Introduction: Prevalence of Asthma
Shiller, JS, et al. (2010); http://www.cdc.gov/asthma/
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease
Prevalent in 8% of the U.S. adult population
1 in 12
Introduction: Public Health Burden of Asthma
http://aafa.org; National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, 2009; Ampon, 2005
Burdens on individuals, workplace, and society
High healthcare costs (20B)Lost work productivity

How does asthma impact individuals?
Introduction: General Public and Life Satisfaction
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.; Ampon, R., et al. 2005, Wilson, 1995, Gorman, 2009

(HRQOL)

Study Rationale
Gorman, 2009; Carlton, 2005; Guney, 2010; Fagerstrom, 2011; Zullig, 2004; Strine, 2008
Asthmatic adults = sleep abnormalities
Insufficient sleep HRQOL
Insufficient sleep reduced life satisfaction
HRQOL reduced life satisfaction
Purpose & Objective
Zullig, 2004; Strine, 2008; Colas, 2011; Trojan, 2012
The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of insufficient sleep on life satisfaction in adults with asthma and to determine if HRQOL indicators mediate the effect.
BRFSS 2010 Total Subjects N = 451,075
Have you ever been told you had asthma? If yes, do you still have asthma?
n = 41,518
Are you pregnant?n = 270
Missing data on predictor, mediators, or outcome
n = 4,586
*n = 36,662 *Subjects in the final sample size could be missing observations on one or more of the covariates

Limitations and Strengths
LimitationsNot able to account for
the severity of asthma
No temporality, so unable to show causation
StrengthsTo our knowledge, first
study to measure the magnitude of the mediated effect of HRQOL among asthmatic adults
Discussion
Gorman, 2009; ; Guney, 2010; Trojan, 2012; Fagerstrom, 2011 CDCd; Carlton, 2005’ Zullig, 2004; Strine, 2008
Internal consistency of results
External consistency support by previous research
Practicality of findings and impact for asthmatics
Unanswered questions
HRQOL mediates the association between IS LS
Conclusion
Cross-sectional study suggests strong association between insufficient sleep, HRQOL, and overall life satisfaction
Provides new evidence that HRQOL mediates the relationship between IS LS
Public health practitioners should be aware of sleep quantity and quality as they have implications for health outcomes in adults with asthma.
