Gender-specific association of sleep duration with blood pressure in rural Chinese adults

Abstract Background There are limited data about the role of gender on the relationship between sleep duration and blood pressure (BP) from rural populations. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional rural population-based study. This report includes 1033 men and 783 women aged 18–65 years from a coho...

Description
Summary:Abstract Background There are limited data about the role of gender on the relationship between sleep duration and blood pressure (BP) from rural populations. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional rural population-based study. This report includes 1033 men and 783 women aged 18–65 years from a cohort of twins enrolled in Anhui, China, between 2005 and 2008. Sleep duration was derived from typical bedtime, wake-up time, and sleep latency as reported on a standard sleep questionnaire. Primary outcomes included measured systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). High blood pressure (HBP) was defined as SBP ⩾130 mmHg, DBP ⩾85 mmHg, or physician diagnosed hypertension. Linear and logistic regression models were used to assess gender-specific associations between sleep duration and BP or HBP, respectively, with adjustment for known risk factors including adiposity and sleep-related disorder risk from the questionnaires. Generalized estimating equations were used to account for intra-twin pair correlations. Results Compared with those sleeping 7 to
