Washington, August 16
\nChildren who get more sleep are at a lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, a study published in a US journal has said.<\/p>\n

For adults, getting too much or not enough sleep both have been linked with adiposity and Type 2 diabetes, Xinhua news agency cited the study published on Tuesday as saying.<\/p>\n

In children, more sleep has been tied to lower levels of obesity, but research about Type 2 diabetes risk factors has been scarce, according to The Journal of Paediatrics.<\/p>\n

To explore possible connections, researchers analysed the body measurements, blood sample results and questionnaire data from 4,525 children of multi-ethnic descent, aged 9-10 years in England.<\/p>\n

They found that children who slept longer had lower body weight and lower levels of fat mass.<\/p>\n

Sleep duration was \u201calso inversely related to insulin, insulin resistance and blood glucose\u201d, they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese findings suggest increasing sleep duration could offer a simple approach to reducing levels of body fat and Type 2 diabetes risk from early life,\u201d Professor Christopher Owen, who led the research at St George\u2019s, University of London, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cPotential benefits associated with increased sleep in childhood may have implications for health in adulthood,\u201d Owen said.<\/p>\n

The researchers did not find an association between sleep duration and cardiovascular risk factors, including blood lipids and blood pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
