Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to first establish an algorithm for estimating circadian rhythmicity from a limited number of samples using previously obtained gene profile data from young and elderly individuals. Subsequently, the study will attempt to establish reference values for age-dependent rhythmicity by collecting a small number of blood samples from healthy adults across multiple age groups. Additionally, rhythmicity assessments will be conducted in diabetic patients, a population strongly suspected to have impaired circadian function, to investigate the presence of disease-specific effects on circadian rhythms.

Study 1: Estimation of Rhythmicity Using a Limited Number of Samples
An algorithm will be developed to estimate circadian rhythmicity using one or two time points from previously obtained gene profile data. This dataset includes up to 13 time points of gene expression profiles collected from seven young and seven elderly individuals under both simulated daily life conditions and constant environmental conditions.

Study 2: Establishment of Reference Values Across Age Groups
Thirty healthy adult males will participate in a study conducted at National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry. Blood samples will be collected at two optimized time points, spaced several hours apart, as determined during algorithm development.
Prior to sampling, participants will record their sleep habits at home for 14 days using sleep diaries and actigraphy. Additionally, they will complete questionnaires related to sleep and circadian rhythms (MEQ, MCTQ, PSQI).
On the day of sampling, participants will visit the laboratory at the National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry, where two blood samples (5.5 mL each) will be drawn at the optimized time intervals. After the second blood draw, participants will be discharged. During the waiting period between blood draws, participants will be allowed to engage in free activities while remaining seated in the sampling area. If required due to the sampling interval, meals and water will be provided.

Study 3: Evaluation in Diabetic Patients
Diabetic inpatients at Kawaguchi Municipal Medical Center will undergo blood sampling at two optimized time points, spaced several hours apart, as determined during algorithm development. Since the study targets hospitalized patients, sleep and circadian rhythm assessments using home-based records will not be conducted.
