“…The U‐shaped associations have been significant, although rather modest, in most meta‐analyses, despite the original studies being age adjusted in the basic model (Cappuccio et al, 2010; da Silva et al, 2016; Yin et al, 2017; Liu et al, 2017; Ren et al, 2020). In some studies that were stratified by age, a U‐shaped association between sleep duration and mortality was found in the older group, but not in the younger one (Gangwisch et al, 2008; Yeo et al, 2013), as well as in both groups (Svensson et al, 2020). However, the cut‐off for age was only 50 or 60 years, respectively, in those studies, that is, the older groups in those studies were rather young.…”
