Comment on Phenome-wide analysis of diseases in relation to sleep traits

Comments

Interesting to see fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver as one of the highest correlations. As noted, sleep disruption can alter some liver functions. However I wonder how much of this is a proxy for frequent alcohol consumption, which disrupts sleep.

Being overweight can cause sleep apnea and fatty liver disease, so there may be some correlation due to that.
