Reduced REM Sleep is Associated with Mortality in Middle Aged and Older Adults
jama-neurology.png

We investigated whether REM sleep is associated with greater risk of mortality in 2 independent cohorts and explored whether another sleep stage could be driving the findings.

This cross-sectional study from 2 independent cohorts found lower amounts of REM sleep were associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality. There was a 13% higher mortality rate over 12.1 years for every 5% reduction in REM sleep in a cohort of 2675 older men, and the finding was replicated in a cohort of 1375 middle-aged men and women followed-up for 20.8 years.
