Association Between Daily Internet Use and Incidence of Chronic Diseases Among Older Adults: Prospective Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Internet Research, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 25, P. e46298 - e46298

Published: June 19, 2023

Background Chronic disease incidence among the elderly is increasing, which correlated with acceleration of population aging. Evolving internet technologies may help prevent and provide interventions for chronic diseases in an accelerating aging process. However, impact daily use on not well understood. Objective This study aims to investigate whether by middle-aged older adults inhibit or promote occurrence diseases. Methods We included participants from China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), a longitudinal survey Chinese residents aged ≥45 years. assessed 8-year data wave 1 (June 2011-March 2012) 4 (July-September 2018) CHARLS. Data were used cross-sectional study, all waves study. Self-reported track variables, including use, frequency, different Cox proportional hazards modeling was applied examine relationship between adults, while adjusting sociodemographic characteristics health behaviors. In addition, analyze usage trends, factors influencing use. Results Among 20,113 analyses, increased significantly, 2% 12.3%, 2011 2018. The adjusted model found statistically significant relationships lower following diseases: hypertension (hazard ratio [HR] 0.78, 95% CI 0.65-0.95, P=.01), lung (HR 0.74, 0.57-0.97, P=.03), stroke 0.69, 0.50-0.94, P=.02), digestive 0.73, 0.58-0.91, P=.005), memory-related disorders 0.58, 0.37-0.91, arthritis rheumatism 0.60, 0.48-0.76, P<.001), asthma 0.52, 0.33-0.84, P=.007), depression 0.80, 0.71-0.89, vision impairment 0.83, 0.74-0.93, P=.004). Moreover, our also showed that increasing frequency risk some decreases.

The role of the GABAergic system on insomnia

Tzu Chi Medical Journal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 36(2), P. 103 - 109

Published: March 25, 2024

Sleep is an essential activity for the survival of mammals. Good sleep quality helps promote performance daily functions. In contrast, insufficient reduces efficiency activities, causes various chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, and increases risk having accidents. The GABAergic system primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in central nervous system. It transits gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) via GABA A B receptors to counterbalance excitatory neurotransmitters, such as glutamate, noradrenaline, serotonin, acetylcholine, orexin, dopamine, which release increase arousal activities during sleep. Several studies emphasized that dysfunction related insomnia, most prevalent sleep-related disorder. comprises neurotransmitter, receptors, synthesis, degradation. Many have demonstrated levels correlate with quality, suggesting modulating may be a promising therapeutic approach insomnia. this article, we highlight significance sleep, classification pathology impact changes on addition, also review medications target systems including benzodiazepines (BZDs), non-BZDs, barbiturates, supplements, Chinese herbal medicines.

Light Pollution and Oxidative Stress: Effects on Retina and Human Health

Antioxidants, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(3), P. 362 - 362

Published: March 18, 2024

Visible light refers to the frequencies within electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see, encompassing radiation with wavelengths falling between 380 nm 760 nm. The energy of a single photon increases its frequency. In retina, photoreceptor cells contain light-sensitive pigments absorb and convert it into electrical stimuli through process known as phototransduction. However, since absorption photoreceptors closely aligns blue (ranging from 400 500 nm), exposure high intensities or continuous illumination result in oxidative stress these cells, leading loss their functionality. Apart retina also houses photosensitive ganglion intrinsically retinal (ipRGCs). These relay information suprachiasmatic nucleus brain, playing crucial role modulating melatonin secretion, which turn helps synchronizing body’s circadian rhythms responses seasonal changes. Both, ipRGCs skin possess peak sensitivity wavelengths, rendering them particularly susceptible effects excessive exposure. This study delves consequences and/or prolonged on function explores implications for human health.
