Sleep patterns and risk of new-onset hypertension and cardiovascular disease in prehypertensive adults: The UK Biobank Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between comprehensive sleep patterns and the incidence of new-onset hypertension (HTN) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with prehypertension.

Methods

This analysis included 118,523 baseline participants from the UK Biobank (2006-2010) with follow-up through 31 December 2021. A sleep pattern included chronotype, sleep duration, insomnia, snoring, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

Over a median follow-up period of 12.5 years, 10,276 participants (8.7 %) developed HTN, and 7665 participants (6.5 %) experienced CVD events. Participants adhering to healthy sleep patterns h
