Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e35536. [PMID: 37861490 PMCID: PMC10589542 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000035536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023] Open
Abstract
There is growing evidence that the prevalence of high blood pressure is increasing, and it may have serious consequences. However, research on the prevalence and influencing factors of high blood pressure among primary and secondary school students is still relatively scarce. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of high blood pressure among primary and secondary school students in Shenyang, in order to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and management of this disease. From April to May 2020, 4892 students aged 7 to 17 years were selected as the survey subjects, and on-site physical measurements and questionnaire surveys were conducted. The prevalence of high blood pressure was described. Restricted cubic spline was used to analyze the dose-response relationship between sleep duration, BMI and the risk of high blood pressure. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors. Multiplicative and additive models were used to analyze the interaction between sleep duration and BMI. The results showed that the overall prevalence of high blood pressure among students aged 7 to 17 years in Shenyang was 9.9%, with a higher prevalence in females than males (12.1% vs 7.9%) and in urban areas than suburban areas (11.8% vs 7.7%). The prevalence was lowest in students with normal weight (8.3%) and highest in those who were obese (12.5%). The prevalence fluctuated to some extent among different age groups, but overall, it increased with age, with the lowest prevalence in primary school students (7.0%), 11.4% in mild school students, and the highest prevalence of 14.3% in high school students. Multivariable analysis showed that the risk of high blood pressure in female students was 1.90 times higher than that in male students (95% CI: 1.54-2.35), and the risk in suburban areas was 0.65 times lower than that in urban areas (95% CI: 0.52-0.81). Students with a BMI ≥ 21 kg/m2 had a 1.58 times higher risk than those with a BMI < 21 kg/m2(95% CI: 1.28-1.96), while those with a sleep time ≥ 8 hours had a 0.80 times lower risk than those with a sleep time < 8 hours (95% CI: 0.65-0.99). Exercise can significantly reduce the risk of high blood pressure, while using electronic devices for more than 0.5 hours significantly increases the risk of high blood pressure. BMI and sleep duration have no interaction effect on the risk of high blood pressure. To reduce the prevalence of high blood pressure, students should reduce the use of electronic devices, ensure adequate exercise, maintain a reasonable weight, and ensure sufficient sleep.

Abstract
Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that short sleep duration is associated with an increased risk of cardio-metabolic health outcomes including cardiovascular disease mortality, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome. Experimental sleep restriction studies have sought to explain these findings. This review describes the main evidence of these associations and possible mechanisms explaining them. Whether sleep extension reverses these now widely acknowledged adverse health effects and the feasibility of implementing such strategies on a public health level is discussed.

Abstract
Objectives The objective of this study was to explore the association between nocturia and hypertension in a large, nationally representative adult sample. Methods We used data from 2005 to 2016 National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES). A total of 29,505 participants aged 20 years old or older were included. A participant was considered to have nocturia if he or she had two or more voiding episodes at night. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to explore the association between nocturia and hypertension. Results Participants with nocturia were associated with a higher risk of hypertension (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.28-1.45). Interaction tests revealed no significant effect of sex, age, race, or body mass index on the association of nocturia with hypertension. As the severity of nocturia increases, the risk of hypertension increases (P for trend <0.0001). In addition, nocturia was also related to different grades of hypertension (II vs. I: OR, 1.34, 95% CI, 1.16-1.55; III vs. I: OR, 1.67, 95% CI, 1.32-2.13). Conclusion In this cross-sectional study, our results suggest that nocturia is associated with an increased risk for hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Existing evidence on the association of dynamic change in sleep duration with risk of all-cause mortality in Chinese older population is limited. We aimed to explore the association of 3-year change in sleep duration with risk of all-cause mortality in a Chinese older population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 5772 Chinese older participants (median age 82 years) were enrolled in the current study. Cox proportional-hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association of 3-year change in sleep duration with risk of all-cause mortality. Subgroup analyses of the association between 3-year change in sleep duration and risk of all-cause mortality were conducted by age, sex and residence. RESULTS During a median of 4.08 years of follow-up, death developed in 1762 participants. Compared with -1 to <1 h/day change in sleep duration, the adjusted risk of all-cause mortality with < -3 h/day change in sleep duration may increase 26% (HR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.05-1.52); the risk of all-cause mortality with 3-year change from short to long sleep duration, or long to short sleep duration versus stable normal sleep duration status was increased about 28% and 52%, respectively (HR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.00-1.64 and HR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.21-1.92). Subgroup analyses demonstrated that similar significant associations were observed among participants with 65 to <85 years, men and living in city and town. CONCLUSIONS Dynamic sleep duration change was significantly associated with risk of all-cause mortality. The current study suggests that sleep duration may be a non-invasive indicator for interventions aiming to reduction risk of all-cause mortality in Chinese older population.

