The role of sleep on cardiometabolic health is rapidly emerging, as are the connections between sleep and diet. These relationships may be especially relevant during periods of rapid growth and development, such as the pubertal transition. This talk will cover three components of research among adolescents within this framework:
- the role of diet on sleep health
- sleep timing and duration in relation to cardiometabolic health and
- the potential epigenetic pathways involved in the relationships of sleep, diet, and cardiometabolic health.
