Objective: To investigate whether sleep disturbances are associated with C-reactive protein (CRP) levels at the population level. Elevated CRP levels have been found to accompany sleep disturbances, but evidence so far comes only from limited clinical and experimental studies; epidemiological studie...

Elevated CRP levels have been found to accompany sleep disturbances, but evidence so far comes only from limited clinical and experimental studies; epidemiological studies are lacking. Methods: We utilized the Northern Finland 1966 Birth Cohort, whose participants have been followed up to the age of 31 years. The hs-enzyme immunoassay method was used to measure highly sensitive-CRP (hs-CRP) concentrations (4011 participants). Self-reported sleep disturbances were ranked from 1 (no problem) to 5 (severe disturbances). Results: Multivariate analyses, after adjusting for confounders, revealed that hs-CRP levels in men in the sleep disturbance category “moderate, considerable and severe ” (i.e., self-reported sleep disturbances rated 3, 4, or 5), were 18% (18.2%, 95 % Confidence Interval 3.0 % to 36.3%) higher than those in men with “no ” sleep disturbance. In women, hs-CRP levels did not significantly differ between different sleep disturbance categories. Conclusions: Our results support the hypothesis that moderate-to-severe sleep disturbances in men are associated with slightly increased CRP levels at the epidemiological level.
