Overweight individuals ignoring sleep signals face increased health risks, according to a study by Oregon Health & Science University.
A study by Oregon Health & Science University reveals negative health impacts in overweight individuals who disregard their body's sleep signals. The research, published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, found sleep disruption can lead to higher belly fat, fatty triglycerides, and metabolic syndrome risk scores in men, and increased overall body fat percentage, glucose, and resting heart rates in women. The study emphasizes the importance of good sleep habits for overweight individuals, and further research will explore sex-specific sleep pattern differences in workers with altered sleep patterns.
