The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of sleeping habit of middle-aged and elderly men on clinical examination values in order to contribute new health information towards improved health behavior and preparations for the prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
Fifty men, aged 40-69 years who cooperated with the survey directed to the citizens of Niigata in 2007 were analysis subjects. This survey was intended as a random sampling of people who lived in Niigata city. Differences of blood test level, blood pressure, BMI into situations of health habits (sleep, diet, physical activity) were compared with Kruskal–Wallis test and Mann–Whitney’s U test. We also analyzed the relation between non-HDL-C levels and health habit factor scores using a logistic regression analysis. The correlation among the test value, health habits were confirmed by Spearman’s correlation coefficient.
Non-HDL-C showed negative correlation with the score of sleep sufficiency, sleep duration, sleep regularity (p = 0.012, p = 0.000, p = 0.016, respectively). A decrease in sleep sufficiency, short sleep duration, and irregular sleep were all associated with elevated non-HDL-C. Logistic regression analysis showed a significant difference in the sleep duration variable. This result shows that group A (non-HDL-C levels ≧150 mg/dL) tends to have lesser sleep duration than group B (non-HDL-C levels <150 mg/dL). On the other hand, a significant correlation was not found between serum lipids (T-C, HDL-C, T-C/HDL-C, TG) levels and diet score, physical activity score.
