In a newly published study, Dutch scientists discovered that people who stay up late regularly are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. nearly 50% higher than those who go to bed early. There are many reasons to explain this phenomenon, according to the health website Healthline (USA).
Staying up late regularly will significantly increase the risk of type 2 diabetes
The risk of type 2 diabetes among night owls remained high even after other risk factors, such as poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, drinking alcohol or not getting enough sleep, were eliminated.
Scientists at Leiden University in the Netherlands analyzed health data from more than 5,000 people. This data included bedtimes and wake-up times along with lifestyle factors that may increase the risk of diabetes.
Over a six-year follow-up period, 225 participants were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Analysis of the collected data showed that night owls had a 46% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than early birds.
Not only that, the study also found that people who stay up late often have a higher body mass index, more excess fat around the waist, including fat in the liver.
The study authors believe that the main cause of this phenomenon is that staying up late disrupts the circadian rhythm. When this biological rhythm is disrupted, the body's internal biological clock will no longer match the schedule of social activities. This disruption will lead to metabolic disorders and eventually type 2 diabetes.
Additionally, staying up late and waking up later the next morning is often linked to unhealthy habits. For example, studies have found that people who stay up late are more likely to smoke and eat unhealthy foods, especially late-night eating. These are all habits that can contribute to obesity and type 2 diabetes, according to Healthline .
