Understanding how sleep affects heart and metabolic health in young people

Sleep and Cardiometabolic Subgroup Discovery and Risk Prediction in UnitedStates Adolescents and Young Adults: A Multi-Study Multi-Domain Analysis ofNHANES and NSRR

['FUNDING_R01'] · ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY-TEMPE CAMPUS · NIH-11250459

This study looks at how sleep affects heart and metabolic health in teens and young adults, especially those who might be at risk due to factors like being overweight or not getting enough exercise, to help find ways to keep them healthier.

What this research studies

This research investigates the relationship between sleep and cardiometabolic health in adolescents and young adults, focusing on how various risk factors like obesity and inactivity contribute to these conditions. By analyzing data from large national surveys, the study aims to identify specific subgroups of young individuals at risk for cardiometabolic diseases. The approach includes combining datasets to enhance understanding of how sleep disorders impact overall health outcomes in this age group. The goal is to improve early risk prediction and develop targeted interventions.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adolescents and young adults aged 11 to 39, particularly those experiencing sleep issues or at risk for cardiometabolic diseases.

Not a fit: Patients outside the age range of 11 to 39 or those without any sleep disorders or cardiometabolic risk factors may not benefit from this research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better identification of young individuals at risk for serious health issues, allowing for earlier interventions and improved health outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promising results in understanding cardiometabolic risks in adults, but this specific focus on young populations and the integration of sleep health is relatively novel.
