Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the sleep status in children and adolescents and explore the relationship between the sleep and high blood pressure in them.
Methods:Data was from the Schoolbased Cardiovascular and Bone Health Promotiow Program (SCVBH) in Beijing. And 13 471 children and adolescents aged 6-16 years were selected from grades 1 to 4 in 8 primary schools, grade 1 in 21 middle schools and senior grade 1 in one twelve-year education school in Dongcheng, Fangshan, Miyun and Tongzhou Districts of Beijing during 2017-2018 by using a cluster sampling method. Self-reported questionnaires were used to collect the demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits of children and adolescents. The blood pressure was measured by electronic sphygmomanometer. Multiple logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between sleep and hypertension risk.
Results:The sleep duration was (8.4±1.1) hours. The prevalence of high blood pressure was 15.0%(2 021/13 471). The incidence of mouth breathing, slobber, snoring, and suffocate was 28.4%(3 823/13 471), 23.6%(3 184/13 471) and 18.7%(2 513/13 471), 2.8%(378/13 471) respectively. After adjusting for age, gender, snoring, mouth breaking, slobber, suffocate, the time for bed and sleep duration, we found that snoring and sleep duration (5.0-6.9 h) were both associated with high blood pressure (OR=1.49, 95%CI:1.32-1.69; OR=1.53, 95%CI: 1.28-1.81).
Conclusion:Snoring and sleep duration were positively associated with high blood pressure in this study. Interventions focusing on sleep status should be developed to reduce the incidence of high blood pressure in children and adolescents.
