Xia WH, Yang CL. Self-reported sleep characteristics are linked to type 2 diabetes in middle-aged and elderly individuals: a cross-sectional study based on NHANES. Ir J Med Sci 2023; 192:2769-2776. [PMID: 36976264 DOI: 10.1007/s11845-023-03352-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to evaluate the link between sleep characteristics and type 2 diabetes of middle-aged and elderly individuals. METHODS Twenty thousand four hundred ninety-seven individuals enrolled in National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) form periods of 2005-2008 were included in this study, and 3965 individuals aged 45 years and older with complete data were detected. Variables related to sleep characteristics were analyzed by univariate analysis to identify the risk factors of type 2 diabetes, the logistic regression model was used to test for the tendency across the sections of sleep duration, and the link between sleep duration and risk of type 2 diabetes was manifested as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Six hundred ninety-four individuals with type 2 diabetes were identified and enrolled in the type 2 diabetes group, while the remaining individuals (n = 3271) were enrolled in the non-type 2 diabetes group. Individuals in the type 2 diabetes group (63.9 ± 10.2) were older than those in the non-type 2 diabetes group (61.2 ± 11.5, P < 0.001). Factors of taking longer time to fall asleep (P < 0.001), sleeping less (≤ 4 h) or more (≥ 9 h) (P < 0.001), having trouble in falling asleep (P = 0.001), frequent snoring (P < 0.001), frequent sleep apnea (P < 0.001), frequent nighttime awakenings (P = 0.004), and frequent excessive daytime sleepiness (P < 0.001) were linked to the risk of type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSION Our study revealed that sleep characteristics were closely linked to type 2 diabetes in middle-aged and elderly individuals, and a longer sleep duration might have protective effects against type 2 diabetes, but it should be constrained within 9 h/night.

Baroreflex sensitivity during rest and pressor challenges in obstructive sleep apnea patients with and without CPAP. Sleep Med 2022; 97:73-81. [PMID: 35728308 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2022.05.846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2021] [Revised: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases sympathetic vasoconstrictor drive and reduces baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), the degree to which blood pressure changes modify cardiac output. Whether nighttime continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) corrects BRS in the awake state in OSA remains unclear. We assessed spontaneous BRS using non-invasive continuous BP and ECG recordings at rest and during handgrip and Valsalva challenges, maneuvers that increase vasoconstrictor drive with progressively higher BP, in untreated OSA (unOSA), CPAP-treated OSA (cpOSA) and healthy (CON) participants. METHODS In a cross-sectional study of 104 participants, 34 unOSA (age mean±std, 50.6±14.1years; Respiratory Event Index [REI] 21.0±15.3 events/hour; 22male), 31 cpOSA (49.6±14.5years; REI 23.0±14.2 events/hour; 22male; self-report 4+hours/night,5+days/week,6months), and 39 CON (42.2±15.0years; 17male), we calculated BRS at rest and during handgrip and Valsalva. Additionally, we correlated BP variability (BPV) with BRS during these protocols. RESULTS BRS in unOSA, cpOSA and CON was, respectively (mean±sdv in ms/mmHg), at rest: 14.8±11.8, 15.8±17.0, 16.1±11.3; during handgrip 13.3±7.6, 12.7±8.4, 16.4±8.7; and during Valsalva 12.7±8.0, 11.5±6.6, 15.1±8.9. BRS was lower in cpOSA than CON for handgrip (p=0.04) and Valsalva (p=0.03). BRS was negatively correlated with BPV in unOSA during Valsalva and handgrip for cpOSA, both R=-0.4 (p=0.02). BRS was negatively correlated with OSA severity (levels: none, mild, moderate, severe) at R=-0.2 (p=0.04,n=104). CONCLUSIONS As expected, BRS was lower and BPV higher in OSA during the pressor challenges, and disease severity negatively correlated with BRS. In this cross-sectional study, both CPAP-treated (self-reported) and untreated OSA showed reduced BRS, leaving open whether within-person CPAP improves BRS.

