“…The causal mechanisms underlying the associations between sleep problems, psychosocial working conditions and sickness absence are likely complex. Risk factors for sleep problems are numerous and include age, alcohol-and caffeine intake, and obesity (19), but also occupational factors such as shift work and psychosocial working conditions (48). Furthermore, somatic and mental disorders may be associated with sleep problems (19,20), and it is possible that the observed association between sleep problems and long-term sickness absence could be due to sleep problems being a marker of other health problems or an early marker of the development of other as yet undetected health problems.…”

“…Risk factors for sleep problems are numerous and include age, alcohol-and caffeine intake, and obesity (19), but also occupational factors such as shift work and psychosocial working conditions (48). Furthermore, somatic and mental disorders may be associated with sleep problems (19,20), and it is possible that the observed association between sleep problems and long-term sickness absence could be due to sleep problems being a marker of other health problems or an early marker of the development of other as yet undetected health problems. Our results regarding the patterns of the joint associations did not change when adjusting for chronic somatic illness, poor mental health, and regular use of non-prescription pain medications, indicating that the effect-modification we observed was not due to underlying illness affecting both the risk of sleep problems and the ability to cope with the adverse psychosocial working conditions.…”

Joint association of sleep problems and psychosocial working conditions with registered long-term sickness absence. A Danish cohort study by Madsen IEH, Larsen AD, Thorsen SV, Pejtersen JH, Rugulies R, Sivertsen B Sleep problems and psychosocial working conditions interacted in their association with long-term sickness absence. To prevent long-term sickness absence among employees with sleep problems, workplace modifications focusing on quantitative demands, role conflict and supervisor recognition may be considered, and intervening on these factors may more effectively prevent long-term sickness absence when targeted towards employees with sleep problems. Affiliation 299Original article Scand J Work Environ Health. 2016;42(4):299-308. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3571 Joint association of sleep problems and psychosocial working conditions with registered long-term sickness absence. A Danish cohort study Objectives Sleep problems and adverse psychosocial working conditions are associated with increased risk of long-term sickness absence. Because sleep problems affect role functioning they may also exacerbate any effects of psychosocial working conditions and vice versa. We examined whether sleep problems and psychosocial working conditions interact in their associations with long-term sickness absence. MethodsWe linked questionnaire data from participants to two surveys of random samples of the Danish working population (N=10 752) with registries on long-term sick leave during five years after questionnaire response. We defined sleep problems by self-reported symptoms and/or register data on hypnotics purchases of hypnotics.Psychosocial working conditions included quantitative and emotional demands, influence, supervisor recognition and social support, leadership quality, and social support from colleagues. Using time-to-event models, we calculated hazard ratios (HR) and differences and examined interaction as departure from multiplicativity and additivity.Results During 40 165 person-years of follow-up, we identified 2313 episodes of long-terms sickness absence.Sleep problems predicted risk of long-term sickness absence [HR 1.54, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.38-1.73]. This association was statistically significantly stronger among participants with high quantitative demands and weaker among those with high supervisor recognition (P<0.0001).Conclusions High quantitative demands exacerbated the association of sleep problems with risk of long-term sickness absence whereas high supervisor recognition buffered this association. To prevent long-term sickness absence among employees with sleep problems, workplace modifications focusing on quantitative demands and supervisor recognition may be considered. Workplace interventions for these factors may more effectively prevent sickness absence when targeted at this group. The efficacy and effectiveness of such interventions needs to be established in future studies.

“…Indeed, women have insomnia more frequently than men [10,65], as well as higher prevalence rates of depression and anxiety, which may disrupt sleep [67], and of note, women have more nightmares than men [10,53]. Sleep profile is altered during the menstrual cycle, even in healthy women [64].…”

Could adult female acne be associated with modern life?

et al. 2014

In recent years, the prevalence of adult female acne has increased, but the reason for this increase remains unclear. Acne is one of the most common skin disorders. It can be triggered or worsened by endogenous and exogenous factors, including genetic predisposition, hormone concentrations, diet, smoke and stress; although the interaction with this last factor is not well understood. Modern life presents many stresses including urban noises, socioeconomic pressures and light stimuli. Women are especially affected by stress during daily routine. The recent insertion in the labor market is added to the duties of the mother and wife. Women also have a higher risk of developing psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety. Sleep restriction is added to these factors, with several negative consequences on health, including on hormonal secretion and the immune system. This is further complicated by the natural variation in sleep architecture across the menstrual cycle. Recent studies have brought new data about the mechanisms and possible factors involved. This review aims to establish a connection between stress, sleep deprivation and adult female acne.

“…On the other hand, studies have shown that sleep time has decreased in different countries [3][4][5] and insomnia is the most common sleep disorder in young and middle-aged adults 6 . Recently, studies have shown that sleep disorders in adults have been associated with a large variety of diseases, such as obesity, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus (DM) [7][8][9] , as well as increased cardiovascular morbidity/ mortality 10,11 . Nowadays, the harmful effects associated with sleep disorders happen among several age groups, besides the elderly 12 .…”

-Aim:The aim of this longitudinal study was to analyze the relationship between sleep disorder and intimamedia thickness. Method: Baseline measurements included carotid intima-media thickness, assessed by an ultrasound device; questionnaires about sleep and other behavioral variables; physical activity was measured by pedometer; body fatness was estimated by Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry; fasting glucose, lipid profile and C-reactive protein were collected. Results: The occurrence rate of sleep-related disorders was 47% (95%CI= 37.2%-56.7%). Carotid intimamedia thickness was related to symptoms of insomnia (r= 0.328 [0.141 to 0.493]) and, after adjustments for potential confounders, the relationship between carotid intima-media thickness and insomnia remained statistically significant (β= 0.121 [95%CI= 0.017; 0.225]). Conclusions: In young adults, sleep disorder was significantly related to premature increase in carotid intima-media thickness.
