Modifying effects of compensatory sleep on elevated blood pressure related to school-day sleep patterns.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore the complex effects of school-day sleep patterns on elevated blood pressure (EBP), with a particular focus on the role of compensatory sleep.

Methods

Utilizing propensity score matching, 15,612 children aged 7-12 years were obtained from the Chinese National Survey on Students' Constitution and Health in 2019. School-day wake-up and bedtimes were gathered by questionnaires, categorizing sleep midpoint into morning, intermediate, and evening phenotype and classifying sleep duration as "inadequate," "moderate," or "excessive." EBP was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at or above the 95th percentile for their respective sex, age, and height. The nonlinear relationships between sleep midpoint and sleep duration
