The effects of dietary saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated fatty acids on the risk of cardiovascular events remain controversial. ⋯ There was no association between dietary saturated fatty acids and 10-year risk. Increased dietary intake of monounsaturated fatty acids or polyunsaturated fatty acids decreased 10-year risk, particularly in nondiabetes, non-high-low density lipoprotein patients.

Insomnia, Poor Sleep Quality and Sleep Duration and Risk for COVID-19 Infection and Hospitalization.
Medical comorbidities increase the risk of severe acute COVID-19 illness. Although sleep problems are common after COVID-19 infection, it is unclear whether insomnia, poor sleep quality, and extremely long or short sleep increase risk of developing COVID-19 infection or hospitalization. ⋯ In a general population sample, poor sleep quality and extremes of sleep duration are associated with greater odds of having had a COVID-19 infection; poor sleep quality was associated with an increased requirement of hospitalization for severe COVID-19 illness. These observations suggest that inclusion of healthy sleep practices in public health messaging may reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
