《Journal of the American Medical Association》JAMA Network Open published a study from Sweden. The study used data from the British Biobank and lasted for 12.5 years. It tracked nearly 250,000 people and the average age of those observed was 55.9 years old. The purpose of the study is to explore “lack of sleep increases the risk of type 2 diabetes” and “healthy eating habits such as eating fruits and vegetables regularly can reduce the risk of the disease”, so as to understand whether people who sleep too little can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes through healthy eating. Reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Based on the above research motivation, the researchers asked the subjects to answer questions about health and lifestyle. It was discovered that even people who maintain a healthy diet can develop diabetes due to lack of sleep. First, the researchers divided the subjects into four groups according to their sleeping habits, namely the “normal sleep group” who slept 7 to 8 hours a day (accounting for 75.5% of the people), and the “slightly less sleep group” who slept 6 hours a day. ” (accounting for 19.8% of the population), the “very little sleep group” who sleeps 5 hours a day (accounting for 3.9% of the population), and the “very little sleep group” who only sleeps 3 to 4 hours a day (accounting for 0.8% of the population).
Sleeping less than 6 hours a night increases the risk of disease
During the follow-up period, the researchers found that 7,905 study subjects were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, accounting for 3.2% of the total population. It was concluded that people who sleep less than 6 hours a night have a much higher risk of illness than people who maintain a normal sleep time of 7 to 8 hours a night. For example, people who sleep for 5 hours a night have a 16% increased risk of developing diabetes; people who sleep for 3 to 4 hours have a 41% increased risk. There was no significant difference among those who slept 6 hours a night.
Healthy eating habits can’t make up for it
Diana Noga, a sleep researcher at Uppsala University in Sweden, one of the authors of the study, pointed out that the above studies have shown that insufficient sleep increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. However, it is not clear whether people who get too little sleep can reduce the risk through healthy eating. Risk of disease.
In this regard, the researchers then explored the eating habits of the study subjects, including whether they had eaten processed or unprocessed red meat, vegetables, fruits, fish and other foods, and would eat less than 2 servings of processed meat and unprocessed meat per week. People who eat red meat, 2 or more servings of fish per week, more than 4 tablespoons of vegetables per day, and 2 or more pieces of fruit per day are classified as healthy eating habits groups, and each item is scored 1 point, ranging from 0 points ( least healthy) to 5 (healthiest). The results found that 17% of people received 5 points, 29% received 4 points, and 1.5% received 0 points. People with a healthy eating habit score of 4 to 5 had a 25% lower risk of developing diabetes than those with the least healthy diet (0 points).
However, although healthy eating habits can reduce the risk of developing diabetes, people who eat healthy but sleep less than 6 hours a day still have a higher risk of developing diabetes, indicating that sleep is an important factor in preventing the disease.
Christian Benedict, associate professor and sleep researcher at the Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences at Uppsala University, believes that the research results should not cause concern, but should be seen as a reminder of the important impact of sleep on health.