Abstract
Objectives Previous studies reported that there were disparities in hypertension management among different ethnic groups, and this study aimed to systematically determine the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control rates of hypertension in multiple Chinese ethnic groups. Methods We searched Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science for articles up to 25 October, 2022. The pooled prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control rates of hypertension were estimated with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The heterogeneity of estimates among studies was assessed by the Cochran Q test and I 2 statistic. Meta-regression analyses were conducted to identify the factors influencing the heterogeneity of the pooled prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control rate of hypertension. Results In total, 45 publications including 193,788 cases and 587,826 subjects were eligible for the analyses. The lowest prevalence was found in the Han group (27.0%), and the highest prevalence was in the Mongolian population (39.8%). The awareness rates ranged from 24.4% to 58.0% in the four ethnic groups. Both the highest treatment and control rates were found in the Mongolian population (50.6% and 16.0%, respectively), whereas the Yi group had the lowest control rate (8.0%). In addition, the study year, the mean age of subjects, mean body mass index of subjects, tobacco use (%), alcohol use (%), residence (urban%), and education (primary school%) had varied effects on heterogeneity. Conclusions These findings highlight the disparities in prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control rates of hypertension in a different ethnic population of China, which could provide suggestions for making targeted prevention measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether the ratio of siesta duration in the total sleep duration was associated with the occurrence of hypertension or cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) was unclear. HYPOTHESIS To explore the associations of siesta, and siesta ratio with hypertension or CVDs in middle-aged and older adults. METHODS This cohort study collected the data of 9247 middle-aged and older adults. The associations of siesta, and siesta ratio with hypertension were analyzed in 7619 participants while the associations of siesta, and siesta ratio with CVDs were analyzed in 8685 participants via univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Total sleep duration < 6 h (odd ratio [OR] = 1.168, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.023-1.335) and siesta ratios ≥ 0.4 (OR = 1.712, 95% CI: 1.129-2.594) were associated with increased risk of hypertension in middle-aged and older adults. Siesta ratio ≥ 0.4 was linked with higher risk of hypertension in males aged ≥ 60 years and total sleep duration < 6 h was correlated with elevated risk of hypertension in males < 60 years. The risk of CVDs was elevated in people with siesta duration < 0.5 h (OR = 2.053, 95% CI: 1.323-3.185). In females ≥60 years, the sleep duration at night < 6 h was associated with increased risk of CVDs. In females < 60 years, increased risk was observed in those with siesta duration < 0.5 h and sleep duration at night < 6 h. CONCLUSION Short sleep duration or high siesta ratio were associated with higher risk of hypertension. Short siesta duration, sleep duration at night or total sleep duration were correlated with an elevated risk of CVDs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To collect existing evidence on the relationship between sleep duration and health outcomes. METHODS A thorough search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from inception to January, 2021. Meta-analyses of observational and interventional studies were eligible if they examined the associations between sleep duration and human health. RESULTS In total, this umbrella review identified 69 meta-analyses with 11 outcomes for cancers and 30 outcomes for non-cancer conditions. Inappropriate sleep durations may significantly elevate the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), cognitive decline, coronary heart disease (CHD), depression, falls, frailty, lung cancer, metabolic syndrome (MS), and stroke. Dose-response analysis revealed that a 1-h reduction per 24 hours is associated with an increased risk by 3-11% of all-cause mortality, CHD, osteoporosis, stroke, and T2DM among short sleepers. Conversely, a 1-h increment in long sleepers is associated with a 7-17% higher risk of stroke mortality, CHD, stroke, and T2DM in adults. CONCLUSION Inappropriate sleep duration is a risk factor for developing non-cancer conditions. Decreasing and increasing sleep hours towards extreme sleep durations are associated with poor health outcomes.

Abstract
Background: To evaluate the association of sleep factors (sleep duration, self-reported trouble sleeping, diagnosed sleep disorder) and combined sleep behaviors with the risk of hypertension. Methods: We analyzed 12,166 adults aged 30–79 years who participated in the 2007–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Sleep duration, self-reported trouble sleeping and sleep disorders were collected using a standardized questionnaire. We included three sleep factors (sleep duration, self-reported trouble sleeping and sleep disorder) to generate an overall sleep score, ranging from 0 to 3. We then defined the sleep pattern as “healthy sleep pattern” (overall sleep score = 3), “intermediate sleep pattern” (overall sleep score = 2), and “poor sleep pattern” (0 ≤ overall sleep score ≤ 1) based on the overall sleep score. The definition of hypertension was based on self-reported antihypertensive medication use or biological measurement (systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg). We used weighted logistic regression models to investigate the associations between sleep and hypertension. Results: The overall prevalence of hypertension was 37.8%. A short sleep duration (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.08 to 1.33, p = 0.001), self-reported trouble sleeping (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.28 to 1.65, p < 0.001) and sleep disorder (OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.07 to 1.66, p = 0.012) were related to the risk of hypertension. Poor sleep patterns were closely correlated with the risk of hypertension (OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.62 to 2.24). Conclusions: Participants with poor sleep patterns were associated with an increased risk for hypertension.

