Abstract
Disordered sleep is associated with poor cognitive function and cognitive decline. However, little is known regarding the association of sleep-related factors with cognitive function in underrepresented cohorts such as the Hispanic/Latino population. Leveraging the National Sleep Research Resource, one of the most comprehensive collections of sleep studies, we identified a Hispanic/Latino cohort of 1,031 lower cognitive function cases and 2,062 normal controls. We developed a novel dual random forest (DRF) approach to discriminate cases against controls for estimating the potential impact of sleep-related variables related to the decline of cognitive function. Several important sleep-related factors were identified which may be associated with cognitive function in the Hispanics/Latinos cohort, such as heart rate, sleep duration, trouble falling asleep, and apnea/hypopnea index, which are consistent with existing research findings. Our DRF approach is effective in validating the association between disordered sleep and cognitive decline in this unique minority population.
