Abstract
Purpose
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and sleep disorders both commonly affect people’s quality of life. This study aimed to explore the associations between sleep-related disorders and LUTS through epidemiological investigations.
Methods
Data were generated from the cross-sectional study called the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005–2008. Multivariable logistic regression models were conducted to investigate the relationships between sleep-related disorders and LUTS.
Results
A total of 2516 men were included in the study. Participants sleeping ≤ 6 h/night had higher odds ratios of LUTS (OR: 1.38; 95% CI 1.08, 1.77), daytime LUTS (OR: 1.26; 95% CI 1.03, 1.54), and nocturia (OR: 1.23; 95% CI 1.02, 1.49) than those sleeping 7–8 h/night. Participants who required > 30 min to fall asleep had an approximately 39% higher odds ratios of nocturia than those who fell asleep within 6 to 30 min (OR: 1.39; 95% CI 1.12, 1.73). Sleep problems were positively related to LUTS (OR: 1.42; 95% CI 1.11, 1.82), daytime LUTS (OR: 1.32; 95% CI 1.08, 1.61), urinary hesitancy (OR: 1.75; 95% CI 1.31, 2.34), and nocturia (OR: 1.52; 95% CI 1.26, 1.84). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) symptoms were positively associated with urinary incontinence (OR: 1.52; 95% CI 1.12, 2.08). In addition, participants with daytime sleepiness were at higher prevalence of LUTS (OR: 1.66; 95% CI 1.29, 2.15), daytime LUTS (OR: 1.44; 95% CI 1.16, 1.78), urinary hesitancy (OR: 1.95; 95% CI 1.45, 2.63), and nocturia (OR: 1.66; 95% CI 1.35, 2.05).
Conclusion
The findings suggested that sleep-related disorders were associated with LUTS, daytime LUTS, urinary hesitancy, incomplete emptying, urinary incontinence, and nocturia in middle-aged and elderly males.
