Association between weekend catch-up sleep and hypertension of the United States population from 2017 to 2020: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension is a prevalent cardiovascular risk factor that significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Previous studies have highlighted the role of inadequate sleep during weekdays in the development of hypertension. However, the potential mitigative effects of weekend catch-up sleep (WCS) on hypertension have been less explored.

Methods

This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-2020, focusing on American adults. We assessed the association between WCS (defined as the difference in sleep duration between weekend and weekday) and the presence of hypertension. Participants were classified into two groups based on their WCS duration: none (below 1 hours), yes (over 1 hours).
