Weekend catch-up sleep of one to two hours enough to lower Hyperuricemia among postmenopausal women
An Original study entitled "Association between weekend catch-up sleep and hyperuricemia with insufficient sleep in postmenopausal Korean women: a nationwide cross-sectional study" by researcher Son et al. has examined the association between Weekend catch-up sleep (WCUS) and Hyperuricemia with sleep deprivation in postmenopausal women. WCUS participants had a lower prevalence of Hyperuricemia.
The team mentioned that the prevalence of Hyperuricemia was significantly lowered at WCUS 1 to 2 hours.
The findings of the study are published in the Menopause.
It is already known that Hyperuricemia is associated with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases and mortality. These diseases are more prevalent in postmenopausal women and require Efforts to lower hyperuricemia risk.
Previous research results have explained the association of adequate sleep duration with lowered risk of Hyperuricemia. In modern society, getting enough sleep is challenging.
Researchers in the present study hypothesized that weekend catch-up sleep could be an alternative and estimated the relation between weekend catch-up sleep and Hyperuricemia with insufficient sleep in postmenopausal women during weekdays or workdays.
- One thousand eight hundred seventy-seven participants were extracted from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey VII.
- There were two groups: weekend catch-up sleep and non–weekend catch-up sleep groups.
- Weekend catch-up sleep lowered the prevalence of Hyperuricemia.
- Weekend catch-up sleep of 1 to 2 hours was tied to a lower prevalence of Hyperuricemia.
Concluding further, Weekend catch-up sleep decreased the prevalence of Hyperuricemia in postmenopausal women with insufficient sleep.
The study's limitations are the non-clarified causal relationship between WCUS and Hyperuricemia, data inaccuracy, difficulty checking information, lack of experimental evidence, etc.
Maintaining good sleep duration benefits Hyperuricemia, and if not possible, WCUS could be an alternative.
