Aim. To assess the relationship between different types of sleep disorders, sleep-related symptoms and hypertension (HTN).Material and methods. This cross-sectional study based on the online survey of persons aged 18-39 years with a body mass index of 18-25 kg/m2.Results. According to the results, the HTN risk in persons aged 18-39 years with normal body mass index increases 2 or more times in the presence of various types of sleep disorders and related symptoms. The prevalence of HTGN depends on the patient's phenotype, i.e. from a combination of different types of sleep disorders and sleep-related symptoms.Conclusion. Given the widespread prevalence of various sleep disorders, as well as the relationship between sleep disorders and hypertension in young people, it is necessary to develop preventive measures aimed at reducing the HTN risk by restoring healthy sleep. We also suggest that various sleep disorders may be the primary link in the development of essential HTN.
