Associations of siesta and total sleep duration with hypertension or cardiovascular diseases in middle-aged and older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Whether the ratio of siesta duration in the total sleep duration was associated with the occurrence of hypertension or cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) was unclear.

Hypothesis

To explore the associations of siesta, and siesta ratio with hypertension or CVDs in middle-aged and older adults.

Methods

This cohort study collected the data of 9247 middle-aged and older adults. The associations of siesta, and siesta ratio with hypertension were analyzed in 7619 participants while the associations of siesta, and siesta ratio with CVDs were analyzed in 8685 participants via univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Results

Total sleep duration < 6 h (odd ratio [OR] = 1.168, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.023-1.335) and siesta ratios ≥ 0.4 (OR =
