We aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep characteristics with hypertension using self-reported questionnaires. A total of 957 adults were classified into three groups (short [<6 h], normal [6-8 h] and long [>8 h] sleepers). Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg or use of antihypertensive medication at the time of interview. Overall prevalence of hypertension was 34.3%. Association between short sleep duration and hypertension that was age-specific, present only among younger and middle aged individuals and sparing the elderly, but not gender-specific, as no discrepancies existed between males and females in all age groups, was evident. This study promotes early pharmacological or cognitive behavioral interventions on sleep disturbances in order to reduce hypertension burden.
我们旨在通过自我报告问卷来调查睡眠特征与高血压之间的关系。共有957名成年人被分为三组（睡眠短[<6小时]、正常[6 - 8小时]和长[>8小时]者）。高血压定义为收缩压≥140mmHg和/或舒张压≥90mmHg，或在访谈时正在使用抗高血压药物。高血压的总体患病率为34.3%。睡眠时长与高血压之间的关联具有年龄特异性，仅在年轻人和中年人中存在，老年人中不存在，但不具有性别特异性，因为所有年龄组的男性和女性之间均无差异，这一点很明显。本研究促进了对睡眠障碍的早期药物或认知行为干预，以减轻高血压负担。
