Circadian Timing, Information processing and Metabolism (TIME) study: protocol of a longitudinal study of sleep duration, circadian alignment and cardiometabolic health among overweight adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Both short sleep duration and circadian rhythm misalignment are risk factors for metabolic dysfunction, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. The goal of this study is to examine how sleep duration and circadian alignment predict changes in cardiometabolic risk factors over a 12-month period, and test cognitive function and hedonic eating tendencies as potential mechanisms.

Methods

We will recruit a sample of 120 working aged adults with BMI 25-35 kg/m² (overweight to class I obesity). The protocol includes 5 visits over a 12-month period. Study visits include wrist actigraphy to measure sleep behaviors, 24-h diet recalls, dim light melatonin collection, a computerized neurobehavioral assessment, eating in the absence of hunger task, and frequently sampled IV glucose tolerance test.

Discussion

The results of the TIME study will advance the understanding of how both short sleep duration and circadian misalignment contribute to behavioral aspects of obesity and metabolic dysfunction.

Project description:The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between sleep insufficiency and sleep duration, particularly regarding negative cardiometabolic health outcomes already considered to be affected by reduced sleep time.A total of N=30,934 participants from the 2009 Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) answered questions about their sleep duration as well as subjective feelings of sleep insufficiency. Outcomes included body mass index (BMI), obesity (BMI ? 30kgm(-2)) and history of hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, heart attack and stroke. Linear and logistic regression models examined whether cardiometabolic outcomes were associated with (1) sleep duration alone, (2) sleep insufficiency alone and (3) the combined effect of sleep duration and sleep insufficiency.Results indicated that, when examined alone, sleep duration <5h (versus 7h) was related to BMI (B=2.716, p<0.01), obesity (B=2.080, p<0.000001), diabetes (B=3.162, p<0.000001), hypertension (B=2.703, p<0.000001), hypercholesterolaemia (B=1.922, p<0.00001), heart attack (B=4.704, p<0.000001) and stroke (B=4.558, p<0.000001), and sleep insufficiency (days per week, continuous) was related to BMI (B=0.181, p<0.01), obesity (B=1.061, p<0.000001) and hypercholesterolaemia (B=1.025, p<0.01). All of these relationships remained significant after adjustment for covariates, except for diabetes and sleep duration. Also, after adjustment, a significant relationship between insufficient sleep and hypertension emerged (B=1.039, p<0.001). When evaluated together, after adjustment for covariates, significant relationships remained between sleep duration <5h (versus 7h) and BMI (B=1.266, p<0.05), obesity (B=1.389, p<0.05), hypertension (B=1.555, p<0.01), heart attack (B=2.513, p<0.01) and stroke (B=1.807, p<0.05). It should be noted that relationships between sleep duration >9h (versus 7h) were seen for heart attack (B=1.863, p<0.001) and stroke (B=1.816, p<0.01). In these models, sleep insufficiency was associated with hypercholesterolaemia (B=1.031, p<0.01) and hypertension (B=1.027, p<0.05).These analyses show that both sleep duration and insufficiency are related to cardiometabolic health outcomes, and that when evaluated together, both variables demonstrate unique effects.

Project description:ImportanceUnderstanding the interplay between trajectories of sleep duration, sleep onset timing, and glycemic dynamics is crucial for improving preventive strategies against diabetes and related metabolic diseases.ObjectiveTo examine the associations of sleep duration and onset timing trajectories with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-derived glycemic metrics in adults.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study analyzed data collected from January 2014 to December 2023 in the Guangzhou Nutrition and Health Study, a prospective cohort in Guangdong province, China, among participants aged 46 to 83. Participants who had repeated sleep assessments at several study visits and were equipped with CGM devices at the last visit were included. Data analyses were conducted between January and June 2024.ExposuresThe trajectories of sleep duration and onset timing were constructed using self-report sleep duration and sleep onset timing, recorded at multiple study visit points.Main outcomes and measuresMeasurements of glycemic variability and glycemic control were collected using a masked CGM device worn by patients for 14 consecutive days. Huber robust regression models were used to assess the associations between sleep trajectories and CGM-derived metrics.ResultsIn this study of 1156 participants (mean [SD] age, 63.0 [5.1] years, 816 [70.6%] women), we identified 4 distinct sleep duration trajectory groups: severe inadequate, moderate inadequate, mild inadequate, and adequate. Severe sleep inadequacy was associated with an increment of glycemic variability indicators: 2.87% (95% CI, 1.23%-4.50%) for coefficient of variation and 0.06 (95% CI, 0.02-0.09) mmol/L for mean of daily differences. We found 2 trajectories of sleep onset timing: persistent early and persistent late groups. Late sleep onset was associated with larger coefficient of variation (β = 1.18%; 95% CI, 0.36%-2.01%) and mean of daily differences (β = 0.02 mmol/L; 95% CI, 0.01-0.04 mmol/L). Inappropriate sleep duration and timing trajectories in combination were associated with greater glycemic variability.Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study of middle-aged and older participants, persistent inadequate sleep duration and late sleep onset, whether alone or in combination, were associated with greater glycemic variability. These findings emphasize the importance of considering both sleep duration and timing for optimizing glycemic control in the general population.
