Background: The aim of this study was to explore the associations between various sleep-related factors and bladder cancer risk. These factors included sleep duration, ease of getting up in the morning, daytime napping, insomnia, snoring, daytime dozing, and chronotype.
Methods: This study is cross-sectional, and the data were obtained from UK Biobank.
The kynurenine pathway and markers of neurodegeneration and cerebral small vessel disease: The Maastricht Study.

Background: The kynurenine pathway, the main metabolic pathway of tryptophan degradation, has been mostly studied in neurodegenerative disorders, while its role in cerebrovascular pathology is less clear. We investigated whether kynurenines are associated with markers of neurodegeneration and cerebrovascular pathology in the general population.
Methods: Cross-sectional data was used from 1589 individuals (60.

A meta-analysis published in 2018 indicated a significant association between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and risk of urologic cancers (UC). The number of included studies was limited, and more research has been published on this topic since then. The current study aimed to find a more precise estimate of the association between dietary inflammatory potential and risk of UC by updating the previous meta-analysis.

Background & Aims: Diet may play an essential role in the aetiology of bladder cancer (BC). Vitamin D is involved in various biological functions which have the potential to prevent BC development. Besides, vitamin D also influences the uptake of calcium and phosphorus, thereby possibly indirectly influencing the risk of BC.

Article Synopsis
- Drinking more tea might help lower the chance of getting bladder cancer, especially in men and people who smoke.
- The study looked at data from almost 533,000 people to see how much tea they drank and their risk of bladder cancer.
- More tea drinkers had a lower risk of bladder cancer compared to people who didn't drink tea, but the effects could be different for men, women, and smokers.

Background: Moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) can help to prevent depression, but identification of the most important psycho-biological pathways involved is unclear. The improvement of cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF) in response to MVPA can vary markedly, we therefore examined the association between CRF and the incidence of depressive symptoms.
Methods: We used data from The Maastricht Study, a large population-based prospective-cohort study.
