for dementia at 8 year after cerebral infarction 8 and was a risk factor for late onset cognitive impairment.4.The higher the Mo CA score,the better the neurological function recovery.Low education level,older age,poor neurological recovery,hyperglycemia or diabetes were risk factors for cognitive impairment after cerebral infarction.Low education,poor neurological recovery,hyperglycemia or diabetes were risk factors for early onset cognitive impairment.5.Cerebral infarction patients with long nocturnal TST,short nocturnal TST,old age,high total cholesterol,and high homocysteine had higher risk of all-cause death.Patients with higher triglycerides had lower risk of all-cause death and had better neurological recovery 8 years after cerebral infarction. |
