Why the study?
Does sleep quality correlate with cardiovascular risk factors in university students?
Population
235 university participants aged 18–26 years (81.7% aged 19-24 years), 63.4% female.
Design
Cross-sectional
Key result
Sleep quality scores among university students showed weak, non-significant correlations with cardiovascular risk domains including lifestyle (r=-0.055), blood pressure (r=0.022), and diet (r=0.127).

Limited sleep-CV risk associations in students should not change practice; leaves open need for longitudinal studies.

Does sleep quality correlate with cardiovascular risk factors in university students?
Sleep disturbance is common among university students but does not strongly correlate with other cardiovascular risk domains in this small cross-sectional study.
Ayub et al. (2026) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular risk factors (n=235). Sleep quality was evaluated on Correlation between sleep score and cardiovascular risk domains (lifestyle, blood pressure, diet). Sleep quality scores among university students showed weak, non-significant correlations with cardiovascular risk domains including lifestyle (r=-0.055), blood pressure (r=0.022), and diet (r=0.127).
