Getting Less Than 7 Hours Of Sleep Linked To High Blood Pressure

I am a writer, journalist, professor, systems modeler, computational and digital health expert, avocado-eater, and entrepreneur, not always in that order.Will this increase the pressure for you to get more sleep? A new study has found an association between getting less than seven hours of sleep and having high blood pressure.

The study—led by Kaveh Hosseini, MD, an Assistant Professor of Cardiology at the Tehran Heart Center in Iran—pooled together data from 16 different studies that were conducted between January 2000 and May 2023. All told this encompassed 1,044,035 people who had had no prior history of hypertension before the study period from six different countries. The people had been followed for a median of five years, ranging from 2.4 to 18 years.

These associations held when the researchers statistically adjusted for other risks for high blood pressure such as having higher body mass index , having diabetes, being of older age and having a history of smoking. By the way, histories of diabetes and smoking were associated with a 20% or higher likelihood of developing high blood pressure.
