Loneliness As a Moderator of the Relationship between Sleep Quality and Diastolic Blood Pressure in Young Adults

We examined the associations between self-reported sleep quality, loneliness, and blood pressure (BP) in a sample of 99 undergraduates. The sleep quality X loneliness interaction term approached significance in predicting diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Poor sleep quality was associated with higher DBP at high levels of loneliness.