Association between sleep quality, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and sleep-disordered breathing in pregnant women with and without obesity: An observational cross-sectional study. J Obstet Gynaecol Res 2022; 48:2774-2789. [PMID: 35920333 DOI: 10.1111/jog.15376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2021] [Revised: 07/09/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIM To elucidate whether pregnancy and obesity are associated with poor sleep quality, and to investigate if sleep quality is associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in pregnant women with obesity. METHODS This observational cross-sectional study examined 15 obese pregnant women (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 ) (p-Ob group), 15 nonobese pregnant women (p-nOb group), and 30 nonobese nonpregnant women (n-Pr group), using home recording devices to monitor sleep-disordered breathing (SDB): respiratory disturbance index, oxygen saturation, and sleep stage and quality. These variables were compared among the groups. Moreover, obese women with and without hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were compared. RESULTS Significant differences in respiratory disturbance index (median: 10.3 [p-Ob], 7.1 [p-nOb], 3.5 [n-Pr]) and oxygen saturation (95.1%, 96.5%, and 96.6%) were observed among the groups. Seven participants in the p-Ob group experienced hypertensive disorders of pregnancy with SDB before or after sleep examination. Particularly, those who developed hypertensive disorders of pregnancy before sleep examination showed a lower delta power throughout the night than those without this condition. CONCLUSION Pregnant women had poor sleep quality; those with obesity had higher frequency of SDB with worsened respiratory conditions that might cause complications. Our findings suggest that the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in some obese pregnant women might be associated with insufficient delta power. Focusing on delta power may reflect subtle changes in sleep quality that occur in pregnant women. Future longitudinal studies with larger sample sizes are required to confirm these findings and investigate causality.

Abstract
This virtual workshop was convened by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, in partnership with the Office of Strategic Coordination of the Office of the National Institutes of Health Director, and held September 2 to 3, 2020. The intent was to assemble a multidisciplinary group of experts in basic, translational, and clinical research in neuroscience and cardiopulmonary disorders to identify knowledge gaps, guide future research efforts, and foster multidisciplinary collaborations pertaining to autonomic neural mechanisms of cardiopulmonary regulation. The group critically evaluated the current state of knowledge of the roles that the autonomic nervous system plays in regulation of cardiopulmonary function in health and in pathophysiology of arrhythmias, heart failure, sleep and circadian dysfunction, and breathing disorders. Opportunities to leverage the Common Fund's SPARC (Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions) program were characterized as related to nonpharmacologic neuromodulation and device-based therapies. Common themes discussed include knowledge gaps, research priorities, and approaches to develop novel predictive markers of autonomic dysfunction. Approaches to precisely target neural pathophysiological mechanisms to herald new therapies for arrhythmias, heart failure, sleep and circadian rhythm physiology, and breathing disorders were also detailed.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients show impaired autonomic regulation, perhaps related to functional reorganization of the insula, which in healthy individuals shows sex-specific anterior and right dominance during sympathetic activation. We examined insular organization of responses to a Valsalva maneuver in OSA with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). METHODS We studied 43 newly diagnosed OSA (age mean ± SD: 46.8 ± 8.7 years; apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ± SD: 32.1 ± 20.1 events/hour; 34 males) and 63 healthy (47.2 ± 8.8 years; 40 males) participants. Participants performed four 18-second Valsalva maneuvers (1-minute intervals, pressure ≥ 30 mmHg) during scanning. fMRI time trends from five insular gyri-anterior short (ASG); mid short (MSG); posterior short (PSG); anterior long (ALG); and posterior long (PLG)-were assessed for within-group responses and between-group differences with repeated measures ANOVA (p < 0.05); age and resting heart rate (HR) influences were also assessed. RESULTS Right and anterior fMRI signal dominance appeared in OSA and controls, with no between-group differences. Separation by sex revealed group differences. Left ASG anterior signal dominance was lower in OSA versus control males. Left ASG and ALG anterior dominance was higher in OSA versus control females. In all right gyri, only OSA females showed greater anterior dominance than controls. Right dominance was apparent in PSG and ALG in all groups; females showed right dominance in MSG and PLG. OSA males did not show PLG right dominance. Responses were influenced substantially by HR but modestly by age. CONCLUSIONS Anterior and right insular fMRI dominance appears similar in OSA versus control participants during the sympathetic phase of the Valsalva maneuver. OSA and control similarities were present in just males, but not necessarily females, which may reflect sex-specific neural injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sympathetic activation is a primary mechanism mediating increased blood pressure (BP) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the relationships between overweight/obesity, sympathetic activation and BP in OSA are not well understood. We hypothesized that increased sympathetic drive is associated with increased BP in normal weight, but not in overweight/obese males with OSA. We therefore examined the effects of body mass index (BMI) on the association between sympathetic activation and BP in males with OSA. METHODS We studied 115 males with OSA recruited consecutively from clinic. Twenty-four-hour urinary norepinephrine was used to assess sympathetic activation. Blood pressure was measured both in the evening and in the morning. Hypertension was defined based on either BP measurements or an existing diagnosis. Linear and logistic regressions were conducted to examine the associations between sympathetic activation and both BP and risk of hypertension. RESULTS We found 24-hour urinary norepinephrine levels were associated with systolic and diastolic BP (SBP, β=0.157, p=0.082; DBP, β=0.212, p=0.023) and mean arterial pressure (MAP, β=0.198, p=0.032) after adjusting for confounders. Interestingly, these associations were modified by overweight/obesity. After adjusting for confounders, increased 24-hour urinary norepinephrine levels were significantly associated with elevated SBP (β=0.454, p=0.012), DBP (β=0.399, p=0.041), and MAP (β=0.432, p=0.023) in normal weight, but not in overweight/obese patients (all p>0.2). Similar findings were observed in the associations between 24-hour urinary norepinephrine levels and hypertension. CONCLUSION Sympathetic activation is associated with elevated BP in normal weight but not in overweight/obese males with OSA, suggesting that BMI may moderate the association between sympathetic activation and BP in males with OSA.

