Reply to comment by ilanallama85 in Too much or too little sleep could be making you sick more. Those who reported sleeping less than six hours a night were 27% more likely to report a recent infection, and those who reported more than nine hours sleep were 44% more likely to report one. by MistWeaver80

Yeah but it's still good to know because if you're ill more than others and your sleep isn't average then you can either:

> Sleeping too much is unhealthy

Reduce sleep. Or

> Unhealthy people sleep too much

Investigate the underlying issue and then fix it, reducing sleep.

Which lays out a straightforward solution, if you investigate first then you'll cover both, so do that.

It's pretty actionable even if it's correlation.

The causes of sleeping problems also cause issues with your immune system and focusing on fixing your sleeping problem will help even if it's correlation due to a shared cause.

Particularly with "too much sleep," it's usually a symptom of another health issue (like sleep apnea, depression, etc.), rather than the cause of health problems. There's very little evidence that excess sleep is detrimental in people who are healthy.

Reply to comment by thepigfish82 in Pregnant patients with anxiety have altered immune systems: pregnant women with anxiety have higher levels of immune cells cytotoxic T cells and they have differences in the activity of immune markers that circulate in the blood by giuliomagnifico

Same. Except my mom got pregnant with me only 6 months after my (planned) older sister was born and it seems like she had really bad postpartum depression and anxiety. I have so many health issues, mostly autoimmune stuff. I've always wondered if she just didn't take care of herself well during my pregnancy, like as far as eating well and getting exercise, but maybe it was just the anxiety?

Unfortunately we humans are not that metal…… and unfortunately we are also causing this warming.

Reply to Japanese researchers identify three intestinal bacteria linked with Lewy body dementia, potentially providing new biomarkers and new avenues for therapeutic development by viomelifesciences

> Random forest models to differentiate DLB and PD showed that high Ruminococcus torques and high Collinsella, which presumably increase intestinal permeability, as well as low Bifidobacterium, which are also observed in Alzheimer’s disease, were predictive of DLB.

Does anybody know of any studies correlating yogurt consumption in the diet of their sampled population with lower risk of dementia/Parkinsons?
