Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sleep problems are prevalent. However, the impact of sleep patterns on digestive diseases remains uncertain. Moreover, the interaction between sleep patterns and genetic predisposition with digestive diseases has not been comprehensively explored.</p>
METHODS: Four hundred ten thousand five hundred eighty-six participants from UK Biobank with complete sleep information were included in the analysis. Sleep patterns were measured by sleep scores as the primary exposure, based on five healthy sleep behaviors. Individual sleep behaviors were secondary exposures. Genetic risk of the digestive diseases was characterized by polygenic risk score. Primary outcome was incidence of 16 digestive diseases.</p>
RESULTS: Healthy sleep scores showed dose-response associations with reduced risks of digestive diseases. Compared to participants scoring 0-1, those scoring 5 showed a 28% reduced risk of any digestive disease, including a 50% decrease in irritable bowel syndrome, 37% in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, 35% in peptic ulcer, 34% in dyspepsia, 32% in gastroesophageal reflux disease, 28% in constipation, 25% in diverticulosis, 24% in severe liver disease, and 18% in gallbladder disease, whereas no correlation was observed with inflammatory bowel disease and pancreatic disease. Participants with poor sleep and high genetic risk exhibited approximately a 60% increase in the risk of digestive diseases. A healthy sleep pattern is linked to lower digestive disease risk in participants of all genetic risk levels.</p>
CONCLUSIONS: In this large population-based cohort, a healthy sleep pattern was associated with a reduced risk of digestive diseases, regardless of genetic susceptibility. The authors' findings underscore the potential impact of healthy sleep traits in mitigating the risk of digestive diseases.</p>
