先前的研究表明，不同种族的睡眠障碍症状的患病率和严重程度存在差异。这项研究使用荟萃分析来确定非裔美国人 (AA) 和白种人美国人 (CA) 在失眠症状和睡眠呼吸障碍 (SDB) 方面的种族差异程度。它还使用调节分析来探索这些效应大小的变异性。 13 项测量失眠症状的研究和 10 项测量 SDB 的研究符合纳入标准，代表了数千名成人 AA 和 CA。结果表明，AA 的 SDB 患病率更高且严重程度更高，但 CA 报告的失眠症状更多。这些结果表明需要采用多种族方法来评估和治疗睡眠障碍。
Previous research suggests that ethnic groups differ in the prevalence and severity of disordered sleep symptoms. This study used meta-analysis to determine the magnitude of ethnic differences between African Americans (AAs) and Caucasian Americans (CAs) in insomnia symptoms and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). It also used moderator analyses to explore the variability in these effect sizes. Thirteen studies measuring insomnia symptoms and 10 studies measuring SDB met inclusion criteria and represented thousands of adult AAs and CAs. Results indicate AAs have a higher prevalence and greater severity of SDB, but CAs report more insomnia symptoms. These results indicate a need for a multi-ethnic approach to the assessment and treatment of sleep disorders.
