Why the study?
Are sleep quality and awake physical activity associated with nocturnal SBP fall in patients with cardiovascular risk factors?
Are sleep quality and awake physical activity associated with nocturnal SBP fall in patients with cardiovascular risk factors?
Better sleep quality and awake physical activity are significantly associated with nocturnal systolic blood pressure dipping in patients with cardiovascular risk factors.
Does not support practice change; leaves open whether targeting sleep quality or activity improves nocturnal dipping in cardiovascular risk patients.
Sleep quality and awake physical activity were found to be significantly associated with nocturnal SBP fall, and that relationship was not necessarily confounded by candidate causal factors for nocturnal hypertension.
