WASHINGTON [url=http://www.airmax98supreme.fr/homme-nike-air-max-270-be-true-multicolor-pas-cher.html]Homme Nike Air Max 270 Be True Multicolor Pas Cher[/url] , Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- Children who get more sleep are at lower risk for developing type 2 diabetes, according to a new study published Tuesday in a U.S. journal.

For adults, getting too much or not enough sleep both have been linked with adiposity and type 2 diabetes. In children, more sleep has been tied to lower levels of obesity, but research about type 2 diabetes risk factors has been scarce, according to The Journal of Pediatrics.

To explore possible connections, researchers analyzed the body measurements, blood sample results and questionnaire data from 4,525 children of multi-ethnic descent, aged 9 to 10 years, in England.

They found children who slept longer had lower body weight and lower levels of fat mass.

Sleep duration was "also inversely related to insulin, insulin resistance and blood glucose," they said.

"These findings suggest increasing sleep duration could offer a simple approach to reducing levels of body fat and type 2 diabetes risk from early life," professor Christopher Owen, who led the research at St George's, University of London, said in a statement.

"Potential benefits associated with increased sleep in childhood may have implications for health in adulthood," Owen said.

The researchers did not find an association between sleep duration and cardiovascular risk factors, including blood lipids and blood pressure.

This lack suggests "that sleep duration does not alter other cardiovascular risk in early life, other than by increased obesity and metabolic risks which, if sustained or accentuated, take time to accelerate cardiovascular risks," the researchers wrote.

1 Busan authorities say activists are free to place a symbolically charged "comfort woman" statue outside the port's Japanese consulate (AFP PhotoSTR)

Seoul (AFP) - The southern South Korean port of Busan said Friday it would allow activists to place a statue symbolising victims of Japanese wartime sex slavery outside the city's Japanese consulate.

The municipal authorities had previously removed the "comfort woman" statue, but changed track after Japan's hawkish defence minister offered prayers at a controversial war shrine in Tokyo.

Tomomi Inada's visit on Thursday to the Yasukuni Shrine, which honors millions of mostly Japanese war dead -- but also senior military and political figures convicted of war crimes -- swiftly drew flack from China and South Korea.

Activists had first placed their statue outside the consulate on Wednesday -- marking their opposition to a South Korea-Japan agreement reached a year ago to finally resolve the comfort women issue.

Under the accord, which both countries described as "final and irreversible," Japan offered an apology and a one-billion yen ($8.3 million) payment to surviving Korean comfort women.

Critics said the deal did not go far enough in holding Japan responsible for its wartime abuses.

The statue -- a copy of one that sits across the road from the Japanese embassy in Seoul -- was swiftly removed from outside the Busan consulate by the authorities.

But after Inada's visit stoked an outpouring of public anger, they said it would be returned to the activists.

"We won't stop the civic group from setting up the statue there if they wish to do so," Yonhap news agency quoted local official Park Sam-Seok as saying.

The statue in Seoul -- a bronze of a young, seated woman with a small bird on her shoulder -- has proved an extremely potent and popular symbol.

Japan says it should have been removed after the comfort-women accord was signed, but Seoul argued it had only agreed to look into the possibility of moving it.

For the past year, activists have maintained a 24-hour vigil to prevent the statue being taken away.

More than two dozen similar monuments have been erected around South Korea, and another dozen or so abroad in the United States, Canada and elsewhere.
