The association of actigraphy-assessed sleep duration with sleep blood pressure, nocturnal hypertension, and nondipping blood pressure: the coronary artery risk development in young adults (CARDIA) study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Nocturnal hypertension and nondipping systolic blood pressure (SBP) are associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Short and long sleep duration (SSD and LSD) are also associated with increased CVD risk and may be risk factors for nocturnal hypertension and nondipping SBP. We examined the association between SSD and LSD with sleep BP, nocturnal hypertension, and nondipping SBP among 647 white and African American Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study participants who completed 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring, wrist actigraphy, and sleep diaries in 2015-2016.

Methods

The times when participants were asleep and awake were determined from actigraphy complemented by sleep diaries. Nocturnal hypertension was defined as sleep BP
