Many people have habits that easily lead to diabetes.

In a newly published study, Dutch scientists found that people who regularly stay up late are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This is nearly 50% higher than for those who go to bed early. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, according to the health website Healthline (USA).

Regularly staying up late significantly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

The risk of developing type 2 diabetes remains high for those who stay up late, even after eliminating other risk factors such as an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol consumption, or insufficient sleep.

Scientists at Leiden University (Netherlands) analyzed health data from more than 5,000 people. This data included bedtime and wake-up times, along with lifestyle factors that may increase the risk of developing diabetes.

Over a follow-up period of approximately six years, 225 participants were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Analysis of the collected data showed that those who stayed up late had a 46% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to those who went to bed early.

Furthermore, the study also found that people who stay up late tend to have a higher body mass index and more excess fat around their abdomen, including fat in the liver.

The study authors suggest that the primary cause of this phenomenon is the disruption of circadian rhythms due to staying up late. Once these rhythms are disrupted, the body's internal clock is no longer aligned with the schedule of social activities. This disruption leads to metabolic disorders and ultimately, type 2 diabetes.

Furthermore, staying up late and waking up later the next morning is often associated with unhealthy habits. For example, research has found that people who stay up late are at a higher risk of smoking and unhealthy eating habits, especially eating late at night. These are all habits that easily lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes, according to Healthline .
