title = "Cross-sectional interrelationships between habitual sleep patterns, obstructive sleep apnoea and hypertension",
abstract = "Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a prevalent disorder associated with the leading global risk factor for mortality, hypertension. Emerging data suggest sleep patterns, specifically sleep timing and duration, may have important interrelationships with OSA and hypertension. The current thesis investigated these interrelationships and found that the presence and severity of OSA may be influenced by sleep patterns. Furthermore, the risk for hypertension in those with OSA is not uniform and may be influenced by sleep patterns. Improved understanding of these associations may facilitate a personalised medicine approach which incorporates habitual sleep pattern measures to target subgroups at increased hypertension risk.",
