To investigate the association between trouble sleeping and cataract in US adults.
Key Findings:
Participants with trouble sleeping had significantly higher odds of cataracts (OR = 2.50, 95% CI: 1.35–4.62, p = 0.011).
Subgroup analyses confirmed the robustness of the association across different demographic and clinical characteristics.
Interpretation:
The findings suggest that sleep health may play a role in cataract development, indicating a need for integrating sleep health into cataract prevention strategies.
Limitations:
Cross-sectional design limits causal inference.
Reliance on self-reported data may introduce bias.
Conclusion:
Trouble sleeping is significantly associated with increased odds of cataracts in US adults, warranting further longitudinal studies to confirm causality and explore mechanisms.
