Background: Hypertension is one of the main public health issues around worldwide, and midday napping is a popular habit. The association between the two remains to be explored.
Objective: The goal of the research was to explore the association of midday napping with hypertension.
Methods: This study separately selected 11,439, 12,689, and 9464 Chinese respondents aged over 45 years from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study 2011, 2015, and 2018 data sets. Binary logistic regression was used to explore the association of midday napping with hypertension, and the 3-step method was used to test the mediation effect of BMI.
Results: Among all respondents, the prevalence rates of hypertension were 24.6% (2818/11439) in 2011, 21.1% (2683/12689) in 2015, and 22.1% (2092/9464) in 2018. Midday napping was positively correlated with hypertension. In 2011 and 2015, napping 60 to 90 minutes had the greatest odds ratios [OR] (OR 1.705, OR 1.494). In 2018, the biggest OR came from the group napping 30 to 60 minutes (OR 1.223), and ORs of different napping durations decreased from 2011 to 2018. In addition, BMI had a partial mediation effect in 2015 and 2018.
Conclusions: Midday napping is a potential risk factor for hypertension with BMI acting as a mediator. To prevent hypertension, avoiding prolonged duration of midday napping and taking action to maintain a normal BMI level are recommended.

Glioblastoma (GBM), a highly aggressive brain tumor predominantly affecting individuals over 40, often co-occurs with sleep disorders. However, the causal relationship remains unclear. This study employed a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the causal links between sleep traits/disorders and GBM.

Background: Prior studies have demonstrated a prevalent occurrence of depression among the middle-aged and older Chinese individuals with chronic diseases. Nevertheless, there is limited research on the specific subgroups of depression trajectories within this population and the factors influencing these subgroups.
Objective: To explore the changing trajectory and influencing factors of depression in the middle-aged and older individuals with chronic disease in China, and provide the data reference for the health management of the older adult population in China.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the links between sleep duration, sleep restfulness, and midday napping with hip fractures and falls in a representative sample of the Chinese population, using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2013-2018).
- - Out of 10,508 participants, 3% reported hip fractures and 37.1% experienced at least one fall over five years, with those sleeping less than 6 hours more likely to report these issues compared to those with normal sleep (6-9 hours).
- - Results indicated that short sleep duration and poor sleep restfulness are connected to a higher risk of hip fractures and falls, suggesting that improving sleep quality could be beneficial for public health, particularly
Associations of nighttime sleep, midday napping, and physical activity with all-cause mortality in older adults: the Seniors-ENRICA cohorts.

We examined associations between nighttime sleep and midday nap duration with all-cause mortality according to adherence to moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) recommendations in older adults. We used data from 3518 and 3273 older adults recruited in the Seniors-ENRICA-1 and 2 cohorts, respectively. Nighttime sleep time was classified as short (< 7 h), middle (≥ 7 and < 8 h), and long (≥ 8 h), and midday napping as no nap, short (≤ 30 min), long (> 30 and ≤ 60 min), and very long (> 60 min).
