Abstract
Nearly one-third of Americans have high blood pressure (BP),1 and 7 million deaths worldwide are attributed to high BP each year.2 Recently, 2 large epidemiological studies reported an association between self-reported sleep duration and the prevalence or incidence of hypertension.3,4 Identifying a novel lifestyle risk factor for high BP could lead to new interventions to prevent or reduce high BP.This publication has 29 references indexed in Scilit:
