Abstract in brief

  • Short sleep duration, shift work, and obstructive sleep apnea are linked to increased risk of hypertension and higher blood pressure levels.
  • Observational studies show that both subjective and objective measures of short sleep can increase hypertension risk, with shift work worsening blood pressure control and nocturnal BP.
  • Treating sleep disturbances, such as using continuous positive airway pressure for sleep apnea, can help lower blood pressure and improve BP regulation, emphasizing the need for healthcare awareness and intervention.]

客観的に測定した睡眠時間と質問紙などで測定した睡眠時間では高血圧発症との関連性が異なるらしい。 単に量的な時間の測定だけでなく、レム/ノンレム睡眠みたいな質に切り込んだ調査がもっと必要なのだろうか。 Effect of Sleep Disturbances on Blood Pressure https://t.co/ZU5ZzRatMv

High blood pressure? Observational studies demonstrate that subjectively assessed short sleep increases hypertension risk. Intervention studies demonstrate that mild and severe sleep restriction are associated with higher BP. https://t.co/DEC8lDwVKD https://t.co/au6zEh2WRS

Lack of sleep, including sleep apnea, may cause high blood pressure. Lack of sleep leads to increased heart rate, stress hormone levels, inflammation, hunger, and food cravings, while lowering metabolism.    https://t.co/XAvmTpUh5v #health #nutrition #highbloodpressure https://t.co/enwqmkSOM9
