Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a common complaint in the general population and is associated with cardiovascular disease and increased mortality. We aimed to investigate whether sleep duration is related to excessive daytime sleepiness in the general population, both in itself and in combination with other factors. We performed a cross-sectional analysis in the population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) cohort (n = 27,976; 14,436 females; aged 50-64 years) to assess how sleep-related factors along with anthropometric, lifestyle, socioeconomic factors as well as somatic disease and psychological distress, were related with EDS assessed by the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS).

- Recent research indicates that the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, and personalized nutrition based on microbiome profiles could offer health benefits.
- In a clinical trial involving 30 participants with type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidaemia, one group received nutrition tailored to their microbiome, while the other received standard diabetic guidance.
- Results showed significant health improvements in the personalized nutrition group, including a drop in HbA1c levels, reduced systolic blood pressure, and decreased C-reactive protein levels over 90 days.
