Popis: | Background Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) may contribute to development of stroke. However, findings are inconclusive. We investigated whether SDB-related symptoms are associated with incidence of stroke and its types in a general community sample of adult men and women as well as to perform Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods We used data from a cohort of 41,742 Swedish adults (56–94 years of age) who completed questionnaires regarding snoring, cessation of breathing, lifestyle and health characteristics. Participants were followed up for incident stroke and death over 8 years through linkage to the Swedish Registers. Hazard ratios, adjusted for potential confounders, were estimated by Cox proportional hazards regression. MR analyses were performed using single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with sleep apnea at the genome-wide significance level and summary-level data for stroke and its subtypes from consortia and a meta-analysis of Genome-Wide Association Studies. Results In the cohort study, symptoms of disturbing snoring and/or cessation of breathing were associated with increased risk of total stroke (hazard ratio 1.12, 95% confidence interval 1.02–1.24) and intracerebral hemorrhage (hazard ratio 1.59, 95% confidence interval 1.23–2.05) but not with ischemic stroke or subarachnoid hemorrhage. MR analyses showed no association of genetic liability to sleep apnea with the risk of overall stroke or any specific types of stroke or ischemic stroke subtypes. Conclusions SDB-related symptoms were associated with increased risk of total stroke, specifically intracerebral hemorrhage, in the observational analyses but not in the MR analyses. There was limited evidence of an association of SDB with ischemic stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage. |
