Purpose Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can lead to increased morning blood pressure (BP). We hypothesized that high evening BP may aggravate OSA-related morning BP elevation. Additionally, this interactional effect may be modified by sex. Methods This retrospective, cross-sectional study included new...
