In healthy adults from the general population, we found a significant and robust association between depression and anemia. Further studies are needed to assess the longitudinal relationship between both conditions and determine the mechanisms underlying this association.
This meta-analysis combined 14 observational studies and found that anaemia was associated with higher odds of adult depression (pooled estimate 1.43; 95% CI 1.23 to 1.65). The analysis included 10,764 cases of depression from studies with average ages between 38.4 and 75.0 years. The authors reported moderate differences across studies,…
Researchers analyzed answers from about 56,000 people in a 2018 U.S. health survey to see who has used hallucinogens. They found about 16% had tried a hallucinogen at least once, and about 2% had used one in the past year. Use was higher among White and multiracial people and lowest…
This systematic review looked at studies of people who stayed at residential health retreats for one or more nights and measured health before and after. The review found 23 studies with 2,592 participants and reported that all studies showed some health or wellbeing benefits after the retreat (effects seen immediately…
Overall, this study cohort showed a positive association between burnout scores and unplanned work absenteeism (and frequency of thoughts in leaving job) during the COVID-19 pandemic. More research is needed to support healthcare worker well-being during times of stress and direct solutions to addressing unplanned absenteeism in the light of…
This review pooled evidence from 25 studies and a meta-analysis of 9 studies with 26,916 people. It found that people with burnout had higher odds of cardiovascular problems: about 21% higher after statistical adjustment (OR 1.21) and about 27% higher using crude numbers (OR 1.27). Burnout was strongly linked to…
This study used China’s CHARLS data from 2011 and 2015 to look at people aged 45 and older. In 10,179 people at baseline, higher depressive symptom scores were linked to lower hemoglobin and to having anemia. Over 4 years (5,887 people followed), people with depressive symptoms had higher odds of…
This large South Korean study followed 3,951,398 adults for an average of 11.1 years to compare deaths in people with and without recorded mental disorders. After adjusting for age, sex, health conditions, income, smoking, drinking and physical activity, people with mental disorders had higher rates of suicide and higher overall…
This study followed 1,926 young adults (age 20–23) in Southern California from 2020 to 2021 to see how cannabis use related to later sleep problems. The researchers found that frequent cannabis use (≥20 days/month) was linked with worse sleep for people without anxiety or depression, but linked with slightly better…
This study looked at 1,139 chronic pain patients in a UK medical cannabis registry and compared those with poor sleep to those without. Both groups reported improvements in pain, quality of life, anxiety, and other measures over 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after starting cannabis‐based medicines. People with sleep…
