Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy joins TODAY exclusively to speak out on his push for a warning label on social media platforms due to their association with the significant mental harms for adolescents.
Children and teenagers who regularly get too few hours of sleep may be at higher risk of developing high blood pressure, new research indicates. The findings may change how doctors talk with kids and their parents about hypertension. An analysis of data from more than 500 children and teens with hypertension revealed an association between shorter-than-recommended sleep times and high blood pressure, according to the study, published Wednesday in Pediatrics.
” For the new study, researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia examined the medical records of 539 kids, average age 14.6 years, who were referred to pediatric kidney clinics because of high blood pressure readings. The kids were asked when they went to bed and when they got up in the morning. They were also asked to wear ambulatory blood pressure measuring devices, which took readings every 20 minutes while they were awake and every 30 minutes during sleep.
