Task: Intent Identification
Input (English): The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between sleep duration and hypertension in a middle-aged Chinese population.', 'Cross-sectional data of 20,505 individuals aged 35-64\xa0years from Taizhou longitudinal study was used. Logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) for the risk of pre-hypertension and hypertension in association with sleep duration.', 'Short sleep duration was associated with high systolic and diastolic blood pressure in comparison with sleep duration of 7-8\xa0h in females. Short sleep duration was also associated with an increased risk of hypertension in females. Age-stratified analysis showed that as compared with sleep duration of 7-8\xa0h, sleep duration <6\xa0h increased risk of hypertension after controlling for multiple covariates with an OR of 1.766 (1.024-2.775) in early middle-aged females of 35-44\xa0years. More importantly, sleeping less than 6\xa0h is associated with increased risk of pre-hypertension in females of this age category, after controlling for multiple covariates with an OR of 1.769 (1.058-2.958).
