Associations of accelerometer-measured weekend sleep catch-up and loss with risk of type 2 diabetes: a prospective cohort study.

Aims: To investigate the relationship between weekend sleep catch-up and loss and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods: This study included 80,414 adults aged 43-79 years from the UK Biobank. Weekend sleep catch-up and loss were derived from wrist-worn accelerometer data.

Alpha-Linolenic Acid and Mortality Among Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: Findings From Two National Cohorts.

Background: Dietary alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) regulates lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity, but few studies have investigated the association between ALA and the risk of mortality among adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study examines whether increasing dietary ALA intake contributes to the long-term survival of adults with T2D.

Methods: This cohort study included 9603 participants with T2D, including 7953 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; 1999-2018) and 1650 adults from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS; 1997-2011).

The relationship of fish oil supplements and plasma fatty acids with lung function decline.

Purpose: Fish oil supplements and plasma fatty acid levels were reported to be associated with lung function. We aimed to investigate the association of fish oil supplements and plasma fatty acids with lung function.

Methods: We included 248,133 participants with complete data on relative index of plasma fatty acids from the UK Biobank.

Association of biomass fuel use with the risk of vision impairment among Chinese older adults: a cohort study.

Cooking with biomass fuels has been reported to have adverse effects on health. This study aims to explore the association between cooking with biomass fuels and vision impairment among Chinese older adults aged 65 years and above. This cohort study drew on data from the 2011/2012 wave and the 2014 follow-up wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey.

Evaluation of Sleep Habits and Disturbances Among US Adults, 2017-2020.

Importance: Unhealthy sleep behaviors and sleep disturbances are associated with higher risk of multiple diseases and mortality. The current profiles of sleep habits and disturbances, particularly the differences between workdays and free days, are unknown in the contemporary US.

Objective: To comprehensively evaluate sleep habits on workdays and free days and the prevalence of sleep disturbances among US adults.

Occupational stress and associated factors among general practitioners in China: a national cross-sectional study.

Background: Occupational stress among general practitioners (GPs) is a public health concern. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with occupational stress among GPs in China.

Methods: A cross-sectional design was used.

Bidirectional Mendelian randomization to explore the causal relationships between Sleep traits, Parkinson's disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Objective: Sleep disturbances have been linked with Parkinson's disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in observational studies, and the comorbidity of PD and ALS has been reported in clinical case reports, but the causalities remain unclear. This study aims to examine bidirectional causal relationships between sleep traits, PD and ALS.

Methods: Bidirectional two sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) analyses were conducted, with data from individuals of mainly European ancestry.

Prevalence and associated factors for workplace violence among general practitioners in China: a national cross-sectional study.

Background: General practitioners (GPs) were at risk of violence in their everyday working lives. Workplace violence (WPV) among GPs is a global public health concern. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with WPV among GPs in China.

Association of food groups with the risk of cognitive impairment in Chinese older adults.

Objective: To investigate the impact of 10 common foods (including staple foods, fruits, vegetables, sugar, meat, fish, eggs, beans, salt-preserved vegetables, and garlic) on cognitive function in Chinese older adults.

Methods: Cross-sectional data on demographic characteristics, lifestyle, and dietary habits were taken from the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Cognition was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).

Maternal long working hours and offspring's weight-related outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

It is unclear whether maternal working time has an impact on offspring's weight-related outcomes especially obesity; the objective of this study is to conduct the first meta-analysis to focus on this topic. We searched PubMed, Ovid, and Web of Science databases through August 2021. A random-effect model was used to assess the pooled odds ratios (ORs) and regression coefficients (β) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs).

Association between self-reported depression and risk of all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality.

Background: Depression is a prevalent and disabling mental disorder that frequently co-occurs with a wide range of chronic conditions. Past evidence suggests that depression could be associated with the all-cause mortality and other disease mortality in Western populations, but little is known about the relationship in the Chinese population. Therefore, we investigated the associations between self-reported depression and all-cause and specific-cause mortality in Chinese adult populations.

Cooking with biomass fuels and mortality among Chinese elderly people: A prospective cohort study.

This study used data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (n = 9765, age 65+) to investigate the impact of biomass fuels on the mortality of the Chinese elderly population. The association between biomass fuels and mortality was examined using a Cox proportional hazards model. We evaluated the difference in risk of death between those who switched fuel types from biomass to clean fuels and from clean to biomass fuels versus those who did not during the follow-up period.

Willingness to seek medical care for tuberculosis and associated factors among the elderly population in Shenzhen: a cross-sectional study.

Objectives: This study was aimed to assess the willingness of elderly people to seek medical care for tuberculosis (TB) and the associated influencing factors.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Setting: A multistage random survey was conducted in Bao'an District of Shenzhen in China.

Dose-response association of early-life antibiotic exposure and subsequent overweight or obesity in children: A meta-analysis of prospective studies.

The objective of this study is to investigate the dose-response relationship between antibiotic exposure in early life and the risk of subsequent overweight or obesity. Electronic databases were searched from inception to December 2020. Prospective studies that reported the odds ratios (ORs) of childhood overweight or obesity for three or more quantitative categories of antibiotic exposure were identified.
