According to a recent study published in the open-access journal BMJ Open Respiratory Research, poor sleep quality may increase the genetic predisposition to asthma, potentially doubling an individual’s likelihood of being diagnosed with the disease. The study drew on 455,405 participants from the UK Biobank between 38 and 73 years of age, asking about their sleep patterns based on five traits. Participants with a healthy sleep pattern, characterized by early chronotype, 7-9 hours of sleep per night, rare insomnia, no snoring, and no daytime sleepiness, were found to have a lower risk of asthma. The researchers suggested that early identification and treatment of sleep disorders could reduce the risk of asthma, regardless of genetic predisposition. People with asthma often report sleep disturbances, including broken or short sleep and insomnia, but it is unclear whether sleep quality itself affects asthma risk. So this is very important things you remind for stay healthy.
