Key result
Daily sleep duration of ≥ 9 hours was significantly associated with elevated brachial-ankle pulse-wave velocity compared to 7 hours of sleep, particularly among men.
Why the study?
Does self-reported sleep duration of ≥ 9 hours increase arterial stiffness (baPWV) in middle-aged adults compared to 7 hours of sleep?

Does self-reported sleep duration of ≥ 9 hours increase arterial stiffness (baPWV) in middle-aged adults compared to 7 hours of sleep?
Long sleep duration (≥ 9 hours) is associated with increased arterial stiffness in middle-aged Japanese men, suggesting a potential link between excessive sleep and cardiovascular risk.
Yoshioka et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Arterial stiffness (n=4,268). Daily sleep duration ≥ 9 h vs. 7 h of sleep was evaluated on Brachial-ankle pulse-wave velocity (baPWV). Daily sleep duration of ≥ 9 hours was significantly associated with elevated brachial-ankle pulse-wave velocity compared to 7 hours of sleep, particularly among men.
