AIMS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF PILOT DATA
Determine:
1. The feasibility of Southern California registry as an effective measure to recruit African American men to participate in a new research program.
2. If men will comply with the study procedures including Actigraphy and ambulatory blood pressure monitors.
3. The within subject coefficient of variation for repeated measures of nocturnal blood pressure by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, vertical activity at night by Actigraphy monitors.
4. Whether the ambulatory Blood pressure itself affects the sleep pattern on Actigraphy.
5. Nocturnal systolic blood pressure and nocturnal vertical activity are higher in men with self-reported nocturia ≥2 at night than in men with no reported nocturia.
Purpose:
Obtain key pilot data to show feasibility and document the reproducibility of the proposed measurements.
