To delineate the association between sleep characteristics and renal function in peri-post menopause free of Chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as cardiometabolic and hormone indicators.ObjectiveTo delineate the association between sleep characteristics and renal function in peri-post menopause free of Chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as cardiometabolic and hormone indicators.Cross-sectional data from a total of 823 Han-Chinese women aged 40-67 years who visited the Menopause Clinic in the Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from November 2011 to November 2020 were analyzed through the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and serum cystatin C (Cys-C). Logistic regression models were used to assess the association between cumulative/each sleep parameter and renal function after adjusting for cardiometabolic variables.MethodsCross-sectional data from a total of 823 Han-Chinese women aged 40-67 years who visited the Menopause Clinic in the Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from November 2011 to November 2020 were analyzed through the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and serum cystatin C (Cys-C). Logistic regression models were used to assess the association between cumulative/each sleep parameter and renal function after adjusting for cardiometabolic variables.After confounding factors, we identified that poor perceived sleep quality, shorter sleep duration (<6 h), low sleep efficiency (<75%), delayed sleep latency and worse sleep disturbance elevated more than doubled the odds ratio for declining renal function (≥0.91 mg/dL, the highest Cys-C) in postmenopause in a graded fashion. Meanwhile, multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that sleep disorder (PSQI ≥ 8), late postmenopause, highest quartile independently increased the odds ratio for declining renal function (OR 2.007, 95% CI: 1.408-2.861, OR = 3.287, 95%CI: 3.425-8.889, OR = 2.345, 95% CI: 1.310-4.199, respectively), while participants with menopausal hormone replacement (MHT) lower the odds of declining renal function (OR = 0.486, 95% CI: 0.324-0.728).ResultsAfter confounding factors, we identified that poor perceived sleep quality, shorter sleep duration (<6 h), low sleep efficiency (<75%), delayed sleep latency and worse sleep disturbance elevated more than doubled the odds ratio for declining renal function (≥0.91 mg/dL, the highest Cys-C) in postmenopause in a graded fashion.
