Multivariate logistic regression was used to examine associations between sleep duration and CAD, adjusting for demographic and clinical confounders.ResultsShort sleep (<6 h/day; OR = 1.595, 95% CI = 1.230–2.067) and long sleep (>8 h/day; OR = 2.284, 95% CI = 1.456–3.583) were significantly associated with increased odds of CAD compared to normal sleep duration (6–8 h/day), even after adjusting for confounders. Long sleep duration demonstrated a notably stronger association with CAD risk.ConclusionBoth short and long sleep durations are significant risk factors for coronary artery diseases, with longer sleep duration showing a stronger association. Public health initiatives and clinical practices should integrate sleep duration assessments to identify at-risk populations and implement targeted interventions.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fepid.2026.1696282 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fepid.2026.1696282 <![CDATA[Hierarchical forecasting of COVID-19 cases in Africa using machine learning models]]> 2026-02-11T00:00:00Z Original Research Claris ShokoCaston SigaukeKatleho Makatjane https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fepid.2026.1798141 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fepid.2026.1798141 <![CDATA[Retraction: Awareness and infection prevention practices of hepatitis B virus among informal caregivers in public hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2024]]> 2026-02-02T00:00:00Z Retraction https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fepid.2026.1702848 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fepid.2026.1702848 <![CDATA[Factors associated with all-cause mortality in endovascularly treated patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia]]> 2026-01-22T00:00:00Z Original Research Mária RašiováVeronika PavlíkováMarek HudákViktor KožárLucia Dekanová https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fepid.2025.1630930 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fepid.2025.1630930 <![CDATA[Wastewater surveillance in the military: how deployed members of the armed forces can monitor outbreaks on military vessels]]> 2026-01-14T00:00:00Z Perspective Anna GitterKristina D.
