Reducing nightly sleep by 1.5 hours for 6 weeks may lead to modest weight gain among adults at elevated cardiometabolic risk.
The study involved 95 adult participants who habitually slept at least 7 hours per night and were assigned to sleep restriction and adequate sleep periods.
Sleep restriction resulted in a mean increase of 0.45 kg in body weight and 0.52 cm in waist circumference compared to adequate sleep.
Participants engaged in 17 more minutes of sedentary behavior during the sleep restriction period, with higher fasting leptin concentrations observed.
The study had limitations, including a brief intervention duration and a small sample size, which may affect generalizability and subgroup analyses.

Objective: To test the relationship between nutritional literacy, self-efficacy, family support, and cancer anorexic behavior among patients with gastrointestin
The study analyzed the relationship between nutritional literacy, self-efficacy, family support, and cancer anorexic behavior in gastrointestinal cancer patients.
A total of 248 patients undergoing chemotherapy were recruited from an oncology center in Henan Province, China, for this research.
Nutritional literacy was found to be positively associated with anorexic behavior scores, mediated by self-efficacy.
Family support positively moderated the relationship between nutritional literacy and self-efficacy, enhancing the association when support was high.
The findings suggest that improving nutritional literacy, self-efficacy, and family support could alleviate cancer-related anorexia in patients.
