Swedish scientists from Uppsala University found that severe sleep deprivation in adults increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. This effect cannot be compensated by healthy nutrition alone. The study was published in the scientific journal magazine JAMA Network Open.
“Previous research has shown that chronic sleep deprivation increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, while healthy eating habits, such as regular consumption of fruits and vegetables, can reduce the risk. We decided to find out whether it is possible to reduce the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes due to sleep deprivation through good nutrition alone,” said the study’s co-author. Its author is somnologist Diana Noga.
Scientists analyzed data from the British Biobank, which contains nearly half a million records on the genetic status of people in the UK. A study of records and health and lifestyle research found that sleeping three to five hours a night significantly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Proper nutrition can reduce the threat somewhat, but does not eliminate it completely. Experts emphasized that to minimize the possibility of developing type 2 diabetes, it is necessary not only to eat healthy, but also to sleep at least six hours a day.
