Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an important cause of cardiovascular mortality. Objectives: The authors aimed to explore the associations between sleep patterns and genetic susceptibility to AAA. Methods: We included 344,855 UK Biobank study participants free of AAA at baseline. A sleep pattern was defined by chronotype, sleep duration, insomnia, snoring, and daytime sleepiness, and an overall sleep score was constructed with a range from 0 to 5, where a high score denotes a healthy sleep pattern. Polygenic risk score based on 22 single nucleotide polymorphisms was categorized into tertiles and used to evaluate the genetic risk for AAA. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess the association between sleep, genetic factors, and the incidence of AAA. Results: During a median of 12.59 years of follow-up, 1,622 incident AAA cases were identified. The HR per 1-point increase in the sleep score was 0.91 (95% CI: 0.86-0.96) for AAA. Unhealthy sleep patterns, defined as a sleep score ranging from 0 to 3, were found to be associated with a higher risk of AAA for the intermediate (HR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.06-1.31) and poor sleep patterns (HR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.13-1.73), respectively, compared to the healthy pattern. Participants with poor sleep patterns and high genetic risks had a 2.5-fold higher risk of AAA than those with healthy sleep patterns and low genetic risk. Conclusions: In this large prospective study, healthy sleep patterns were associated wi...
