Jing Xian Teo et al. used sleep tracking data from consumer wearables, together with phenotypic data from 482 volunteers to identify factors associated with habitual sleep duration and sleep efficiency. They identified sleep metrics associated with cardiovascular disease risk markers, such as body mass index, and linked insufficient sleep to premature telomere shortening, a biomarker of aging.
