Heart It
Researchers tested sedentary, middle-aged adults without heart
disease then they were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to
accurately estimate average nightly sleep and a small amount of blood
was taken from each subject after an overnight fast.
Jamie
Hijmans, one of the authors of the study, said: "The link between
insufficient sleep and cardiovascular disease may be due to, in part,
changes in microRNAs. These findings suggest there may be a
"fingerprint" associated with a person's sleep habits, and that
fluctuations in microRNA levels may serve as a warning or guide to
disease stage and progression."