Abstract
The majority of individuals over an age of 60 have hypertension. Elevated blood pressure and older age are associated with very similar changes in brain structure and function. We review the parallel brain changes associated with increasing age and blood pressure. This review focuses on joint associations of aging and elevated blood pressure with neuropsychological function, regional cerebral blood flow responses to cognitive and metabolic challenges, white matter disruptions, grey matter volume, cortical thinning, and neurovascular coupling. Treatment of hypertension ameliorates many of these changes but fails to reverse them. Treatment of hypertension itself appears more successful with better initial brain function. We show evidence that sympathetic and renal influences known to increase blood pressure also impact brain integrity. Possible central mechanisms contributing to the course of hypertension and aging are then suggested. An emphasis is placed on psychologically relevant factors: stress, cardiovascular reactions to stress, and diet/obesity. The contribution of some of these factors to biological aging remains unclear and may provide a starting point for defining the independent and interacting effects of aging and increasing blood pressure on the brain.

Abstract
The brain's relationship to essential hypertension is primarily understood to be that of an end-organ, damaged late in life by stroke or dementia. Emerging evidence, however, shows that heightened blood pressure (BP) early in life and prior to traditionally defined hypertension, relates to altered brain structure, cerebrovascular function, and cognitive processing. Deficits in cognitive function, cerebral blood flow responsivity, volumes of brain areas, and white matter integrity all relate to increased but prehypertensive levels of BP. Such relationships may be observed as early as childhood. In this review, we consider the basis of these relationships by examining the emergence of putative causative factors for hypertension that would impact or involve brain function/structure, e.g., sympathetic nervous system activation and related endocrine and inflammatory activation. Currently, however, available evidence is not sufficient to fully explain the specific pattern of brain deficits related to heightened BP. Despite this uncertainty, the evidence reviewed suggests the value that early intervention may have, not only for reducing BP, but also for maintaining brain function.

Chronic intermittent hypoxia-mediated renal sympathetic nerve activation in hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Sci Rep 2018; 8:17926. [PMID: 30560943 PMCID: PMC6298987 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-36159-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2018] [Accepted: 11/14/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
In sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is believed to activate the sympathetic nerve system, and is thus involved in cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, since patients with SAS are often already obese, and have diabetes and/or hypertension (HT), the effects of CIH alone on sympathetic nerve activation and its impacts on CVD are largely unknown. We, therefore, examined the effects of CIH on sympathetic nerve activation in non-obese mice to determine whether renal sympathetic nerve denervation (RD) could ameliorate CIH-mediated cardiovascular effects. Male C57BL/6 (WT) mice were exposed to normal (FiO2 21%) or CIH (10% O2, 12 times/h, 8 h/day) conditions for 4 weeks with or without RD treatment. Increased urinary norepinephrine (NE), 8-OHdG, and angiotensinogen levels and elevated serum asymmetric dimethyl arginine levels were observed in the CIH model. Concomitant with these changes, blood pressure levels were significantly elevated by CIH treatment. However, these deleterious effects by CIH were completely blocked by RD treatment. The present study demonstrated that CIH-mediated renal sympathetic nerve activation is involved in increased systemic oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and renin-angiotensin system activation, thereby contributing to the development of HT and CVD, thus could be an important therapeutic target in patients with SAS.

