| 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. |

A lot of people on HN seem unaware of how innovative research is paid for and are even cheering the cuts in the US. China certainly isn't cutting research. | | |
| ▲ | taurath 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Cheers, understood. I think I assumed it was to call into question the results of the study. The US is definitely ceding the intellectual and international diplomacy realm to china |
