International Circulation: Have we seen effects of sleep quality and quantity on conditions other than obesity or weight gain? Especially when it comes to heart factors， what have we seen?
　Dr. Jean-Philippe Chaput: Short sleep duration and poor sleep quality are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes， an increased risk of CVD， and mortality. People die younger when they sleep less.
《国际循环》：睡眠的质量和数量除了会引起肥胖或体重增加外对身体还有哪些影响?尤其是当涉及到心脏的影响因素时，我们看到了哪些问题?
Jean-Philippe Chaput博士：短睡眠持续的时间和糟糕的睡眠质量增加了2型糖尿病和心血管疾病的风险，并且提高了死亡率。如果一个人睡的越少，那么他们的寿命越短。
International Circulation: If I am generally healthy， exercise frequently， but lack sleep， do I still need to make a change?
Dr. Jean-Philippe Chaput: It is one factor among many. Health is about eating well， moving， sleeping well， managing stress， not smoking， etc. Of course we are not perfect， we all have bad habits. Overall， if need to aim for more good habits than bad. For some people， they have bad genes. Bad genes， plus bad environment can lead to poor results. Sleep should be part of the health care package， but again it is only one factor. One thing is not more important others. If it is not possible to change your sleep patterns， but you eat well and exercise， you should be fine.
　《国际循环》：如果我通常身体健康，运动也很频繁，但是缺乏睡眠，我在生活习惯上是否还需要做出改变?
　Jean-Philippe Chaput博士：这是健康的诸多的影响因素之一。健康是关于吃好，睡好，运动，调整压力，不吸烟等等。当然，我们人无完人，我们都有不好的习惯。总的来说，相比坏习惯，我们更需要向好的习惯看齐。对于一些人来说，他们先天不足。不良的基因，加上恶劣的环境可以导致糟糕的结果。 睡眠应该是关爱身体健康的一部分，但是，这也仅仅是其中一个影响因素。这件事和许多其他因素一样，同等重要。如果你不可能改变你的睡眠模式，但是你可以合理饮食并且积极锻炼，那么你应该是健康的。
