High Levels of Sleep Disturbance across Early Childhood Increases Cardiometabolic Disease Risk Index in Early Adolescence: Longitudinal Sleep Analysis Using the HOME Study.

Our findings suggest that trials to reduce CMD risk via sleep interventions - which have been conducted in adolescents and adults - may be implemented too late.
