Early detection and management of sleep disorders could reduce asthma incidence, according to a large-scale prospective study that included nearly half a million participants. The studyThe population-attributable risk analysis indicated that 19% of asthma cases could be prevented through improving sleep traits. The investigators took into consideration polygenic risk scores for asthma and comprehensive sleep scores encompassing five sleep traits.
Genetic factors also contribute to asthma risk, but highly variable heritability suggests that the nongenetic exposures play an important role."However, whether healthy non-genetic exposure could decrease the risk of asthma and mitigate the adverse effect of genetic risk remains largely unknown," the authors state. They hypothesize that healthier sleep could decrease future asthma risk and mitigate the hazards of genetic effects.
Comprehensive sleep scores, which ranged from 0 to 5, were constructed on the basis of self-reported sleep traits. Higher scores represented healthier sleep patterns. A healthy sleep pattern was defined as early chronotype; getting from 7–9 hours of sleep every night; never or rare insomnia; no snoring; and no frequent daytime sleepiness.
Risk was twofold higher in the presence of a combination of poor sleep and high genetic susceptibility . Conversely, a healthy sleep pattern was associated with a lower risk of asthma in the low , intermediate , and high genetic susceptibility groups . A population-attributable risk analysis indicated that improving these sleep traits would prevent 19% of asthma cases.
