• Description:
  The present chapter examines the existing evidence relating reduced sleep duration and quality - as occurs in a majority of older adults - and the epidemic of diabesity. In the first two sections, we describe how glucose regulation and the neuroendocrine regulation of appetite vary across the sleep-wake cycle in young and older adults. The following section discusses the impact of age-related alterations in sleep on hormonal function. The fourth and fifth sections summarize the laboratory and epidemiological studies that have provided evidence for an adverse impact of reduced sleep duration or quality on the risks of diabetes and obesity, respectively. We conclude with a brief discussion of the putative benefits of improving sleep duration and quality as a strategy for successful metabolic aging. [Description provided by NIOSH]
