BackgroundThe causal associations of physical activity and sedentary behavior with the risk gastrointestinal disease are unclear. We performed a Mendelian randomization analysis to examine these associations.MethodsGenetic instruments associated leisure screen time (LST, an indicator lifestyle) moderate-to-vigorous intensity (MVPA) at genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10−8) level were selected from association study. Summary statistics for diseases obtained UK Biobank study, FinnGen large consortia. Multivariable MR analyses conducted genetically determined LST adjustment MVPA vice versa. also multivariable proxied smoking, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, type 2 diabetes, fasting insulin both exposures.FindingsGenetically longer was increased reflux, gastric ulcer, duodenal chronic gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticular disease, Crohn's ulcerative colitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver alcoholic cholangitis, cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, acute pancreatitis, appendicitis.

Daily exposure to virtual nature reduces symptoms of anxiety in college students

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(1)

Published: Jan. 23, 2023

Exposure to natural environments offers an array of mental health benefits. Virtual reality provides simulated experiences being in nature when outdoor access is limited. Previous studies on virtual have focused mainly single "doses" nature. The effects repeated exposure remain poorly understood. Motivated by this gap, we studied the influence a daily intervention symptoms anxiety, depression, and underlying cause poor health: rumination. Forty college students (58% non-Hispanic White, median age = 19) were recruited from two U.S. universities randomly assigned or control group. Over several weeks, anxious arousal (panic) apprehension (worry) decreased with exposure. Participants identifying as women, past VR users, experienced outdoors, engaged beauty benefited particularly strongly did not help anhedonic depression Further research necessary distinguish for whom interventions impact outcomes.
