Association between rest-activity rhythm and diabetic retinopathy among US middle-age and older diabetic adults
A more fragmented rhythm and lower peak activity level might be associated with an increased risk of DR. These findings indicate that maintaining a more rhythmic sleep-activity behavior might mitigate the development of DR. Further research is necessary to establish causality and understand the underlying mechanisms, and focus on whether interventions designed to enhance daily rhythm stability and increase diurnal activity level can effectively mitigate the risk of progression of DR.