Abstract
Background Multiple aspects of sleep and Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) have been linked to hypertension. However, the standard measure of SDB, the Apnoea Hypopnea Index (AHI), has not identified patients likely to experience large improvements in blood pressure with SDB treatment. Methods To use machine learning to select sleep and pulmonary measures associated with hypertension development when considered jointly, we applied feature screening followed by Elastic Net penalized regression in association with incident hypertension using a wide array of polysomnography measures, and lung function, derived for the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS). Findings At baseline, n=860 SHHS individuals with complete data were age 61 years, on average. Of these, 291 developed hypertension ~5 years later. A combination of pulmonary function and 18 sleep phenotypes predicted incident hypertension (OR=1.43, 95% confidence interval [1.14, 1.80] per 1 standard deviation (SD) of the phenotype), while the apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI) had low evidence of association with incident hypertension (OR =1.13, 95% confidence interval [0.97, 1.33] per 1 SD). In a generalization analysis in 923 individuals from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, aged 65 on average with 615 individuals with hypertension, the new phenotype was cross-sectionally associated with hypertension (OR=1.26, 95% CI [1.10, 1.45]). Interpretation A unique combination of sleep and pulmonary function measures better predicts hypertension compared to the AHI. The composite measure included indices capturing apnoea and hypopnea event durations, with shorter event lengths associated with increased risk of hypertension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the association between fragmented sleep and the prevalence of hypertension in middle-aged and older individuals. METHODS This study included 5804 participants with an average age of 63.1±11.2 years from the Sleep Heart Health Study. Fragmented sleep parameters including arousal index in total sleep (ArI-Total), rapid eye movement sleep (ArI-REM), non-rapid eye movement sleep (ArI-NREM), fragmented sleep index (SFI), sleep efficiency (SE) and wake after sleep onset (WASO) were monitored using polysomnography. The information on hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg or under antihypertensive treatment, was collected at baseline. We conducted multivariable logistic regression to explore the cross-sectional association between fragmented sleep and the prevalence of hypertension. RESULTS After adjusting for potential confounders, fragmented sleep parameters (per 5-unit change) including SE (odds ratio [OR] 0.904; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.877-0.932; P < 0.001), WASO (OR 1.019; 95% CI 1.012-1.027; P < 0.001), ArI-Total (OR, 1.036; 95% CI, 1.005-1.068; P = 0.024), and ArI-NREM (OR 1.032; 95% CI 1.004-1.062; P = 0.027) were significantly associated with the prevalence of hypertension. In addition, ArI-Total, ArI-NREM, and ArI-REM were positively correlated with both systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. CONCLUSION We found a high prevalence of hypertension among middle-aged and older individuals with fragmented sleep. The causal association between fragmented sleep and hypertension warrants further investigation.

Ethnicity Differences in Sleep Changes Among Prehypertensive Adults Using a Smartphone Meditation App: Dose-Response Trial. JMIR Form Res 2020; 4:e20501. [PMID: 33021484 PMCID: PMC7576537 DOI: 10.2196/20501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Revised: 07/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/26/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Background African Americans (AAs) experience greater sleep quality problems than non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs). Meditation may aid in addressing this disparity, although the dosage levels needed to achieve such benefits have not been adequately studied. Smartphone apps present a novel modality for delivering, monitoring, and measuring adherence to meditation protocols. Objective This 6-month dose-response feasibility trial investigated the effects of a breathing awareness meditation (BAM) app, Tension Tamer, on the secondary outcomes of self-reported and actigraphy measures of sleep quality and the modulating effects of ethnicity of AAs and NHWs. Methods A total of 64 prehypertensive adults (systolic blood pressure <139 mm Hg; 31 AAs and 33 NHWs) were randomized into 3 different Tension Tamer dosage conditions (5,10, or 15 min twice daily). Sleep quality was assessed at baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and 1-week bouts of continuous wrist actigraphy monitoring. The study was conducted between August 2014 and October 2016 (IRB #Pro00020894). Results At baseline, PSQI and actigraphy data indicated that AAs had shorter sleep duration, greater sleep disturbance, poorer efficiency, and worse quality of sleep (range P=.03 to P<.001). Longitudinal generalized linear mixed modeling revealed a dose effect modulated by ethnicity (P=.01). Multimethod assessment showed a consistent pattern of NHWs exhibiting the most favorable responses to the 5-min dose; they reported greater improvements in sleep efficiency and quality as well as the PSQI global value than with the 10-min and 15-min doses (range P=.04 to P<.001). Actigraphy findings revealed a consistent, but not statistically significant, pattern in the 5-min group, showing lower fragmentation, longer sleep duration, and higher efficiency than the other 2 dosage conditions. Among AAs, actigraphy indicated lower sleep fragmentation with the 5-min dose compared with the 10-min and 15-min doses (P=.03 and P<.001, respectively). The 10-min dose showed longer sleep duration than the 5-min and 15-min doses (P=.02 and P<.001, respectively). The 5-min dose also exhibited significantly longer average sleep than the 15-min dose (P=.03). Conclusions These findings indicate the need for further study of the potential modulating influence of ethnicity on the impact of BAM on sleep indices and user-centered exploration to ascertain the potential merits of refining the Tension Tamer app with attention to cultural tailoring among AAs and NHWs with pre-existing sleep complaints.
