Central Asian University proudly showcases a significant research achievement by Diyora Pulatova, a CAU Medical School graduate. This comprehensive review was authored during her 6th year of medical training and published upon graduation in a Scopus Q2- indexed journal.
Research title: The Impact of Sleep Disorders on the Development of Metabolic Syndrome
The study provides a compelling analysis of how sleep disorders-including insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, and circadian rhythm disturbances-contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome, a major driver of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
By integrating epidemiological, clinical, and experimental evidence, the research reveals how disrupted sleep impacts metabolic health through:
Importantly, the study identifies future research pathways focused on early diagnosis, preventive strategies, and targeted treatments to improve long-term health outcomes.

By integrating epidemiological, clinical, and experimental evidence, the research reveals how disrupted sleep impacts metabolic health through:
- insulin resistance and central obesity
- dysregulation of key hormones such as cortisol, leptin, and ghrelin
- disturbance of the HPA axis and melatonin pathways
- increased risks of hypertension and dyslipidemia
Importantly, the study identifies future research pathways focused on early diagnosis, preventive strategies, and targeted treatments to improve long-term health outcomes.
