    Hypertension affects one-third of adults aged 30-79 globally, with over 70% failing to control their blood pressure.

  • 2

    Sleep maintenance efficiency (SME) may be a stronger determinant of hypertension risk than total sleep time (TST).

  • 3

    Fitbit devices can provide reliable estimates of SME by incorporating multiple biological signals, improving hypertension risk assessment.

  • 4

    The LIFE study utilized Fitbit data to examine the association between SME and blood pressure in a Japanese municipality.

  • 5

    Findings from this study could help identify at-risk groups for hypertension in populations that are normotensive or prehypertensive.
