Purpose: Examining the associations between sleep duration and lifestyle risk factors and assessed whether sex modify such associations among U.S. adolescents.
Design: Cross-sectional study among high school students from the 2015-19 national Youth Risk Behavior Survey.
Setting: US, national.
Subjects: High school students grade 9-12 (n = 31 871).
Measures: Students reported hours of sleep on an average school night categorized into "less than 6 hours", "6 to 7 hours" and "8 hours and more". Lifestyle risk factors including physical inactivity, insufficient breakfast consumption, current tobacco use, and current binge drinking were self-reported and dichotomized.
Analysis: Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate associations between sleep duration and lifestyle risk factors, adjusting for confounders.
Results: Compared to students with 8 hours and more of sleep, students with 6 to 7 hours and less than 6 hours of sleep had 79% and 228% ( < .01) increased odds of insufficient breakfast consumption; and had 22% ( = 0.0014) and 74% ( < .01) increased odds of binge drinking, respectively. There is a significant interaction between sleep duration and sex ( < .05) for physical inactivity and current tobacco use.
Conclusion: Insufficient sleep is common among US adolescents and is associated with increased risks of multiple lifestyle risk factors, which suggests great needs for multilevel interventions to address sleep deprivation and promote good sleep hygiene among adolescents.

Menopause is a complex period in women's life, when weight gain and predisposition to obesity are frequent. Moreover, even during menopause transition, women begin to lose lean mass up to 0.5% and, therefore, an increase in the percentage of fat mass with central distribution and an increased risk of metabolic syndrome.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex psychiatric condition significantly impacted by environmental stress and inflammation. Previous research suggests that stress-induced alterations in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) may allow pro-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-6 (IL-6) to enter the brain, contributing to depression. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is another prominent cytokine implicated in depression, but its role in the context of BBB integrity and stress-mediated depression remains unclear.

Liver transplantation (LT) is a cost-effective therapy for advanced liver disease. Although LT significantly improves long-term survival, it requires strict control of immunosuppressants and their potential complications. Several available immunosuppressive drugs include glucocorticoids, calcineurin inhibitors, mycophenolate, mTOR inhibitors, and anti-CD25 antibodies.

Introduction: The societal costs of dementia and cognitive decline are substantial and likely to increase during the next decades due to the increasing number of people in older age groups. The aim of this multicenter cluster-randomized controlled trial was to assess the cost-effectiveness of a multi-domain intervention to prevent cognitive decline in older people who are at risk for dementia.
Methods: We used data from a multi-centric, two-armed, cluster-randomized controlled trial ( trial, ID: DRKS00013555).

Introduction Rising prevalence rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), particularly in younger populations, have made early-onset T2DM (diagnosed before age 40) an increasingly significant health concern. Early-onset T2DM is often associated with more rapid progression and increased complications, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, its specific impact on cardiovascular outcomes remains inadequately understood, particularly compared to T2DM in older populations.
