Associations Between Complement C4, Habitual Constipation, and Sleep Disturbance in Oldest-Old and Centenarian Chinese Adults by Sun Z, Nie Y, Pei J, Gao M, Luan Z, Zhao Y, Li Z, Fu S

“…In the multiple logistic regression models, complement C4 was negatively associated with sleep disturbance (odds ratio: 0.978, 95% CI: 0.963– 0.993, P < 0.05), and habitual constipation was positively associated with sleep disturbance (odds ratio: 1.609, 95% CI: 1.194– 2.168, P < 0.05).Conclusion: The present study provides epidemiological evidence that sleep disturbance is negatively associated with complement C4 and positively associated with habitual constipation in oldest-old and centenarian Chinese adults, which expands the knowledge for the associations between complement C4, habitual constipation, and sleep disturbance in the elderly population and provides new insights and pathways on the treatment of sleep disturbance by regulating immune factors and intestinal function.Keywords: centenarian, complement C4, habitual constipation, oldest-old, sleep disturbance…”
