Background: Smartphones, internet access, and social media represent a new form of problematic behavior and can affect how teens sleep.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed to examine the prevalence and association of problematic internet use and problematic smartphone use with sleep quality in a non-probability sample of 190 high school students in Mexico. The internet-related experiences questionnaire (IREQ), the mobile-related experiences questionnaire (MREQ), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used.
Article Synopsis
- The world is facing an aging population with increased feelings of loneliness, especially in older individuals with mild neurocognitive disorders; functional impairment in daily activities plays a significant role in this.
- A study conducted from February to December 2023 examined the connections between loneliness, depression, daily living deficits, and cognitive symptoms in older adults, involving interviews and established scales to measure these factors.
- Results showed that 30% of participants experienced moderate to high loneliness levels, and loneliness was linked to depression and lower daily living skills, highlighting the importance of addressing these issues to improve overall health and well-being in older adults.

We employed a cross-sectional design to survey 964 first-year medical students attending a public university.
