Some people with lung disease do worse than others
For individuals with progressive lung disease, poor or disrupted sleep may have a greater impact than a history of smoking, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)
The findings were published in the journal Sleep
“African Americans are disproportionately represented in low-income neighborhoods, where people are less likely to have quality sleep
The researchers monitored 1,647 confirmed COPD patients recruited in the national multicenter SPIROMICS study, which aims to track disease progression and evaluate treatment effects
Poor sleep increases seizure risk from 25% to 95%
At the start of the study, the average age of the participants was 65, and the average stage of the disease was moderate
As expected, more African-Americans than white participants reported poor sleep quality: 63 percent versus 52 percent
"While factors such as health insurance coverage or respiratory disease may play an important role in disease severity, sleep deprivation may become more important as African-American social status increases," Baugh said
Sleep hygiene and sleep aids may significantly improve their health
Reference: Risk of COPD exacerbation is increased by poor sleep quality and modified by social adversity
