Association between sleep duration and hypertension risk in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

ABSTRACT: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a well-established risk factor for hypertension, with sleep duration being a modifiable factor influencing this risk. However, sleep misperception among OSA patients makes it unclear how subjective and objective sleep duration are associated with the prevalence and incidence of hypertension in this population. This study aims to examine these associations using data from the Sleep Heart Health Study cohort. Participants with OSA (apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 15 events/hour) were categorized based on objective sleep duration from polysomnography (PSGTST) and subjective sleep duration (morning-reported sleep time, AMTST; habitual sleep time, HABTST). Hypertension prevalence was assessed at baseline, while hypertension incidence was evaluated during a five-year foll
