Kairos study protocol: a multidisciplinary approach to the study of school timi...
Gabaldón-Estevan, Daniel; Carmona-Talavera, Diego; Catalán-Gregori, Belén; Mañas-García, Elena; Martin-Carbonell, Vanessa; Monfort, LucíaRecent evidence from chronobiology, chssronomedicine and chronopsychology shows that the organisation of social time (e.g., school schedules) generally does not respect biological time. This raises concerns about the impact of the constant mismatch between students’ social and internal body clocks on their health, well-being and academic performance. The present paper describes a protocol used to investigate th...
Associations between obesity, a composite risk score for probable long COVID, a...
Xue, Pei; Merikanto, Ilona; Delale, Eva A.; Bjelajac, Adrijana; Yordanova, Juliana; Chan, Rachel N. Y.; Korman, Maria; Mota-Rolim, Sérgio A.Background: Preliminary data suggests that obesity might hasten the decline in mRNA vaccine-induced immunity against SARS-CoV-2. However, whether this renders individuals with obesity more susceptible to long COVID symptoms post-vaccination remains uncertain. Given sleep’s critical role in immunity, exploring the associations between obesity, probable long COVID symptoms, and sleep disturbances is essential. Me...
The association of insomnia with long COVID: an international collaborative stu...
Chen, Si Jing; Morin, Charles M.; Ivers, Hans; Wing, Yun Kwok; Partinen, Markku; Merikanto, Ilona; Holzinger, Brigitte; Espie, Colin A.Objective: There is evidence of a strong association between insomnia and COVID-19, yet few studies have examined the relationship between insomnia and long COVID. This study aimed to investigate whether COVID-19 patients with pre-pandemic insomnia have a greater risk of developing long COVID and whether long COVID is in turn associated with higher incident rates of insomnia symptoms after infection. Methods: D...
Associations between changes in habitual sleep duration and lower self-rated he...
Matsui, Kentaro; Chung, Frances; Bjelajac, Adrijana Koscec; Merikanto, Ilona; Korman, Maria; Mota-Rolim, Sérgio; Cunha, Ana Suely; Bjorvatn, BjørnBackground: Self-rated health (SRH) is widely recognized as a clinically significant predictor of subsequent mortality risk. Although COVID-19 may impair SRH, this relationship has not been extensively examined. The present study aimed to examine the correlation between habitual sleep duration, changes in sleep duration after infection, and SRH in subjects who have experienced SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: Par...
