Total sleep duration and risk of type 2 diabetes: Evidence based on clinical and epidemiological studies.

Total sleep duration and risk of type 2 diabetes: Evidence based on clinical and epidemiological studies. Curr Drug Metab. 2018 Jun 28;: Authors: Yadav D, Cho KH Abstract Increasing incidences of type 2 diabetes makes it necessary to have a better understanding of the risk factors for its prediction. Taking a note of resilience in risk factors, dynamics of the emerging factors other than traditional ones are showing a great interest in recent years which imprints a significant contribution in the occurrence of diabetes. Of different factors, sleep duration was acknowledged as a most common risk factor for dyslipidemia, obesity, hypertension, metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Adhering to the state of information available, the review highlights the underlying mechanisms toward establishing the relationship between sleep duration and diabetes; compiled mainly through laboratory and epidemiological studies. An attempt has been made to highlight the association of sleep duration and sleep quality on the occurrence of type 2 diabetes and subsequently cardio-metabolic complications. With U-shaped association between sleep duration and onset of diabetes, both short and long term sleep duration was found contributing to the development of type 2 diabetes. It advocates that good sleep can be utilized to manage the risk of type 2 diabetes in terms of its prevention and treatment by the clinicians. Additionally, studies on the sex-related differ...
