Description
Foozieh Rafati and six colleagues studied how sleep length relates to high blood pressure in southern Iran, in a 2025 cohort paper. Sleep is a changeable habit, yet past findings on its blood pressure link were mixed. The team drew adults aged thirty-five to seventy from a regional branch of a national Persian cohort study.
The analysis covered 3,737 people, with 1,332 free of hypertension followed for six years. At the start, short sleepers under fifty, women in particular, carried higher odds of hypertension than those sleeping seven to eight hours. In the older half, short sleep raised odds for both sexes. Over follow-up, both short sleep under seven hours and long sleep over eight hours came with roughly double the risk of new hypertension. The authors argue that sleep habits deserve a place in blood pressure prevention.
