| Description | The aim of this research was to explore the association between subjectively reported sleep duration and blood pressure (BP). Sleep < 6.9 h was associated with a significantly higher diastolic BP compared to subjects sleeping 7–7.9 h and > 8 h. The diastolic blood pressure negatively correlated to a significant extent with sleep duration even when taking into consideration age and BMI (r = –0.22, P = 0.016). Extremely short sleep is potential risk factor contributing to high blood pressure and hypertension. Sufficient sleep may play an important role in the prevention of high BP and cardiovascular disease. |
