The article "Evaluation of the influence of sleep on obesity indices among young adults" investigates the connection between sleep and obesity in young adults. The study analyzes the sleep quality and duration, physical activity levels, and obesity indices of 300 individuals aged 18-25. The findings reveal that poor sleep quality is linked to increased weight, waist circumference, and abdominal volume index, indicating a potential association between sleep and obesity. The study suggests that sleep quality plays a role in obesity, regardless of physical activity levels. However, the study acknowledges limitations and the necessity for additional research to fully comprehend the physiological mechanisms involved. [Extracted from the article]

This article summarizes a cross-sectional study published in the National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy, and Pharmacology in 2024. The study explores the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in individuals with prehypertension. The findings indicate that prehypertensive individuals have lower HRV and higher NLR compared to healthy controls. The study suggests that NLR could be used as a marker to assess autonomic dysfunction in individuals with prehypertension, potentially identifying those at risk of cardiovascular problems. The article provides information about the journal's focus and states that the study has no external support or conflicts of interest. [Extracted from the article]
