Healthy Sleep Patterns, Mortality, and Life Expectancy in Adults With and Without Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

This illustration summarizes the associations between multidimensional healthy sleep patterns and subsequent mortality and life expectancy among 148,622 U.S. adults. Healthy sleep was associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality in both those with and without ASCVD. At age 45, healthy sleepers were estimated to live 3.0 additional years with ASCVD and 1.5 additional years without ASCVD compared with poor sleepers. ASCVD = atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
