Summary: This study investigated the sleep and napping habits of Brazilian adolescents and found that less than one-third of the sample achieved the recommended amount of sleep for adolescents; the majority of participants reported napping habits, with over a quarter of nappers reporting prolonged nap times; nappers had later bedtimes, shorter sleep durations, increased daytime sleepiness, and poorer sleep quality compared to non-nappers.

Summary: The study aimed to explore the relationship between chronic breathlessness and sleep problems independently of diagnoses and health service contact by surveying a large, representative sample of the general population. The results showed a strong association between chronic breathlessness and sleep problems, with individuals with sleep problems more likely to have breathlessness, be older with higher BMI, and females more likely to have current sleep problems. Adjusted odds ratios indicated that respondents with chronic breathlessness had a higher likelihood of both past and current sleep problems. Future work will focus on understanding the causal relationship between the two conditions.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of sleep problems and associated risk factors among a representative sample of the general population in Hong Kong. The results showed that sleep problems were highly prevalent, with significant associations found between sleep problems and factors such as gender, income, education level, and mental and physical health conditions. Harmful alcohol consumption, insufficient physical activity, and smoking were identified as modifiable risk factors for sleep disturbances.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of sleep problems and associated risk factors in the general population of Hong Kong. The results showed that sleep problems are highly prevalent in Hong Kong and are associated with various health conditions. Harmful alcohol consumption, insufficient physical activity, and smoking were identified as modifiable risk factors for sleep disturbances. Public health campaigns should focus on these risk factors to promote a healthy lifestyle and reduce sleep disturbances.

Summary: The study found differences in sleep patterns among Italian adolescents of different age groups, with the 16-year-old group having the worst sleep quality, the 18-19-year-old group having the highest rate of inadequate sleep, and the 17-year-old group having the most difficulty waking up in the morning. The results demonstrate a significant impact of pre-sleep habits, particularly the use of technology, on adolescent sleep.

Summary: Chronic comorbidities pose barriers to periodic guideline-recommended colorectal cancer screening, resulting in significantly lower testing rates for individuals with various comorbidities. The presence of both medical and mental comorbidities is associated with even lower testing rates than having either type of comorbidity alone.

Summary: The age-adjusted hospitalization rates for CD, UC, and non-IBD patients with hip fractures in 2017 were 1.15, 0.86, and 0.59 respectively. Rates decreased from 2000 to 2012 and then increased from 2012 to 2017 for CD and UC. CD patients had longer hospital stays, while UC patients were more likely to have 30-day readmissions, longer hospital stays, and less likely to have 30-day mortality compared to matched cohorts.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of migraine or severe headache among US adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and found a higher prevalence of migraine among patients with IBD compared to those without IBD. The results suggest that healthcare providers should assess migraine or severe headache among patients with IBD to improve management and quality of life.