Abstract
Numerous studies have observed a relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension, but the effects of metabolic syndrome on hypertension, and their interaction with obstructive sleep apnea, remain unclear. For this study, a total of 2972 patients were recruited from the Shanghai Sleep Health Study. Data from overnight polysomnography parameters, serum lipids, fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, and anthropometric measurements were collected. The authors then explored the independent associations and multiplicative and additive interactions of predictors of metabolic syndrome with hypertension. A positive dose-response relationship was observed between systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure and quartiles of fasting glucose, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, body mass index, and apnea-hypopnea index. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis showed that, in men, a high triglyceride level, hyperglycemia, and overweight status (and their interaction effect on obstructive sleep apnea) were associated with hypertension. Being overweight and hyperglycemic may markedly augment the adverse effect of obstructive sleep apnea on hypertension in men. Therefore, hypertension therapy should be individualized based on the specific comorbidities of each patient.

Abstract
Recent studies indicate that erythropoietin (EPO) is present in many areas of the brain and is active in the restoration of impaired neurons. In this study, we examined the presence of EPO and its role in bulbospinal neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM). Hypoxia is often accompanied by a high blood pressure (BP). We hypothesized that EPO is produced in response to hypoxia in RVLM neurons and then activates them. To investigate whether RVLM neurons are sensitive to EPO, we examined the changes in the membrane potentials (MPs) of bulbospinal RVLM neurons using the whole cell patch-clamp technique during superfusion with EPO. A brainstem-spinal cord preparation was used for the experiments. EPO depolarized the RVLM neurons, and soluble erythropoietin receptor (SEPOR), an antagonist of EPO, hyperpolarized them. Furthermore, hypoxia-depolarized RVLM neurons were significantly hyperpolarized by SEPOR. In histological examinations, the EPO-depolarized RVLM neurons showed the presence of EPO receptor (EPOR). The RVLM neurons that possessed EPORs showed the presence of EPO and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-2α. We also examined the levels of HIF-2α and EPO messenger RNA (mRNA) in the ventral sites of the medullas (containing RVLM areas) in response to hypoxia. The levels of HIF-2α and EPO mRNA in the hypoxia group were significantly greater than those in the control group. These results suggest that EPO is produced in response to hypoxia in RVLM neurons and causes a high BP via the stimulation of those neurons. EPO may be one of the neurotransmitters produced by RVLM neurons during hypoxia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest survivors may have disabilities due to hypoxic brain injury. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea are exposed to intermittent hypoxemia that may lead to ischemic preconditioning. We have hypothesized that patients with obstructive sleep apnea have better neurological outcomes following a cardiac arrest due to preconditioning of the brain. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed all the survivors of in-hospital cardiac arrest from January 2006 to September 2016. Patients with confirmed or suspected obstructive sleep apnea were selected for further analysis and those without were used as comparison. Primary outcome was neurological functionality on hospital discharge by the Cerebral Performance Category. RESULTS A total of 739 patients had cardiac arrest within the study period. The immediate mortality rate was 59% (N=43) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and 94% (N=623) in those without (p<0.001). Approximately 10% (N=73) were discharged alive and these were selected for further analysis. Patients without obstructive sleep apnea had more frequently "Poor" outcomes compared to those with obstructive sleep apnea (OR 2.91; 95% CI, 1.11-7.66; p=0.03). After adjusting in a multivariate analysis, obstructive sleep apnea was "protective" of "Poor" neurological outcomes: adjusted OR 0.21; 95% CI, 0.06-0.64; p=0.01. CONCLUSION Patients with obstructive sleep apnea had better unadjusted survival rates, and favorable adjusted neurological outcomes at discharge compared to those without obstructive sleep apnea. These results suggest that obstructive sleep apnea patients may tolerate better acute brain ischemia due to preconditioning.

Abstract
Reverse or inverted dipping (ie, the phenomenon characterized by higher nighttime compared with daytime blood pressure values) is an alteration of circadian blood pressure rhythm frequently documented in hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and sleep apnea syndrome, and generally regarded as a harmful condition. Available literature on the clinical and prognostic implications of reverse dipping is scanty. The present article will review a number of relevant issues concerning reverse dipping, in particular: (1) its possible mechanisms; (2) prevalence and clinical correlates, (3) concomitant cardiac and extracardiac subclinical organ damage; (4) association with acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases; (5) prognostic value in predicting cardiovascular events and mortality; and (6) therapeutic interventions aimed at reverting this abnormal circadian blood pressure rhythm.
