New review examines the advances and future trends in sleep disorder measurement technology

Sleep disorders and insufficient sleep are major global problems contributing to, e.g., increased health care costs and sick leaves, and reduced quality of life. According to recent estimates, sleep apnea alone affects approximately 1 billion people worldwide, and up to half of the world’s population suffers from insomnia at some point in their lives.

Researchers explore role of FTO gene in the comorbidity of depression and obesity

Scientists from the University of Granada (UGR) have highlighted that the possible role attributed to the 'fat mass and obesity-associated' (FTO) gene in the comorbidity of depression and obesity can only be confirmed by conducting more studies involving individuals suffering from both diseases, together with more in-depth analysis of the different clinical subtypes of depression, as some are more prone to being accompanied by obesity than others.
