The Claim
In a Hispanic/Latino clinical cohort, both self-reported sleep durations of six hours or less and nine hours or more are associated with higher 10-year cardiovascular risk scores calculated using the Framingham 2008 formula compared to sleep durations between six and nine hours.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People who say they sleep either too little (6 hours or less) or too much (9 hours or more) tend to have a higher chance of having a heart problem in the next 10 years, compared to those who sleep between 6 and 9 hours — at least in this group of Hispanic/Latino patients.
See the scientific wording
Both short (≤6h) and long (≥9h) self-reported sleep durations are associated with higher 10-year cardiovascular risk scores using the Framingham 2008 formula compared to 6–9h of sleep in a Hispanic/Latino clinical cohort.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that Hispanic/Latino people who sleep too little (6 hours or less) or too much (9 hours or more) have a higher risk of heart problems in 10 years compared to those who sleep 6 to 9 hours — just like the claim says.
