WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- Children who get more sleep are at lower risk for developing type 2 diabetes, according to a new study published Tuesday in a U.S. journal.
For adults, getting too much or not enough sleep both have been linked with adiposity and type 2 diabetes. In children, more sleep has been tied to lower levels of obesity Customized Barcelona Jerseys , but research about type 2 diabetes risk factors has been scarce, according to The Journal of Pediatrics.
To explore possible connections, researchers analyzed the body measurements, blood sample results and questionnaire data from 4,525 children of multi-ethnic descent, aged 9 to 10 years Authentic Barcelona Jerseys , in England.
They found children who slept longer had lower body weight and lower levels of fat mass.
Sleep duration was "also inversely related to insulin, insulin resistance and blood glucose," they said.
"These findings suggest increasing sleep duration could offer a simple approach to reducing levels of body fat and type 2 diabetes risk from early life," professor Christopher Owen, who led the research at St George's, University of London Xavi Hernandez Barcelona Jersey , said in a statement.
"Potential benefits associated with increased sleep in childhood may have implications for health in adulthood," Owen said.
The researchers did not find an association between sleep duration and cardiovascular risk factors, including blood lipids and blood pressure.
This lack suggests "that sleep duration does not alter other cardiovascular risk in early life, other than by increased obesity and metabolic risks which, if sustained or accentuated, take time to accelerate cardiovascular risks Thomas Vermaelen Barcelona Jersey ," the researchers wrote.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- Eating high-fiber foods during adolescence and young adulthood may significantly reduce a woman's risk of developing breast cancer, a U.S. study said Monday.
The study, published online in U.S. journal Pediatrics, looked at more than 90,000 women who were surveyed about diet during high school.
The women also completed questionnaires about their food intake every four years since 1991 when they were aged 22 to 44.
Breast cancer risk was found to be 12 to 19 percent lower among women who ate more dietary fiber Samuel Umtiti Barcelona Jersey , especially lots of fruits and vegetables, in early adulthood.
High intake of fiber during adolescence was also associated with 16 percent lower risk of overall breast cancer and 24 percent lower risk of breast cancer before menopause.
Overall, for each additional 10 grams of fiber intake daily -- for example, about one apple and two slices of whole wheat bread, or about half a cup each of cooked kidney beans and cooked cauliflower or squash -- during early adulthood, breast cancer risk dropped by 13 percent.
The greatest apparent benefit came from fruit and vegetable fiber Aleix Vidal Barcelona Jersey , said the study led by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
The researchers speculated that eating more fiber-rich foods may lessen breast cancer risk partly by helping to reduce high estrogen levels in the blood, which are strongly linked with breast cancer development.
"From many other studies we know that breast tissue is particularly influenced by carcinogens and anticarcinogens during childhood and adolescence," senior author Walter Willett, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard Chan School, said at a statement.
"We now have evidence that what we feed our children during this period of life is also an important factor in future cancer risk."
