Hormonal and Metabolic Consequences of Sleep Disorders in Young Obese Patients

NCT00716222 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 70

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There is a well-documented relationship between short sleep duration and high body mass index (BMI). The mechanism linking short sleep duration and weight gain is unknown. Current studies in healthy young volunteers have shown that experimental sleep restriction is associated with dysregulation of the neuroendocrine control of appetite and with alterations in glucose metabolism. The goal of our study is to determine the metabolic and hormonal modifications induced by chronic sleep curtailment in obese adolescents and young adults and to observe if short sleep is a negative prognostic factor in their weight evolution.
