Article Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to explore the interaction between obesity and sleep duration on urinary incontinence (UI) in adult women.

Methods: Data of adult females were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) database in 2005-2018 in this cross-sectional study. Weighted univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were utilized to screen covariates and investigate the associations of obesity and sleep duration with 3 types of UI, including stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urgency urinary incontinence (UUI), and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). In addition, the interaction effect between obesity and sleep duration on UI was assessed. The evaluation indexes were odd ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attributable proportion of interaction (AP), and synergy index (S).

Results: Among 13,692 eligible women, 6,063 had SUI, 4,370 had UUI, and 2,621 had MUI. After adjusting for the covariates, women with obesity had higher odds of SUI (OR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.59-2.00), UUI (OR = 1.84, 95% CI: 1.63-2.06), and MUI (OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.48-1.88), compared with those who without obesity. Similarly, comparing to adequate sleep, sleep deprivation and hypersomnia were both significantly linked to higher odds of all types of UI (all p < 0.05). The restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves showed that there is a U-shaped association of sleep duration with UUI and MUI, respectively (all non-line p < 0.05). In addition, there was a potential synergistic effect between obesity and hypersomnia on UUI (RERI = 0.576, AP = 0.243, and S = 1.729) and that on MUI (RERI = 0.821, AP = 0.339, and S = 2.373).

Conclusions: Obesity and hypersomnia had a potential synergistic effect on UI, especially UUI and MUI. Adult women should adopt measures to keep BMI within normal range, and timely intervene hypersomnia to reduce the possible risk of UI.

Importance: There is an unmet need for long-term, safe, effective, and hormone-free treatments for menopausal symptoms, including vasomotor symptoms (VMS) and sleep disturbances.

Objective: To evaluate the 52-week efficacy and safety of elinzanetant, a dual neurokinin-targeted therapy, for treating moderate to severe VMS associated with menopause.

Design, Setting, And Participants: OASIS-3 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase 3 clinical trial that was conducted at 83 sites in North America and Europe from August 27, 2021, to February 12, 2024, and included postmenopausal women aged 40 to 65 years who were seeking treatment for moderate to severe VMS (no requirement for a minimum number of VMS events per week).

Purpose Of Review: This paper aimed to estimate pooled bi-directional associations between multidimensional sleep health and substance use among youth and investigate whether these associations differed as a function of race/ethnicity.

Recent Findings: Empirical observational studies providing quantitative data on the association of sleep health (duration [sleep obtained per 24 hours], satisfaction [subjective assessment of sleep], alertness [ability to maintain attentive wakefulness], and timing [placement of sleep]) and substance use (i.e.

Explainable Machine Learning Assists in Revealing Associations Between Polysomnographic Biomarkers and Incident Type 2 Diabetes in Men.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) shows bidirectional relationships with polysomnographic measures. However, no studies have searched systematically for novel polysomnographic biomarkers of T2D. We therefore investigated if state-of-the-art explainable machine learning (ML) models could identify new polysomnographic biomarkers predictive of incident T2D.

Night shift and occupational fatigue among nurses who work 12 hours in Jeddah.

The ever-demanding job of nurses necessitates night shift work for 12 hours at various healthcare facilities to improve continuity of care. Working at night is associated with physical and mental stress as it disturbs circadian rhythm, affects sleep, influences dietary and eating routine, and impairs cognitive function. Nursing is a high-demand profession that requires working for longer hours, due to which, nurses are at increased risk of occupational fatigue.

Study Objectives: Research linking children's sleep to cognitive outcomes is inconsistent and has largely focused on one aspect of sleep, such as duration, rather than measuring multiple dimensions of sleep health. We hypothesized that children's sleep health would be positively associated with inhibitory control and cognitive functioning.

Method: We cross-sectionally assessed 1595 participants (ages 7-11) from the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes cohort using the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery, Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Sleep Health of Children and Adolescents questionnaire, and Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance/Sleep-related Impairment instruments.
