Abstract
Sleep deprivation is a risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. There was a high prevalence of high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes in Morangan, Yogyakarta Province. This study aims at studying the correlation between sleep duration, systolic blood pressure and fasting blood glucose levels of people in Morangan. This study was a cross-sectional study conducted in cooperation with a public health care program for people in Morangan. Data collection was done using a questionnaire and health screening procedure during the public health care program. Collected data were covering aspects of systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, sleep duration, and sleep habit. There was a high prevalence of high systolic blood pressure (>130mmHg; 66.04%) and high fasting blood glucose level (>100mg/dL; 39.62%) in Morangan people. There was a significantly positive correlation between sleep duration and systolic blood pressure (p:0.024; r:0.31) but no significant correlation between sleep duration and fasting blood glucose level. The major contributing habits towards sleep deprivation were caffeine consumption and medium pre-sleep routine. The result of this research will provide help in designing an education program for people of Morangan in preventing and treating high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.
Highlights
Sleeping is a physiological process important to human which in recent years, its duration and quality are declining
Systolic blood pressure and fasting blood glucose measurement conducted in this study served as both data collection and screening processes for high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes
There was an increasing prevalence of high systolic blood pressure and high fasting blood glucose compared to a previous study conducted towards the same population in 2017 (Suhadi et al, 2017)
Summary
Sleeping is a physiological process important to human which in recent years, its duration and quality are declining. This decline in sleep duration and quality causes an increase in sleep deprivation related diseases. Sleep deprivation is a risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases (Becker et al, 2015; Wang et al, 2015). A metaanalysis study shows that there is a strong connection between sleep deprivation and hypertension (Wang et al, 2015). Healthy sleep is composed of several components which include duration, quality, timing and lack of sleep disorder. Sleep deprivation is generally associated with fatigue, sleepiness, and other health and safety problems (Chaput et al, 2018)
