Individuals with chronic low back pain (cLBP) frequently report sleep disturbances. Living in a neighborhood characterized by low-socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with a variety of negative health outcomes, including poor sleep. Whether low-neighborhood SES exacerbates sleep disturbances of people with cLBP, relative to pain-free individuals, has not previously been observed. This study compared associations between neighborhood-level SES, pain-status (cLBP vs. pain-free), and daily sleep metrics in 117 adults (cLBP = 82, pain-free = 35). Neighborhood-level SES was gathered from Neighborhood Atlas, which provides a composite measurement of overall neighborhood deprivation (e.g. area deprivation index). Individuals completed home sleep monitoring for 7-consecutive days/nights. Neighborhood SES and pain-status were tested as predictors of actigraphic sleep variables (e.g., sleep efficiency). Analyses revealed neighborhood-level SES and neighborhood-level SES*pain-status interaction significantly impacted objective sleep quality. These findings provide initial support for the negative impact of low neighborhood-level SES and chronic pain on sleep quality.
患有慢性下背痛(cLBP)的个体经常报告睡眠障碍。生活在社会经济地位较低(SES)的社区与多种负面健康结果相关,包括睡眠质量差。以前尚未观察到低社区 SES 是否会加剧患有 cLBP 的人与无疼痛个体的睡眠障碍。本研究比较了社区水平 SES、疼痛状况(cLBP 与无疼痛)与 117 名成年人(cLBP = 82,无疼痛 = 35)的日常睡眠指标之间的关联。社区水平 SES 是从 Neighborhood Atlas 收集的,它提供了整体社区贫困(例如,区域剥夺指数)的综合衡量标准。个体完成了 7 天/夜的家庭睡眠监测。将社区 SES 和疼痛状况作为活动计睡眠变量(例如,睡眠效率)的预测因子进行了测试。分析显示,社区 SES 水平和社区 SES*疼痛状况之间的相互作用显著影响了客观的睡眠质量。这些发现初步支持了低社区 SES 和慢性疼痛对睡眠质量的负面影响。
