Objective Assessment of Sleep Duration and Its Association With Atrial Fibrillation Risk (IMAGE)
Caption
Sleep duration was objectively estimated using a one-week Holter electrocardiogram (ECG) equipped with an embedded accelerometer, enabling continuous monitoring during daily life. The analysis included 36,363 individuals in their 50s (peak working age) and 70s (typical retirement age), with and without atrial fibrillation (AF). Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analyses demonstrated that shorter sleep duration was significantly associated with higher AF risk among individuals in their 50s, whereas no significant association was observed in individuals in their 70s.
