Abstract

Objectives: To analyze some factors related to sleep disorders in hypertensive elderly patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study using the PSQI sleep quality questionnaire on 95 elderly inpatients and outpatients with hypertension treated at National Geriatric Hospital, from January 2023 to April 2023, who were surveyed about sleep quality. Results: Most patients surveyed had sleep disorders, accounting for 80%. Patients with older age, longer duration of hypertension, more comorbidities, and anxiety traits had a higher prevalence of sleep disturbances than the reversed groups, those differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The proportion of patients with sleep disorders was high. Several factors that may lead to a higher rate of sleep disturbances in hypertensive patients include older age, longer duration of hypertension, more comorbidities, and anxiety traits.
