| It is anticipated that participants experiencing sleep and circadian rhythm disruption (SCRD) will exhibit downregulation of SIRT1 gene expression, along with a noticeable reduction in Twak Sara characteristics, in comparison to those without circadian disruption (non-SCRD group). It is expected that individuals with lower Twak Sara scores will show features consistent with accelerated cellular aging among SCRD participants.Timepoint: 12 months | — |
