Healthy sleep pattern linked to lower risk in adults, large study shows. A UK Biobank study published in BMJ Open Respiratory Research suggests that poor quality sleep may increase an individual's genetic susceptibility to asthma, potentially doubling the risk of diagnosis. The study included 455,4
Good sleep is important for health, even for the lungs and the respiratory system. In fact, poor quality sleep may double the risk of asthma diagnosis by increasing genetic susceptibility, according to a UK Biobank study. Early detection and treatment of sleep disorders could help reduce these risks, irrespective of genetic predisposition.
Participants were asked about their sleep patterns, based on five specific traits: early or late chronotype ; sleep duration; insomnia; snoring; and excessive daytime sleepiness. Around 1 in 3 participants were classified as ‘high’ genetic risk and another third as ‘intermediate’ risk. The remainder were classified as ‘low’ risk.
Compared with those at low genetic risk, those with the highest risk were 47% more likely to be diagnosed with asthma, while those with a poor sleep pattern were 55% more likely. In theory, at the population level, a low genetic risk combined with a healthy sleep pattern might translate into 19% fewer cases of asthma, suggest the researchers.
