Association between pet ownership and sleep in the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS)

Abstract Preliminary findings suggest that pets may impact the owner’s sleep. By using data from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bIoimage Study (SCAPIS) cohort, we aimed to investigate the association of pet ownership with the following self-reported sleep outcomes in 3788 to 4574 participants: (i) achi...
