Hot water bathing – a Japanese traditional practice – has not been evaluated for its association with night- and sleep-time blood pressure (BP) in large population. In this longitudinal analysis, bathing parameters and ambulatory BP were repeatedly measured for 2 nights in 758 Japanese elderly individuals. Participants were divided into three groups according to tertile values of time soaked in the bathtub (Duration: tertile value, 11 and 15 min), time from bathing-end to bedtime (Time before bedtime: tertile value, 42 and 106 min), and temperature of hot water in the bathtub (Water temp: tertile value, 40.3 and 41.2 °C). Participants’ mean age was 70.9 years, and mean night- and sleep-time systolic BP (SBP) and dipping were 115.1 ± 16.1, 114.2 ± 16.2 mmHg, and 14.2 ± 8.8%, respectively. Multivariable mixed-effect linear regression models adjusted for potential confounding factors suggested that nighttime SBP was significantly lower in the intermediate Time before bedtime group by 1.7 mmHg (95% CI, 0.2–3.1) and in the short group by 1.9 mmHg (95% CI, 0.1–3.7) than that in the long group. Dipping was significantly greater in the intermediate Time before bedtime group by 1.8% (95% CI, 0.7–2.9) and in the short group by 1.8% (95% CI, 0.6–3.1) than that in the long group. These associations were consistent regarding sleep-time SBP. Conversely, Water temp and Duration did not significantly associate with any ambulatory BP parameter. Remarkably, Time before bedtime significantly prolonged with increases in tertiles of Water temp (P for trend = 0.006). In conclusion, the findings of this study revealed that Japanese hot water bathing, especially the short time from bathing-end to bedtime, was associated with lower night- and sleep-time BP and greater dipping in an elderly population.
