Quality of sleep also
played a role, with people experiencing poor sleep quality being more likely to
develop diabetes.
The study indicates
that making healthy sleep habits a priority could be an essential part of
diabetes prevention strategies. This might mean ensuring you get enough sleep,
but not too much, and making sure the sleep you get is good
quality.
In other news, if
you've got atrial fibrillation (AF), it might be worth checking your blood
pressure more regularly. A separate study found that 46.2% of patients with AF
and without a diagnosis of hypertension had masked hypertension. This is a
condition where blood pressure is normal during office measurements but elevated
when monitored on a more regular basis.
Interestingly, this
study also found that high BMI was associated with the risk for masked
hypertension.
Remember, when it comes
to health, every aspect of our lifestyle counts. From our sleep habits to our
heart health, it's all interconnected!
