Background: The impact of COVID-19 on physical function (PF) outcomes among older adults remains unclear. We examined the long-term association between COVID, PF, and Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) among women from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI).
Methods: Participants from the WHI who completed the COVID-19 survey (2021-2022) and annual survey (2022) were included.
Objective: To examine the association between various sociodemographic factors with alcohol and tobacco use behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: Participants from Ohio and Indiana were asked to participate in the 'Impact of COVID-19 on the Cancer Continuum Consortium' study (N = 32,989) from June-November 2020. Those who completed the survey and responded to key study questions were included (n = 5,374).
Article Synopsis
- This study explored the link between sleep characteristics and the development of treated diabetes in postmenopausal individuals aged 50-79 years over an average follow-up of 18.1 years.
- Results revealed that those sleeping 5 hours or less faced a 21% increased risk of diabetes compared to those sleeping 7 hours, while those sleeping 9 hours or more had a slight, non-significant increased risk.
- Additionally, participants experiencing a decrease in sleep duration over 3 years had a 9% higher diabetes risk, and those with sleep-disordered breathing at baseline had a 31% greater risk compared to those without it.
Purpose: Short and long sleep duration and poor sleep quality are risk factors for weight gain and cancer mortality. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between sleep and weight change among postmenopausal breast cancer survivors.
Methods: Women participating in the Women's Health Initiative who were diagnosed with incident breast cancer between year one and year three were included.
