“…It must also be taken into consideration that there are some other aspects influencing sleep and that it is affected by different psychological and environmental factors such as socioeconomic status [ 59 , 60 ]. There is also a reverse relationship, as sleep deprivation can lead to decreased quality of life, deterioration in energy to perform everyday activities and inability to work [ 61 ].…”

Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease affecting 2–4% of the general population. Accompanying subjective symptoms (pruritus or pain) may cause decreased life quality including sleep disorders (SD). Sixty psoriatic patients fulfilled the following questionnaires: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), STOP BANG for the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) assessment, and Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Severity Scale. Patients’ laboratory and clinical data were also investigated. All data obtained were compared to 40 participants without dermatoses. Mean PSQI, risk of OSAS, and RLS severity of psoriatics were significantly higher than in controls (p < 0.0001, p < 0.05, p < 0.05 respectively). There was a positive correlation between the time of suffering from psoriasis and the risk of OSAS (R = 0.286, p < 0.05). We did not observe any significant relationship between PSQI, risk of OSAS, or RLS and psoriasis severity assessed with PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index). We identified four possible predictors of RLS: glucose, CRP and total cholesterol concentrations, and PSQI. SD are significantly more frequent in psoriatics than in people without chronic dermatological diseases but surprisingly they are not correlated with psoriasis severity. SD decrease patients’ life quality and may result in serious consequences. Therefore, establishing recommendations concerning screening for SD and their predictors should be considered.

“…Furthermore, while our data suggest a strong association between the economic strength and the OSA activity on country level, recent studies have also taken into account the complex interplay between the individual socioeconomic status (SES) and sleep disorders. A growing body of literature of different population subgroups [53] is elucidating the role of a low SES on sleep outcomes such as insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, and sleep efficiency [54,55]. However, to date, only limited studies have evaluated the associations between SES and OSA.…”

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is emerging as a global health epidemic, particularly due to the obesity pandemic. However, comprehensive prevalence data are still lacking and global OSA research has not yet been structurally evaluated. Using the latest comprehensive age/gender-specific BMI and obesity data, a global landscape estimating the risk/burden of OSA was created. Results were presented in relation to an in-depth analysis of OSA research and countries’ socioeconomic/scientific background. While the USA, Canada, and Japan are the highest publishing countries on OSA, Iceland, Greece, and Israel appeared at the forefront when relating the scientific output to socioeconomic parameters. Conversely, China, India, and Russia showed relatively low performances in these relations. Analysis of the estimated population at risk (EPR) of OSA showed the USA, China, India, and Brazil as the leading countries. Although the EPR and OSA research correlated strongly, major regional discrepancies between the estimated demand and actual research performances were identified, mainly in, but not limited to, developing nations. Our study highlights regional challenges/imbalances in the global activity on OSA and allows targeted measures to mitigate the burden of undiagnosed/untreated OSA. Furthermore, the inclusion of disadvantaged countries in international collaborations could stimulate local research efforts and provide valuable insights into the regional epidemiology of OSA.

“…In addition, poor quality sleep and insomnia have a tight connection with emotions. Previous studies have observed the implications of loneliness, grief, hostility, impulsivity, stress, depression, and anxiety in terms of sleep [1,9,10,11]. The close-knit relationship displayed between emotion and sleep is gradually being distinguished as a crucial area for research [12].…”

Background: Sleep is recognized as an all-important physiological process, which also contributes to maintaining several bodily functions and systems. Insufficient sleep can induce many serious side effects and have an impact on human health in general. There are five consequences of lack of sleep, including an increased chance of morbidity and mortality, poor judgment, increased risk of accidents and injuries, reduced level of functioning, and an inferior quality of life. According to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), also known as the most widely used tool in the field of subjective assessment of self-perceived sleep quality, a combination of acupoints could be more effective than single acupoint treatment in improving sleep quality. Methods: This study has been proved based on a previous meta-analysis that consisted of some relevant studies. The present study was based on the extracted randomized control trials (RCTs) rooted in a previous meta-analysis that worked on the basis of association rule mining and examined the potential kernel acupoint combinations for improving sleep quality. Results: Depending on the Apriori algorithm, we summarized 26 acupoints as binary data from the 32 eligible RCTs and analyzed them. The top 10 most frequently selected acupoints were HT7, SP6, PC6, KI1, GV20, Taiyang, Yintang, Anmian, KI3, and Ear Shenmen. Furthermore, as deduced from 21 association rules, the primary relevant rules in the combination of acupoints are {Yintang, Anmian}=>{GV20} and {HT7, KI1}=>{PC6}. Conclusions: In order to use acupuncture to improve sleep quality, integrating {Yintang, Anmian, GV20} with {HT7, KI1, PC6} acupoints could be deemed as the kernel acupoint combination.
