Abstract
To investigate the causal relationship between sleep duration and heart failure (HF) in a European population. We focused on the continuous sleep duration of 460,099 European individuals as our primary exposure. Genome-wide significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, n = 9851,867) linked to continuous sleep duration were adopted as instrumental variables. The outcome of interest was based on HF events in a European cohort (n = 977,323; with 930,014 controls and 47,309 cases). We employed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to infer causality between sleep duration and the incidence of HF. For validation purposes, an additional cohort of 336,965 European individuals diagnosed with insomnia was selected as a secondary exposure group. Using its SNPs, a subsequent two-sample MR analysis was conducted with the HF cohort to further corroborate our initial findings. Employing the MR methodology, we selected 57 SNPs that are associated with sleep duration, and 24 SNPs that are associated with insomnia as instrumental variables. We discerned a substantial association between genetically inferred sleep duration and HF risk (odds ratio: 0.61; 95% confidence interval: 0.47-0.78, P < .0001). Our subsequent analysis highlighted a pronounced increased HF risk associated with insomnia (odds ratio: 1.54; 95% confidence interval: 1.08-2.17, P < .02). These conclusions were further bolstered by consistent results from sensitivity analyses. Our study suggests a causal linkage between sleep duration and the onset risk of HF in the European population. Notably, shorter sleep durations were associated with a heightened risk of HF.

[PMID: 39169268 DOI: 10.1038/s43587-024-00688-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024]
Abstract
Extensive evidence shows the beneficial effect of adhering to a regular physical activity (PA) pattern on brain health. However, whether the 'weekend warrior' pattern, characterized by concentrated moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) over 1-2 days, is associated with brain health is unclear. Here, we perform a prospective cohort study including 75,629 participants from the UK Biobank with validated accelerometry data. Individuals were classified into three PA patterns using current guideline thresholds: inactive (<150 min week-1 of MVPA), weekend warrior (≥150 min week-1 with ≥50% of total MVPA occurring within 1-2 days) and regularly active (≥150 min week-1 but not meeting weekend warrior criteria). We find that the weekend warrior pattern is associated with similarly lower risks of dementia, stroke, Parkinson's disease, depressive disorders and anxiety compared to a regularly active pattern. Our findings highlight the weekend warrior pattern as a potential alternative in preventive intervention strategies, particularly for those unable to maintain daily activity routines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies only focused on the individual social factors, without considering the overall social health patterns. The present study aimed to develop an integrated social health score (SHS) and investigate its associations with all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer mortality. METHODS A total of 330,716 participants (mean age 56.3 years; 52.4 % female) from UK Biobank was included between 2006 and 2010, and thereafter followed up to 2021. SHS was calculated by using information on social connections, social engagement and social support. Cox proportional hazards models was used to estimate the hazard ratios and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) of the association between SHS and all-cause and cause-specific mortality and the 4-way decomposition was used to quantify the mediating effect of lifestyle factors. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 12.4 years, 37,897 death cases were recorded, including 4347 CVD and 10,380 cancer cases. The SHS was inversely associated with the risks of all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality in a dose-dependent manner (P for trend <0.001). The association between SHS with all-cause mortality was mediated by lifestyle factors including diet score, smoking status and alcohol consumption. CONCLUSION Integrated SHS was inversely associated with risks of all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality, and the associations were partially mediated by lifestyle factors. Our study highlights the importance of maintaining high levels of social health by jointly enhancing social involvement, expanding social networks, and cultivating enduring intimate relationships across the life course.

Abstract
Objective The effect of environmental pollution on sleep has been widely studied, yet the relationship between exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sleep health requires further exploration. We aimed to investigate the single and mixed effect of urinary VOC metabolites on sleep health and identify potential mediators. Methods Data for this cross-sectional study was collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) (2005-2006, 2011-2014). A weighted multivariate logistic regression was established to explore the associations of 16 VOCs with four sleep outcomes. Following the selection of important VOCs through the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, principal component analyses (PCA), weight quantile sum (WQS), and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) analyses were conducted to explore the associations between exposure to single and mixed VOCs and sleep outcomes, as well as identify the most contributing components. A mediation analysis was performed to explore the potential effect of depression scores. Results Of the 3,473 participants included in the study, a total of 618 were diagnosed with poor sleep patterns. In logistic regression analyses, 7, 10, 1, and 5 VOCs were significantly positively correlated with poor sleep patterns, abnormal sleep duration, trouble sleeping, and sleep disorders, respectively. The PCA analysis showed that PC1 was substantially linked to a higher risk of poor sleep patterns and its components. The WQS model revealed a positive association between VOC mixture of increased concentrations and poor sleep patterns [OR (95% CI): 1.285 (1.107, 1.493)], abnormal sleep duration [OR (95% CI): 1.154 (1.030, 1.295)], trouble sleeping [OR (95% CI): 1.236 (1.090, 1.403)] and sleep disorders [OR (95% CI): 1.378 (1.118, 1.705)]. The BKMR model found positive associations of the overall VOC exposure with poor sleep patterns, trouble sleeping, and sleep disorders. PCA, WQS, and BKMR models all confirmed the significant role of N-acetyl-S-(N-methylcarbamoyl)-l-cysteine (AMCC) in poor sleep patterns and its components. The depression score was a mediator between the positive VOC mixture index and the four sleep outcomes. Conclusion Exposure to single and mixed VOCs negatively affected the sleep health of American population, with AMCC playing a significant role. The depression score was shown to mediate the associations of VOC mixtures with poor sleep patterns and its components.

