Healthy Sleep Patterns, Mortality, and Life Expectancy in Adults With and Without Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
- Multivariable Cox models
Authors' conclusion
Multidimensional healthy sleep patterns are associated with lower mortality and increased life expectancy in adults, with greater absolute benefits observed in individuals with ASCVD.
