Impact of Environmental Noise and Sleep Health on Pediatric Hypertension Incidence: ABCD Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pediatric hypertension is linked to environmental factors like neighborhood noise disrupting sleep, which is crucial for health. The specific interaction between noise and sleep health in causing hypertension still needs to be explored.

Methods and results

We analyzed data from 3320 participants of the ABCD (Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development) study, recruited across 21 US cities and monitored from 2018 to 2020 through 2020 to 2022. Participants with complete data on Fitbit-tracked sleep, blood pressure, height, neighborhood noise, and covariates (biological sex, race and ethnicity, pubertal stage, waist circumference) were included. Hypertension was defined as average blood pressure ≥95th percentile for age, sex, and height. Sleep health was categorized on th
