Optimal Sleep May Reduce The Risk For Vouso ThromBoembolism (VTE), According to Findings Published in the American Journal of Hematology. Yang Xia, PhDand Colleagues Investigated the Relationship Between Sleep Traits and VTE Risk Using UK BOBANK DATE. In A Cohort of 314,077 Participants Followed for A Median of 12.3 Years, 7,176 Developed VTE. The Higher Healthy Sleep Score (5 vs 0-1) was associated with to 30% Lower VTE Risk (HR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.61–0.80). U-Shaped Association Was Observed Between Sleep Duration and VTE, with Both Short (≤6 h) and Long (≥9 h) Sleep Durations Increasing Risk. Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, Snoring, and An Evening Chronotype Also Elevated VTE Risk. Mendelian Randomization Analyses Confirmed a Causal Relationship Between Short Sleep Duration and Increaded VTE Risk (OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.04–1.47), While other traits Lacked Causal Associations.
