Children and teenagers who regularly get too little sleep may be at more risk of developing high blood pressure, new research indicates. The findings may change how doctors talk with kids and their parents about hypertension. The new study was published on Wednesday in the medical journal Pediatrics. It analysed data from more than 500 American children and teens with hypertension, revealing an association between shorter-than-recommended sleep times and high blood pressure.
” For the new study, researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia examined the medical records of 539 kids, average age 14.6 years, who had been referred to paediatric kidney clinics because of high blood pressure readings. The kids were asked when they went to bed and when they got up in the morning. They were also asked to wear ambulatory blood pressure measuring devices, which took readings every 20 minutes while they were awake and every 30 minutes during sleep.
