Gender-Specific Longitudinal Association of Sleep Duration with Blood Pressure among Children: Evidence from CHNS 2004-2015.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We conducted this study to add the evidence regarding the gender-specific association between sleep duration and blood pressure (BP) in children.

Methods

A secondary analysis was performed among 1000 children aged 7-13 years, who had at least two rounds of survey records in China Health and Nutrition Survey through 2004-2015. Generalized estimating equation was used to explore the gender-specific association of sleep duration with BP. The subgroup analysis was applied in those participants with normal weight.

Results

The time trend of decreasing sleep duration, along with increasing BP level, was observed in each age group during the survey period. Short sleepers (<9 hours per day) have higher level of both systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) than long sl
