The American Heart Association Announces New Metric for Heart Health
, president of the American Heart Association says the AHA felt it was time to look at the concept’s strengths and limitations and see how they could upgrade the My Life Check tool. He adds that research on sleep has come a long way and is being measured more routinely now, in studies, but also with the use of heart monitors on smartwatches and other wearable devices.
“We just have better ways to understand how long we are sleeping for and to a certain extent, what the quality of that sleep is. Sleep is related to each of the other seven metrics. It’s related to our weight, our diet, our physical activity, our blood pressure, our risk for diabetes. But it's also independently contributing to our health, so we felt it was time to add an eighth metric.
Sleep can actually dictate what kinds of food we will find satisfying, he says. Sleep also certainly has important and profound impacts on whether we are storing calories or we are burning calories, he continues. “In the long term, these things affect our risk for diabetes, they affect our overall health and wellbeing both psychological and physical,” he says.Related Story