Abstract
Physical activity (PA) has been shown to reduce diabetes mortality, but largely based on imprecise self-reported data, which may hinder the development of related recommendations. Here, we perform a prospective cohort study of 19,624 individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) from the UK Biobank with a median follow-up of 6.9 years. Duration and intensity of PA are measured by wrist-worn accelerometers over a 7-day period. We observe L-shaped associations of longer duration of PA, regardless of PA intensity, with risks of all-cause and cancer mortality, as well as a negatively linear association with cardiovascular disease mortality. 12.7%, 15.8%, and 22.3% of deaths are attributable to the lowest level of light-intensity, moderate-intensity PA, and vigorous-intensity PA, respectively. Collectively, our findings provide insights for clinical guidelines that should highlight the potential value of adherence to greater intensity and duration of PA for patients with T2D.

Abstract
Background Depressive symptoms are established risk factors for various health outcomes. However, previous studies assessed depressive symptoms at a single time point, neglecting individual variations over time. Aims To identify depressive symptoms trajectories through repeated measures and examine their associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer and mortality. Methods This study included 20 634 UK Biobank participants free of CVD and cancer at baseline with two or more assessments of depressive symptoms during 2006-2016. Group-based trajectory modelling identified depressive symptoms trajectories. Incident CVD, cancer and mortality were followed up until 2021 through linked registries. Results Six depressive symptoms trajectories were identified: no symptoms (n=6407), mild-stable (n=11 539), moderate-stable (n=2183), severe-decreasing (n=206), moderate-increasing (n=177) and severe-stable (n=122). During a median follow-up of 5.5 years, 1471 CVD cases, 1275 cancer cases and 503 deaths were documented. Compared with the no symptoms trajectory, the mild-stable, moderate-stable and severe-stable trajectories exhibited higher CVD risk, with hazard ratios (HRs) (95% CIs) of 1.19 (1.06 to 1.34), 1.32 (1.08 to 1.34) and 2.99 (1.85 to 4.84), respectively. Moderate-increasing and severe-stable trajectories were associated with higher mortality risks, with HRs (95% CIs) of 2.27 (1.04 to 4.93) and 3.26 (1.55 to 6.88), respectively. However, the severe-decreasing trajectory was not associated with higher risks of adverse outcomes. We did not find significant associations between any trajectory and cancer. Conclusions Trajectories related to stable and increasing depressive symptoms, but not the trajectory associated with severe depressive symptoms at the initial assessment but decreasing at the follow-up, were associated with higher risks of CVD and mortality. Alleviating severe depressive symptoms at the initial onset may mitigate CVD and mortality risks.

Abstract
Background Sleep quality can offer new insights into addressing depression among stroke patients. However, the current understanding of the mechanism by which sleep quality reduces depression is not clear in existing research. Objectives This study aimed to identify the relationships and mechanisms among perceived stress, sleep quality, social support, and depression in stroke patients. Methods A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted from January to May 2023. Cluster random sampling was used to recruit 500 stroke patients from five hospitals in Henan Province, China. The Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-24) were employed to assess perceived stress, sleep quality, social support, and depression, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, Pearson's correlation analysis, and moderated mediation analysis. The study adhered to the STROBE checklist for reporting. Results Out of 500 participants, 471 completed the survey (94.2%). After controlling for sex and age, mediation analysis revealed that poor sleep quality partially mediated the relationship between perceived stress and depression (β = 0.184, 95% CI: 0.110, 0.359). Additionally, social support played a moderating role in the mediation model. Conclusion This study explained the moderated mediation of sleep quality and social support between perceived stress and depression. It provided a theoretical basis for the development of a sleep quality intervention program for reducing depression among stroke patients.
