The Diane Lauderdale team’s article “Short Sleep Duration and Incident Coronary Artery Calcification” states, “Recent studies have found that sleep duration is correlated with established risk factors for calcification including glucose regulation, blood pressure, sex, age, education, and body mass index.” Published on Tuesday, December 23, 2008, in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the Lauderdale team consisted of Christopher Ryan King, Kristen L. Knutson, Paul J. Rathouz, Steve Sidney, and Kiang Liu. The purpose of their study was to determine if sleep duration and the quality of sleep can affect calcification within the arteries of the human body. The research group studied 495 healthy middle-aged people who were taking part in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study. The CARDIA study was held in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. Participants included both African-American and Caucasian adult men and women between the ages of 35 and 47 years. Page two continues. |
