The Moderating Role of Anxiety in the Links between Sleep and Inflammation

Presentation Type

Poster Presentation

Abstract

Poor sleep patterns have been linked to disruptions in inflammation factors (Irwin, 2019). Prior research has not examined the role of anxiety in this link. This study examined the moderating role of anxiety in the sleep-inflammation connection. Findings show that at higher levels of anxiety sleep disruptions predict elevated inflammation.
