The association between metabolic parameters and evening chronotype and social jetlag in non-shift workers: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between evening chronotype and social jetlag (SJL) with obesity, blood glucose and lipid levels in non-shift working adults.

Methods

The databases of MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Reviews were searched for studies analyzing the metabolic parameters among groups of different chronotypes or SJL until Feb 2022. Weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to analyze the association between these parameters and chronotypes or SJL.

Results

A total of 27 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with morning chronotype, the participants with evening chronotype had higher body mass index (BMI) (WMD= 0.44 kg/m², 95%CI, 0.30 to 0.57 kg/m², p<0.001), higher fasting blood glucose level (WMD= 5.83mg/dl, 95%CI, 3.27to 8.38 mg/dl, p<0.001), higher total cholesterol level (WMD= 6.63mg/dl, 95%CI, 0.69 to 12.56 mg/dl, p=0.03), and lower high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level (WMD= -1.80mg/dl, 95%CI, -2.30 to -1.31 mg/dl, p<0.001). Compared with the participants with small SJL, the participants with large SJL had larger waist circumference (WMD= 0.80cm, 95%CI, 0.77 to 0.83cm, p<0.001).

Conclusions

Evening chronotype and SJL were associated with obesity and unfavorable metabolic parameters of glucose and lipid metabolism.

Project description:Sleep deficiency is well-documented in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Sleep deficiency includes poor sleep quality and an inadequate amount of sleep, and is a modifiable risk factor for IBS symptom exacerbations. Prior studies in other populations have identified chronotype and social jetlag (SJL) as important determinants of sleep outcomes. However, chronotype and SJL have not been examined in women with IBS. We used multiple linear regression analyses to determine whether chronotype and SJL are associated with sleep outcomes during weekdays among women with IBS predominant constipation (IBS-C), IBS with predominant diarrhea (IBS-D), and healthy control (HC) women. This sample included 62 women with IBS (IBS-C = 29, IBS-D = 33) and 58 HC women who completed a 28-day daily diary from two study cohorts. The average age of the participants was 30.1 (SD 7.2) years. Chronotype was estimated from daily diary data with the average mid-sleep time on weekends (MSWwe). SJL was calculated by subtracting the average mid-sleep time on weekdays from MSWwe. Sleep outcomes included diary assessments of sleep quality, sleep need met, and restorative sleep during weekdays. In HCs, later chronotype was predictive of lower sleep quality (β = -0.19, p < .01), a perception of sleep need not met (β = -0.17, p < .001), and a less restorative sleep during weekdays (β = -0.15, p = .073), whereas SJL was not associated with sleep outcomes. Similar to HCs, earlier chronotypes in women with IBS-C reported better sleep quality and more sufficient sleep need met and restorative sleep during weekdays than later chronotypes (all p > .05). Compared to HCs, the relationships of chronotype with weekday sleep outcomes in the women with IBS-D were in the opposite directions (all p < .05). This exploratory study suggests that chronotype expression may reflect the temporal associations of sleep outcomes within IBS bowel pattern predominance subgroups, particularly sleep quality and sleep need met. Additional investigations are warranted to examine whether specific temporal attributes of symptoms and/or symptom severity associated with IBS subgroups contribute to chronotype expression.

Project description:BackgroundNight and shift work are suspected to cause various adverse effects on health and sleep. Sleep deprivation through shift work is assumed to be compensated on free days. So far it is not clear how different shift systems and shift lengths affect sleep structure on work and free days. Especially working night shifts disrupts the circadian rhythm but also extended working hours (12h) might affect sleep characteristics. Hitherto, the magnitude of sleep debt, social jetlag, and Locomotor Inactivity During Sleep (LIDS) in different shift systems is unknown.MethodsHere, we investigated the impact of five different shift rosters on sleep in 129 industrial workers from Germany. Permanent night work with multiple shift systems with and without night shifts and with different shift lengths were compared. Wrist-activity was monitored over 28 days revealing sleep on- and offsets as well as LIDS as proxy for sleep quality. Overall, 3,865 sleep bouts comprising 22,310 hours of sleep were examined.ResultsThe mean daily age-adjusted sleep duration (including naps) was 6:43h and did not differ between shift workers of different rosters. However, sleep duration on workdays was particularly low in rotational shift systems with 12h-shifts (5:00h), while overall sleep debt was highest. Shift workers showed a median absolute social jetlag of 3:03h, which differed considerably between shift types and rosters (p<0.0001). Permanent night workers had the highest social jetlag (5:08h) and latest mid-sleeps on workdays and free days. Sleep quality was reduced in permanent night shift workers compared with shift workers in other rosters and differed between daytime and nighttime sleep.ConclusionsShift work leads to partial sleep deprivation, which particularly affects workers in 12h-shifts and permanent night shifts. Working these shifts resulted in higher sleep debts and larger absolute social jetlag whereas sleep quality was especially reduced in permanent night shift workers compared with shift workers of other rosters.

Project description:Evening chronotypes (a.k.a. "night-owls") are held to be at greater risk for psychiatric disorders. This is postulated to be due to delayed circadian timing increasing the likelihood of circadian misalignment in an early-oriented society. Circadian misalignment is known to heighten sleep inertia, the difficulty transitioning from sleep to wake characterized by low arousal and cognitive impairment, and evening chronotypes experience greater sleep inertia. Therefore, difficulty awakening may explain the relationship between evening chronotype and psychiatric disorders by acting as a biomarker of circadian misalignment. In analyzing the longitudinal incidence of psychiatric disorders in the UK Biobank (n = 496,820), we found that evening chronotype predicted increased incidence of major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, generalized anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder. Crucially, this effect was dependent on sleep inertia, which was a much stronger predictor of these disorders, such that evening types without sleep inertia were at no higher risk as compared to morning types. Longitudinal analyses of suicide and depressed mood (CES-D score) in the Older Finnish Twin Cohort (n = 23,854) replicated this pattern of results. Twin and genome-wide association analyses of difficulty awakening identified the trait to be heritable (Twin H 2 = 0.40; SNP h 2 = 0.08), enriched for circadian rhythms genes and have substantial shared genetic architecture with chronotype. Marginal and conditional Mendelian randomization analyses mirrored the epidemiological results, such that the causal effect of evening chronotype on psychiatric disorders was driven by shared genetic architecture with difficulty awakening. In contrast, difficult awakening was strongly causally associated with psychiatric disorders independently of chronotype. Psychiatric disorders were only weakly reverse causally linked to difficult awakening. Collectively, these results challenge the notion that evening chronotype is a risk factor for psychiatric disorders per se, suggesting instead that evening types are at greater risk for psychiatric disorders due to circadian misalignment, for which sleep inertia may be acting as a biomarker.
