Distinct roles of chronotype, daytime napping, and sleep duration in biological and functional aging: a univariable and multivariable Mendelian randomization study.
Abstract
Sleep traits have been linked to aging, but observational designs cannot separate correlated sleep behaviors or establish causality. We used Mendelian randomization (MR) to estimate both total and direct effects of chronotype, daytime napping, and sleep duration on multidimensional aging outcomes.
The following analysis is generated by AI and may contain errors. It is separate from the authors’ abstract and is not peer review.
Research summary
The paper claims that chronotype, daytime napping, and sleep duration have distinct effects on biological and functional aging outcomes. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between sleep traits and aging, potentially addressing factors that influence the aging process itself rather than merely treating age-related symptoms.
