Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The relationship among sleep quality, sleep duration and hypertension prevalence is controversial in different age groups and genders. This study aimed to investigate sleep quality, sleep duration and their association with hypertension prevalence among low-income oldest-old in a rural area of China. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in a representative sample of 1066 adults aged 80-99 years in 2017. Logistic regression analysis was performed. RESULTS: Among males, sleep durations of <6 h and 6-<7 h were significantly associated with hypertension prevalence, with odds ratios (ORs) of 3.15 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.37 to 7.23) and 2.38 (95% CI 1.22 to 4.63), respectively. Among females, only the sleep duration of <6 h was associated with increased OR of hypertension of 3.49 (95% CI 1.50 to 8.09). Poor sleep quality was associated with hypertension for both genders (ORmen 1.67, 95% CI 1.12 to 2.49; ORwomen 1.91, 95% CI 1.29 to 2.82). For women, a combination of poor sleep quality and any group of sleep duration, except for 7-<8 h, was associated with higher hypertension prevalence. For men, only the combination of poor sleep quality and short sleep duration (<7 h) was associated with high hypertension prevalence. CONCLUSION: Short sleep duration and poor sleep quality are associated with hypertension prevalence of oldest-old. The prevention of hypertension in older adults should be investigated from the perspective of sleep improvement.
