Normative variation in self-reported sleep quality and sleep debt is associated with stimulated pro-inflammatory cytokine production
Open accessAbstract
Activation of innate inflammatory pathways, marked by increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, has been proposed as a potential mechanism linking poor sleep and inflammatory disease risk. In the present study, we examined associations of self-reported sleep quality and duration, and a calculated measure of sleep debt with the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1beta, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha among a community sample of 156 healthy adults. Bivariate correlations revealed an inverse association between sleep quality and production of all the three pro-inflammatory cytokines that was retained for IL-1beta after controlling for demographic and health characteristics. Hierarchical linear regressions also revealed that higher sleep debt scores predicted greater production of IL-1beta and IL-6 after adjusting for covariates. Secondary analyses showed an interaction between sleep debt and body mass index (BMI) in the prediction IL-1beta, suggesting that the impact of sleep debt on cytokine production is greater among participants with lower BMI scores. Further exploration of this potential psychophysiological pathway linking sleep difficulty and inflammatory disease susceptibility is warranted.

“A cross-sectional study in fewer than 200 individuals found an association between poorer subjective sleep quality (assessed by the PSQI) and higher stimulated IL-1, TNF, and IL-6 production, of which only the association with IL-1 remained significant after adjustment for demographic and lifestyle factors”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
