Objective:To investigate the risk of hypertension in adults with different insomnia symptoms in Jiangbei District of Chongqing,China. Methods:A total of 2000 residents in Jiangbei District of Chongqing were randomly selected as subjects. The resi-dents with one or more insomnia symptoms for at least one week were selected as insomnia group,and the rest of the residents were included as non-insomnia group. According to insomnia symptoms(sleep latency,number of awakenings,early awakening time,and total sleep time),the insomnia group was divided into four subgroups(sleep latency subgroup,sleep maintenance disorder subgroup,early awakening subgroup,and short total sleep time subgroup). A logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for hypertension. Results:A total of 612(30.6%) individuals who were suffering from insomnia for at least one week were included in the insomnia group. Sleep maintenance disorder(8.0%) was the main insomnia symptom. The insomnia group had significantly higher family income,overweight rate,and drinking rate than the non-insomnia group(P<0.05). Among the four subgroups of the insomnia group,the sleep maintenance disorder subgroup had the highest prevalence rate of isolated systolic hypertension(7.0%);the sleep latency subgroup had the highest prevalence rate of classical hypertension(systolic pressure>140 mmHg and diastolic pressure >90 mmHg)(6.4%);the early morning awakening subgroup had the highest prevalence rate(6.6%);the short total sleep time sub-group had the highest prevalence rate of classical hypertension(6.9%). The sleep maintenance disorder subgroup had a significantly higher risk of isolated systolic hypertension than the non-insomnia group(OR=1.603,95%CI=1.042-2.466,P<0.05). The short total sleep time subgroup had a significantly higher risk of classical hypertension than the non-insomnia group(OR=1.711,95%CI=1.086-2.696,P<0.05). Conclusion:Insomnia adults have a higher risk of hypertension than those without insomnia. The risk of hyperten-sion is closely associated with sleep maintenance disorder and short total sleep time.
