Aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between sleep duration and stroke history in middle-aged and elderly people in Guiyang, China.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey carried out in 40– 99-years-old permanent residents of Guiyang. Yunyan, Wudang, and Baiyun districts and Xiuwen County were selected by stratified multilevel sampling for a face-to-face survey. Demographics, history of stroke, and self-reported sleep behavior data were collected, and multivariable logistic regression models were used to gradually adjust possible confounding factors.Results: A total of 5065 participants were included, of them 126 (2.5%) had a history of stroke. Short sleep ( 9 h) in 19.6%. Sleep duration and stroke prevalence showed a U-shaped distribution. When taking the sleep duration of 7– 9 h as a reference, sleep duration > 9 h was associated with stroke (all P 0.05).Conclusion: Thus, long sleep duration (> 9 h) is independently associated with history of stroke in middle-aged and elderly people in Guiyang.Keywords: stroke, sleep duration, prevalence, middle-aged, elderly, China
