Primary healthcare checkups are regularly performed by French healthcare centers.

The prevalence of sleep disorders is estimated from a total of 205 347 checkups. The population is segmented by age (18-24: 19 332, 25-34:46 694, 35-44:51 072, 45-54:46 886, 55-64:32 658, 65 +:7 705), gender (male: 101 801; female: 103 546) and population category (general: 147 188, underprivileged: 22 785, prioritized: 35 374). Datas shows a relationship between sex and age. Surprisingly we found a relation between Buying Power for Net Wages and Prevalence of Sleep Complaint. There is a significant correlation (R(2)=0,718, p<0,0079). These data are in relationship with M. Ohayon findings relatively to low income and sleep complaint.
