Abstract

Night sleep duration, lights on and night light exposure can elevate blood pressure in adolescents which lead to prehypertension. Therefore this study aimed to analyse night sleep duration, lights on and night light exposure with prehypertension in adolescents. This cross sectional study recruited 160 students from 6 senior high schools in Surakarta city. Data of night sleep duration, light on and night light exposure were obtained from self-reported questionnaire while blood pressure was measured in the morning visit. Data were analysed using chi-square and logistic regression tests with p value <0.05. Prevalence of prehypertension in senior high school students was 26.3%. Selected students had average of night sleep duration 6.82 ± 1.08 hours and 47.5% students slept with lights on and the average of night light exposure among them was 98.93 ± 111.96 lux. Insufficient sleep (OR=1.048, 95% CI 0.517-2.128, p=0.896), lights on (OR=1.006, 95% CI 0.497-2.037, p=0.986), and highly night light exposure (OR=1.153, 95% CI 0.465-2.859, p=0.759) were associated with prehypertension in adolescents but it was not statistically significant. After adjusted with sex, BMI for age, and family history of hypertension, night light exposure had the strongest association with prehypertension (OR=1.640, 95%CI 0.541-4.976, p=0.382). High prevalence of prehypertension is found in adolescents of senior high schools in Surakarta city. Night light exposure is associated with prehypertension beside BMI for age, sex, and family history of hypertension. Further investigation is performed to analyze other factors which influence prehypertension in adolescents.
