Abstract

Subjects with evening chronotype demonstrated a significant positive correlation between poor sleep quality and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose levels.

  • Poor sleep quality was statistically significantly different among three chronotype groups: evening, intermediate, and morning.
  • Evening chronotype subjects exhibited a greater correlation between poor sleep quality and insulin resistance compared to intermediate and morning chronotypes.
  • Higher 2-hour postprandial blood glucose levels were observed in subjects with evening chronotype alongside poor sleep quality.
  • Findings suggest that evening chronotype may be associated with an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome in adolescents.
