Abstract

Determining whether weekend catch-up sleep (CUS) is related to high risk of depression in the general middle-aged population in Korea. This study is a cross-sectional study analyzing data from 2016 to 2017 collected in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey VII-1, 2; less than 35 years, and more than 65 years were excluded. Interviews on sociodemographic characteristics, mood and sleep-related profiles, and comorbid medical conditions were conducted. Participants were divided into three groups according to weekday sleeping time (< 6 h, 6 to ≤ 8 h, and ≥ 8 h). Weekend CUS was identified when nocturnal sleep extension occurred over the weekend. The risk of depression was evaluated using the PHQ-9. The PHQ-9 score differed among the three groups. The prevalence of moderate to severe depressive symptom and PHQ-9 score ≥ 10 was the highest in the group sleep over 8 h and the next highest in the group sleep less than 6 h. In the group sleep less than 6 h, PHQ-9 score ≥ 10 was significantly higher in the without CUS group than the with CUS group. The risk of depression in middle-aged individuals was associated with both short and long sleep duration, and the severity and prevalence of depression were lower in the group with CUS when a shortened sleep pattern was observed.
