Researchers have found a notable link between insomnia symptoms and hypertension in women. Drawing from a 16-year study involving over 66,000 participants, the study showed women with sleep difficulties were more prone to high blood pressure.
The findings emphasize the crucial importance of quality sleep for overall health, especially for women. The study’s insights stress the need for early detection and intervention.
Key Facts:
The study monitored 66,122 women for 16 years, tracking sleep habits and hypertension.
Women sleeping less than 7-8 hours or facing insomnia symptoms had a higher risk of hypertension.
Despite the strong correlation, the causality between sleep disturbances and hypertension is not confirmed.
