The Impact of Sleep Disturbance on Cardiometabolic Function

过多的心血管死亡在轮班工作和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）人群中很常见。大量证据表明，这两种“状态”的睡眠障碍与这些不良后果有关。这项研究将量化睡眠障碍在两种人群中造成的心血管风险，确定未治疗的阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者在轮班工作时是否会增加风险，并确定轮班期间高蛋白的新型饮食是否会降低风险。这一发现可能为改善轮班工人的健康状况提供策略。

Excess cardiovascular death is common in rotating shiftwork and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) populations. Substantial evidence links sleep disturbance in both ‘states’ to these adverse outcomes. This research will quantify the cardiovascular risk that sleep disturbance poses in both populations, determine whether people with untreated OSA who engage in shiftwork have amplified risk and determine whether a novel diet of high protein during shiftwork reduces risk. The findings may provide strategies that could improve health in shiftworkers.
