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.
Article Synopsis
- High levels of stress are common among college students, and inadequate sleep can increase their stress vulnerability; this study investigates how self-control and resilience impact this relationship.
- A survey and wristband tracking were used to analyze the sleep quality and duration of 32 first-year students, revealing significant correlations between perceived stress and factors like resilience, self-control, and sleep duration.
- The results indicate that resilience mediates the relationship between sleep and perceived stress, while self-control directly influences resilience, highlighting the importance of good sleep for enhancing stress resilience in students.*
Gender-based violence (GBV) and cyber-aggression are growing problems in Mexico, but there is a dearth of information on their associated risks. We aimed to determine the prevalence of dating violence (DV) and cyber-aggression in a public campus and compared students' acceptability of abusive DV based on their sex and sexual orientation. We employed a cross-sectional design to survey 964 first-year medical students attending a public university.

- The study investigates the relationship between cognitive reserve (CR) and subjective memory complaints (SMC) in functionally independent older women aged 60 and above.
- Researchers analyzed data from 269 participants who completed cognitive evaluations and questionnaires about their memory.
- Findings suggest that lower CR is associated with a higher likelihood of experiencing SMC, regardless of other factors like cognitive function, depression symptoms, or daily living activities.
