Fragmented Sleep and the Prevalence of Hypertension in Middle-Aged and Older Individuals.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We aimed to investigate the association between fragmented sleep and the prevalence of hypertension in middle-aged and older individuals.

Methods

This study included 5804 participants with an average age of 63.1±11.2 years from the Sleep Heart Health Study. Fragmented sleep parameters including arousal index in total sleep (ArI-Total), rapid eye movement sleep (ArI-REM), non-rapid eye movement sleep (ArI-NREM), fragmented sleep index (SFI), sleep efficiency (SE) and wake after sleep onset (WASO) were monitored using polysomnography. The information on hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg or under antihypertensive treatment, was collected at baseline. We conducted multivariable logistic regre
