Long daytime napping: A silent danger for hypertensive individuals.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Hypertension significantly contributes to stroke. Previous research has indicated a connection between daytime napping and stroke. Research on the connection between daytime napping duration and first stroke in hypertensive individuals is lacking nevertheless.

Methods

This research, which ran from 24 August 2013 to 31 December 2022, recruited 11,252 individuals with hypertension and without a history of stroke from the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial. To determine the relationship between daytime napping duration and stroke onset in hypertensive individuals, we conducted analyses for threshold effects, multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression models, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves.

Results

The duration of daytime napping
