Subjective/Self-reported Sleep Quality
Sunbul et al. (56), 2014 Self-Report questionnaire baPWV PWV cm/sec.: [Sleep Deprivation (SD) vs Regular Sleep (RS)]:
5.33 ± 0.46 vs 5.15 ± 0.26; p = 0.001
Augmentation index (AIx)s: [SD vs RS ]:
20.5 ± 11.9 vs 26.0 ± 8.4%; p = 0.008
Turkish population.
Kim et al, 2015 (17) Self-Report (PSQI) baPWV PWV cm/sec: [Good vs. Poor sleep quality] 95% CI Adjb:
Men: 0.0 (Ref.) vs. 7.6 (1.2 to 13.9)
Women: 0.0 (Ref.) vs. 2.7 (−5.3 to 10.7)
Poor subjective sleep quality was associated with increase in PWV in men only in adjusted model.
Osonoi et al, 2015 (68) Self-Report (PSQI) baPWV PWV cm/s: [Among sleep quality groups]
(95% CI) Adj o
Good: 1523 (1500, 1547)
Average: 1570 (1533, 1606)
Poor: 1604 (1547, 1661); p < 0.05
Poor sleep quality associated with higher PWV
Yamaki et al. 2015 Self-Report (PSQI) ABI PSQI sleep quality score and ABI (rho = −0.31); p < 0.005 Lower the ABI, more the arterial stiffness.
Objective Sleep Quality
Not even a single study have described the association of objective sleep Quality with Arterial Stiffness.
