The objective of our research project is to examine the association between sleep patterns and the risk of developing chronic diseases through the lens of plasma proteomic biomarkers. The investigation will examine the potential for these biomarkers, which are proteins in the blood that can indicate health conditions, to mediate the relationship between sleep quality and diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. The objective is to identify specific sleep patterns associated with particular biomarkers, assess their predictive value for disease risk, and develop a model that combines sleep data and biomarkers to predict chronic disease risk. The scientific rationale behind this research is that understanding the interplay between sleep, biomarkers and disease could lead to more effective prevention and treatment strategies, ultimately improving public health outcomes.
