Hispanic Ethnicity May Be Associated with Short Sleep Duration and Elevated Sleep Distress in U.S. Air Force Trainees

Abstract

Sleep research among Hispanic populations is limited. Hispanics may be at higher risk of poor sleep when compared to other race/ethnicities. Non-white and other socioeconomically disadvantaged populations have higher rates of chronic health conditions. Epidemiological studies have substantiated the correlation between short sleep and a multitude of negative health outcomes (e.g., cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension).
