Regulating Effect of Weekend Catch-up Sleep on Association of Hepatic Steatosis with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Background: Both insufficient and excessive catch-up sleep durations have been implicated in influencing the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and metabolic disorders. However, the specific impact of weekend catch-up sleep (WCS) on the relationship between hepatic steatosis (HS) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains unclear. Aims: This cross-sectional study aims to examine the potential regulatory effect of WCS on the association between controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and ASCVD. Methods: Weighted logistic regression analyses were employed to evaluate the associations of CAP and WCS with ASCVD, expressed in terms of odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The study also explored the effect of WCS on the CAP-ASCVD relationship and assessed the potential regulatory role of WCS in subgroups based on age, gender, body mass index, and obesity status. Results: < 0.05). Conclusion: A WCS duration of ≥ 1 hour may be associated with an increased ASCVD risk in adults with HS aged ≥ 40 years. However, further research is necessary to clarify the causal relationships between WCS, HS, and ASCVD.
