This research seeks to assess the connection between healthy sleep patterns and the occurrence of kidney stone disease (KSD) by analyzing data obtained from a large-scale cohort study.
We examined 313,870 initial participants without KSD from the UK Biobank. Five healthy sleep factors were assessed: no frequent excessive daytime sleepiness, early chronotype, no snoring, sleeping 7-8 h daily, and never or rarely experiencing insomnia at baseline. A healthy sleep score between 0 and 5 was assigned to participants according to these criteria. We utilized Cox proportional hazards models to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) between a healthy sleep score and the occurrence of KSD.
During the follow-up period, 3818 new cases of KSD were recorded. After comprehensive adjustments, every 1-point rise in the healthy sleep score was associated with an HR of 0.93 (95 % CI: 0.90-0.96). Additionally, individuals with a healthy sleep score of 5 had a 20 % lower risk of KSD compared to those with scores between 0 and 2.
Our study results indicate that adhering to a healthy sleep pattern can reduce the risk of KSD.
