폐경한 중년 여성의 수면시간과 고혈압 유병의 관계

초록

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep duration and the prevalence of hypertension among Korean middle-aged women using data from the eighth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (Ⅷ-3, 2021). Methods: Participants were 1,540 women. Complex sample frequency, descriptive statistics, and cross and multinominal logistic regression were analyzed. Results: The prevalence of hypertension among the participants did not show a significant relationship with sleep duration when adjusting for sociodemographic and health-related characteristics simultaneously. The prevalence of hypertension significantly increased when participants subjectively perceived their health status as poor, as age and obesity levels increased by one level. Conclusion: There is a need to improve the awareness of Korean postmenopausal middle-aged women’s subjective health status, which has been shown to affect the prevalence of hypertension, and to promote weight management according to obesity stage through health education that considers age.
