Summary: This study aimed to investigate the interaction of depression and diets on cardiovascular diseases (CVD) incident and death in China. The study found that depression significantly increased the risk of CVD in the unhealthy diet group, suggesting that depressive individuals should focus on healthy diets, especially the intake of vegetables and polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Summary: This study examined the impact of healthy behaviors and socioeconomic status (SES) on respiratory disease mortality using a UK biobank. The results showed that both low SES and fewer healthy behaviors were associated with an increased risk of respiratory disease mortality, particularly in young men.

Summary: Analysis of large-scale data from double-blind, randomized controlled trials did not find an association between beta-blocker therapy and depression. Similarly, beta-blockers showed no effect on other psychiatric adverse events, except for a possible link with sleep-related disorders. Therefore, concerns about the impact of beta-blockers on mental health should not affect their clinical use.

Summary: In Australia, inequalities in mortality rates for specific non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among individuals aged 35-74 widened from 2006-2016, particularly in terms of area socioeconomic quintiles and urban-rural disparities. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality inequalities were especially pronounced, and there was a significant increase in smoking-related mortality inequalities. NCD mortality rates were higher outside major cities, with these differences widening over the past decade.

Summary: Why does lower socioeconomic status contribute to higher rates of depression and is this depression the same or different from that found in higher socioeconomic levels? We found that amygdala volume, a risk factor for depression, does not interact with socioeconomic status or mediate its relation to depression. Instead, socioeconomic status and amygdala volume are independent, additive risk factors, associated with different depression symptoms. Perceived stress fully mediates the relation between socioeconomic status and depression but has no relation to amygdala volume. These findings suggest that depression is heterogeneous across the socioeconomic spectrum, with implications for treatment selection and future genetic and brain studies.

Summary: The study found associations between socioeconomic status (SES), sleep disorders, and depression, with low SES, sleep problems, insufficient sleep, and excessive sleep all linked to increased prevalence of depression. A significant U-shaped relationship was observed between sleep time and depression, with combined effects of SES and sleep issues impacting depression.

Summary: Universal lowering of blood pressure thresholds for defining hypertension would have a tremendous impact on hypertension prevalence globally, with significant disparities between countries and substantial heterogeneity in phenotypic and demographic patterns. These findings should be confirmed in dedicated population studies.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between changes in metabolic syndrome (MetS) status and the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease-related mortality. A prospective cohort study was conducted with 544,749 participants who underwent a comprehensive health surveillance program. The results showed that recovery from MetS was associated with a lower risk of all-cause and CVD mortality, while the development of MetS increased the risk.

Summary: This study investigated the sleep quality and influencing factors among clinical nurses in infectious disease hospitals. The findings showed that decreased sleep quality is common among clinical nurses and is positively correlated with anxiety and depression. These results highlight the importance of paying attention to nurses' sleep quality and implementing effective interventions.

Summary: This study found that both low socioeconomic status (SES) and poor cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) were associated with higher all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality. Moderate-to-high levels of CRF were associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality.

Summary: This large prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the associations between depression, low socioeconomic status (SES), and the risk of major cardiovascular events (MCVE). The study found that depression, low education, high deprivation, and low income were individually associated with increased risks of MCVE. Depression was associated with increased risks of MCVE in individuals with both high and low SES, with particularly high risks among those living in areas of high deprivation.

Summary: This study found that maintaining a higher cardiovascular health (CVH) score can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortality. The study also found that the duration of maintaining a favorable CVH status is associated with the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and mortality. The results indicate that maintaining a better CVH status for more than 6 years can lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortality.

Summary: Depression after ACS is associated with cardiac events and mortality risk. The study found that the anhedonic subtype of depression did not uniquely predict the occurrence of cardiac events and mortality, but moderate-to-severe levels of self-reported depressive symptoms may be associated with increased risk.

Summary: Eating disorders are psychiatric conditions that disturb eating or eating-related behaviors and impair physical and psychosocial functioning. The prevalence of these disorders is relatively high, and they are associated with various health problems. This article evaluates the benefits and harms of screening for eating disorders in adolescents and adults with a normal or high body mass index, and concludes that there is insufficient evidence to determine the balance of benefits and harms.

Summary: This study aims to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a remotely delivered personalized behavioral intervention to increase low-intensity physical activity in middle-aged and older adults. The intervention will be administered over 10 weeks, and data will be collected through wearable activity trackers, email, SMS text messages, and surveys. The results will inform the design and scale-up of future interventions.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of personalized interventions for improving sleep quality. Participants will receive different interventions of 3 mg melatonin, 0.5 mg melatonin, and placebo based on random allocation. The effectiveness of the intervention will be assessed through self-reported sleep quality and duration, as well as Fitbit tracker-measured sleep duration and efficiency. The trial is currently ongoing.
