The purpose of the study was to determine if there was a relationship between night sleep duration and hypertension, and to evaluate as to whether blood lipid levels played a role in this relationship. A total of 37,317 participants aged 18-79 years were included in this study. Night sleep duration was classified as <5, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, and ≥10 hours. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analysis was carried out to evaluate the association of sleep duration with hypertension. Compared with reference sleep duration (7 hours), in males, the multivariate odds ratios (ORs) (95% confidence interval [95% CI]) of the groups with longest sleep duration (≥10 hours) and shortest sleep duration (<5 hours) for hypertension was 1...
