Study: Daytime sleepiness linked with diabetes, cancer risk in elderly
Of the 840 people who reported sleepiness, 20 people, or 2.4 per cent, developed cancer compared to 21 people, or 0.8 per cent of those who were never sleepy during the day.
The results remained the same after researchers adjusted for other factors that could affect daytime sleepiness, such as gender and sleep apnea.
People who reported daytime sleepiness during both interviews had a 2.5 times greater risk of developing heart disease, the researchers said. People who reported sleepiness only in the second interview were 50 per cent more likely to also have diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, such as arthritis, tendinitis and lupus, than those who did not have daytime sleepiness, tehy said. The researchers noted a limitation of the study was that it relied on participants' memories, rather than monitoring their sleep length and quality, and daytime sleepiness in a sleep clinic. The study will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's Annual Meeting in Toronto, Canada, from April 25 to May 1.
