A number of studies have reported that sleep duration might have an important role in the development of hypertension. However, the results have been inconsistent. In this study, a meta-analysis was performed to clarify the association between sleep duration and hypertension risk. PubMed, Embase and ISI web of science databases updated on 28 October 2011 were searched for eligible publications. Pooled odds ratio (OR) or relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was calculated using a random- or fixed-effect model. Six prospective (N=9959) and seventeen cross-sectional (N=105432) studies were identified for the data analysis on sleep duration. (publicado: 29-10-2012)
