Micronutrient Inadequacy in Short Sleep: Analysis of the NHANES 2005–2016

Abstract

One third of U.S. adults report short sleep (<7 h), which has been linked to negative health outcomes. Inadequate intake of micronutrients across the U.S. adult population has been reported, and a relationship between sleep conditions and micronutrient intake is emerging. This cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2005–2016) (n = 26,211) showed that participants with short sleep duration had a lower usual intake (Food + Supplements) of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D in all adults aged 19+ years, and vitamin K in adults aged 19–50 years, even after adjusting for covariates. In addition, participants reporting short sleep had a higher percentage of individuals with intake lower than the estimated average requirement (EAR) across multiple nutrients. Age and gender differences were observed in the prevalence of inadequate intake across multiple nutrients. Adults aged 51–99 years with short sleep duration had inadequate intake with respect to more nutrients. In females there was an association between short sleep and a higher prevalence of inadequate intake (Food + Spp) for calcium, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, D, E, and K (above adequate intake). Conversely, males reporting short sleep only had an inadequate intake of vitamin D. Overall, we demonstrate that short sleep is associated with increased nutrient inadequacy, emphasizing the possible need for dietary supplementation.

Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Score and Its Association with Sleep Quality in a National Survey of Middle-Aged and Older Men and Women

“…Ikonte et al reported that participants in the NHANES 2005-2016 who slept ≤7 h per night had lower usual intakes of magnesium compared to all adults, 19+ years, even after adjusting for all covariates. In both young (19-50 y) and older (51-99 y) women, they also found short sleep duration to be associated with prevalence of inadequate intakes of magnesium and 10 other micronutrients [61].…”

Inadequacy of Immune Health Nutrients: Intakes in US Adults, the 2005–2016 NHANES

“…The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a bi-yearly cross-sectional study of the US population conducted by Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC). Data from the 2005-2016 (2005-2006, 2007-2008, 2009-2010, 2011-2012, 2013-2014, and 2015-2016) NHANES was previously analyzed [10]. Details regarding the study participants, demographics, methods, statistical analyses are described by Ikonte et al [10].…”

Details regarding the study participants, demographics, methods, statistical analyses are described by Ikonte et al [10]. Briefly, the usual intake, % of population below EAR and % of population above the UL were analyzed using two reliable 24 h dietary recall interviews in 26,282 adults aged 19-99 years.…”

“…Approximately 1/3 of US adults do not meet the recommended number of sleep hours. A recent report showed a high prevalence of vitamins A, C, D, E, and zinc inadequacies are significantly associated with inadequate sleep [10], which suggested nutrients play interdisciplinary roles in multiple systems that support immune health. Micronutrient inadequacy of these critical immune nutrients is also an important global health concern.…”
