A major international study published in Health Data Science has revealed strong links between sleep patterns and the development of 172 different diseases. By examining objective sleep data from 88,461 adults in the UK Biobank, researchers uncovered compelling evidence that consistent sleep routines, including stable bedtimes and circadian rhythms, play a much larger role in long-term health than previously thought.
The research, led by scientists from Peking University and Army Medical University, tracked participants using actigraphy over an average of 6.8 years. The findings showed that poor sleep habits contributed to more than 20 percent of the risk for 92 diseases.
