The relationship between dietary and sleep rhythms and blood pressure (BP) levels in children.
By Vijay Kumar MalesuNov 6 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in Hypertension Research, a group of researchers examined the relationship between dietary and sleep rhythms and blood pressure levels in children aged 6-15 from Chongqing and Sichuan provinces and identified optimal rhythm interventions to prevent Cardiovascular diseases onset potentially.
Further research is needed because while multiple studies highlight the effects of irregular dietary patterns and poor sleep on adult blood pressure, there is limited understanding of these impacts on children and adolescents, making it crucial to establish guidelines for this younger population. Dietary and sleep rhythms were determined through self-reported questionnaires detailing meal timings and sleep durations. Discrepancies between weekday and weekend rhythms were also calculated. BP was precisely measured on three distinct occasions by trained nurses from the Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University using a specific sphygmomanometer model to diagnose hypertension.
Study results The study assessed data from 5,608 children aged 6–15 years, with 47.3% being girls and 52.7% boys, and the average age of the participants was 10.48 years. Information such as height, weight, BMI, birth weight, and socio-economic factors were recorded, and girls were found to have a lower mean arterial pressure.
Sleep durations also varied: children aged 6–7 slept approximately 9.62 hours on weekdays, 8-12-year-olds slept about 9.18 hours, and 13-15-year-olds had an average sleep duration of 7.89 hours.
