The summary noted a clear association between sleep disturbance in adolescents and a greater likelihood of having high cholesterol, high blood pressure and being overweight or obese. The study reported an association between sleep disturbance and cardiovascular risk in adolescents, as determined by high cholesterol levels, increased body mass index (BMI) and hypertension. The study called these findings important, given that sleep disturbance is highly prevalent in adolescence and that cardiovascular disease risk factors track from childhood into adulthood. Furthermore, the study mentioned previous studies that found that short sleep duration in adolescence was a significant risk factor for high cholesterol in adulthood, and that short sleep duration increased the odds of pre-hypertension, metabolic dysfunction, and adiposity.
The summary and the study said the research showed that those who reported sleep disturbances were more likely to consume...
They both also stated adolescents with shorter sleep routines reported less physical activity and more screen time. The study discussed the possibility that these additional confounding factors may predispose people to adiposity and cardiovascular risk. For example, caffeine consumption, especially high-caffeine energy drinks, preference for fatty foods, and reduced physical activity may simply reflect the current normal lifestyle of adolescents, which includes short and disturbed sleep. However, this relationship is likely bidirectional with disturbed sleep leading to daytime sleepiness, decreased physical activity and increased caffeine consumption.
The summary did a credible job of representing the study's findings, and reported the major points accurately. Both the summary and the study stated that intervention strategies to optimize sleep hygiene early in life may be important…
Sleep deprivation is frequently a direct result of the need for intensive care, constant surveillance and monitoring that combine to limit the opportunities for uninterrupted sleep in the intensive care unit (ICU). The problem is multifactorial, with patients' chronic underlying illness, pain, pharmacological interventions used for the treatment of the primary illness, as well as the ICU environment itself have all been shown to be contributing factors to the process
Nuances in Exercise and Cardiovascular Disease: A Comprehensive Approach for Men's Health Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among men worldwide. Regular physical activity is widely recognized as a protective factor against various forms of CVD, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and hypertension (Myers, 2003). Nevertheless, the relationship between exercise and CVD in men is complex, with nuances that are critical to understand. Engaging in
Cardiac Disorders and Sleep Apnea The objective of this study is to ascertain the relationship between cardiac disorders and sleep apnea. Toward this end, this work will examine the research on this area of study. An American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Foundation Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association Council for High Blood Pressure Research Professional Education Committee, Council on Clinical Cardiology, Strike Council, and Council on Cardiovascular nursing report
AbstractSleep remains one of the most crucial parts of an individual�s health and wellbeing. However, sleep disorders have become major health problems affecting many people across different ages in the United States. This project discusses the reduction of incidences of insomnia or sleep problems among adults using sleep hygiene education and sleep app. The purpose of the project is to describe the effects of sleep hygiene education and sleep tracking
Cardio-vascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and leads the statistics for emergency room (ER) cases. This literature review combines two primary causative agents in CVD: (1) Stress in the workplace, and (2) Middle Age. This review will explore one of the key reasons why the harmful ramifications of stress and middle age can be nullified or, at least, reduced -- through physical activity and exercise. Job stress is
Offered under the same roof are "consultative, diagnostic, and treatment services" which are stated to be provided "by board-certified practitioners in the fields of pulmonary medicine, otolarngology, family medicine and more." (2006) Smith reports that the laboratories experiencing the most dramatic growth are two which are located the "farthest from the Hillsboro flagship" as they are located in two areas that were "formerly underserved." (2006) Smith additionally reports that the
