We investigated the associations of accelerometer-derived objective sleep traits with diseases throughout physiological systems to ascertain whether the disease spectrum related to objective sleep traits differs from that related to subjective sleep traits. <b>Methods:</b> In 88,461 UK Biobank (UKB) adults wearing accelerometers, multiple dimensions of sleep were objectively derived: (a) nocturnal sleep duration and onset timing, (b) sleep rhythm (relative amplitude and interdaily stability), and (c) sleep fragmentation (sleep efficiency and waking numbers). Associations with International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision-decoded diseases during follow-up were estimated using the Cox model, and the results were compared with those of a published literature search of subjectively measured sleep traits and diseases. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data were used to validate the newly identified associations unreported by previous studies. For the meta-analysis-reported associations (with subjective sleep traits) that were negative (with objective sleep traits) in our study, reanalysis was done in UKB with subjective sleep traits, stratified by objective measurements. <b>Results:</b> During the average 6.8-year follow-up, 172 diseases were associated with sleep traits.

The impact of different levels of physical activity (PA) intensities on brain age is still not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the associations between accelerometer-measured PA and brain age. <b>Methods:</b> A total of 16,972 eligible participants with both valid <i>T</i> <sub>1</sub>-weighted neuroimaging and accelerometer data from the UK Biobank was included. Brain age was estimated using an ensemble learning approach called Light Gradient-Boosting Machine (LightGBM). Over 1,400 image-derived phenotypes (IDPs) were initially chosen to undergo data-driven feature selection for brain age prediction. A measure of accelerated brain aging, the brain age gap (BAG) can be derived by subtracting the chronological age from the estimated brain age. A positive BAG indicates accelerated brain aging. PA was measured over a 7-day period using wrist-worn accelerometers, and time spent on light-intensity PA (LPA), moderate-intensity PA (MPA), vigorous-intensity PA (VPA), and moderate- to vigorous-intensity PA (MVPA) was extracted.

We utilized latent class analysis to categorize baseline multimorbidity patterns, Markov multi-state model to explore the impact of multimorbidity characterized by condition counts and multimorbidity patterns on subsequent fall transitions, and Cox proportional hazard models to assess hazard ratios of each transition. <b>Results:</b> A total of 14,244 participants aged 45 years and older were enrolled at baseline. Among these participants, 11,956 (83.9%) did not have a fall history in the last 2 years, 1,054 (7.4%) had mild falls, and 1,234 (8.7%) had severe falls. Using a multi-state model, 10,967 transitions were observed during a total follow-up of 57,094 person-times, 6,527 of which had worsening transitions and 4,440 had improving transitions. Among 6,711 multimorbid participants, osteo-cardiovascular (20.5%), pulmonary-digestive-rheumatic (30.5%), metabolic-cardiovascular (22.9%), and neuropsychiatric-sensory (26.1%) patterns were classified. Multimorbid participants had significantly higher risks of transitions compared with other participants. Among 4 multimorbidity patterns, osteo-cardiovascular pattern had higher transition risks than other 3 patterns. <b>Conclusions:</b> Multimorbidity, especially the \"osteo-cardiovascular pattern\" identified in this study, was associated with higher risks of fall transitions among middle-aged and older Chinese. Generally, the effect of multimorbidity is more significant in older adults than in middle-aged adults. Findings from this study provide facts and evidence for fall prevention, and offer implications for clinicians to target on vulnerable population, and for public health policymakers to allocate healthcare resources.</p>","PeriodicalId":73207,"journal":{"name":"Health data science","volume":"5 ","pages":"0151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11836196/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
