  • Sleep Problems and Depression Among 237 023 Community
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Sleep problems and depression among 237 023 community- dwelling adults in 46 low- and Received: 23 July 2018 Accepted: 31 July 2019 middle-income countries Published: xx xx xxxx Andrew Stickley 1,2, Mall Leinsalu1,3, Jordan E. DeVylder4, Yosuke Inoue 5 & Ai Koyanagi 6,7 Sleep problems are considered a core symptom of depression. However, there is little information about the comorbidity of sleep problems and depression in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and whether sleep problems with depression confer additional risk for decrements in health compared to sleep problems alone. This study thus examined the association between sleep problems and depression and whether sleep problems with depression are associated with an increased risk for poorer health in 46 LMICs. Cross-sectional, community-based data from 237 023 adults aged ≥18 years from the World Health Survey (WHS) 2002–2004 were analyzed. Information on sleep problems (severe/ extreme) and International Classifcation of Diseases 10th Revision depression/depression subtypes was collected. Multivariable logistic (binary and multinomial) and linear regression analyses were performed. Sleep problems were associated with subsyndromal depression (odds ratio [OR]: 2.23, 95% confdence interval [CI]: 1.84–2.70), brief depressive episode (OR = 2.48, 95% CI = 2.09–2.95) and depressive episode (OR = 3.61, 95% CI = 3.24–4.03). Sleep problems with depression (vs. sleep problems alone) conferred additional risk for anxiety, perceived stress and decrements in health in the domains of mobility, self-care, pain, cognition, and interpersonal activities. Clinicians should be aware that the co- occurrence of sleep problems and depression is associated with a variety of adverse health outcomes in LMICs.

  • Measures of Sleep Duration and Quality in Sri Lanka Aaron
    Measures of Sleep Duration and Quality in Sri Lanka Aaron Schokman Faculty of Medicine The University of Sydney A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy 1 This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge; the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Signature: Name: Aaron Shane Schokman 2 Abstract A link between poor sleep and abnormal health outcomes has been established.The majority of this research is conducted in Western, high-income country (HIC) settings which warrants the question of how relevant the findings and the derived consensus statements are to low-middle income countries (LMICs). Sleep duration and quality are known to be affected by cultural, social, environmental and geographical influences which vary significantly between LMIC and their HIC counterparts. This thesis provides a thorough examination of objective and subjective measurements of sleep in a LMIC setting. Objective and subjective measures of sleep were obtained as part of an actigraphic sub-study nested within the Colombo twin and singleton study, a cohort study of twins and singletons randomly selected from Colombo, Sri Lanka. Results comparing actigraphic and self-reported sleep duration indicated that Sri Lankans have short sleep duration; averaging 6.4h (SD 1.5) self-reported and 6.0h (SD 0.9) actigraphically.

  • Epidemiological Overview of Sleep Disorders in the General Population
    online © ML Comm pISSN 2093-9175 / eISSN 2233-8853 REVIEW ARTICLE Sleep Med Res 2011;2:1-9 e pidemiological Overview of sleep Disorders in the General Population Maurice M. Ohayon, MD, DSc, PhD Stanford Sleep Epidemiology Research Center, School of Medicine, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA There are several hundred of epidemiological studies assessing different sleep complaints and disorders in the general population. This ar- ticle summarizes the main findings of these studies and underlines some of the aspects that still need to be investigated. Insomnia complaint is one of the most studied sleep disturbances. Nearly one third of the general population complains of insomnia but a diagnosis is warranted in only 6% to 15% of the population. Excessive sleepiness is also another frequent complaint. However, its definition and method of assess- ment are so diverse that it is difficult to have a clear estimate of its prevalence in the general population: prevalence rates are ranging between 4% and 26%. Narcolepsy is a rare disorder with a prevalence averaging 0.04% in the general population. Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, often associated with insomnia or excessive sleepiness, is found in approximately 2% to 4% of the general population and has a higher prev- alence in men than in women. Restless legs syndrome (RLS), depending on how it was assessed, varies from a low 1% in Asian countries to a high 19% in Northern European countries. RLS is higher in women and increases with age. Unfortunately, despite the high prevalence, sleep disorders remain poorly identified; less than 20% of individuals with insomnia are correctly diagnosed and treated.
