New Studies Link Long COVID Fatigue to Reduced Brain Blood Flow and Dopamine Neuron Loss

Two recent studies identify distinct biological mechanisms behind persistent fatigue in long COVID. A Swedish study found reduced cerebral blood flow in the brains of fatigued patients, while a Canadian study linked the condition to the loss of dopamine-releasing neurons in the striatum. These findings suggest that neurovascular and dopaminergic disruptions may underpin symptoms like exhaustion, slow movement, and memory issues, potentially guiding future treatments.

Nightcaps Hit Harder: Alcohol's Fatigue Trap as We Age

As people age, alcohol’s sedating effects become stronger due to shifts in body composition (less lean mass and total body water), meaning there’s less volume for alcohol to distribute in. This amplifies its impact on sleep, reducing REM and deep sleep and leaving many older adults with next‑day fatigue, irritability, and impaired concentration. Medications, sleep apnea, and other health issues can further worsen drowsiness and safety. Effects can begin earlier in life for some and worsen with age, underscoring that alcohol’s impact grows even if drinking habits stay the same.

Widespread Fatigue: Sleep Quality and Tech Stress Drive National Exhaustion

A CDC NHIS 2024 analysis shows fatigue is widespread in the U.S., with about 71.5% of adults feeling fatigued on at least some days and 16.6% experiencing frequent fatigue; experts say poor sleep quality and psychosocial stress are major drivers, fatigue is more common in women, and it affects work and daily activities, highlighting the need for better sleep, boundaries around work and devices, and medical evaluation to rule out underlying conditions.

Five signs vitamin D deficiency: bone pains, fatigue and mood changes

Dr. Kunal Sood lists five warning signs of low vitamin D: aching bones or unexplained bone pain, proximal muscle weakness (hips/thighs), persistent fatigue, mood changes, and stress fractures or fractures from minor injuries. He notes vitamin D aids calcium absorption and bone health, mainly sourced from sunlight, with indoor lifestyles increasing deficiency risk. If you notice these signs, consult a doctor for proper testing and guidance, as vitamin D is not a stand-alone cure for fatigue or mood issues.

Experts debunk 'massage flu' and explain post-session soreness isn’t toxin-related

Some clients report flu-like symptoms after popular massages, including 24–48 hours of soreness, fatigue, and headaches. Health experts say there is no toxin release behind these symptoms; they’re more likely due to muscle pressure and mild inflammation. To ease discomfort, request gentler pressure or shorter sessions, stay hydrated, and seek medical advice if symptoms persist beyond about 72 hours or worsen (e.g., new pain, fever, numbness).

CDC: Fatigue affects the majority of U.S. adults, three-month snapshot

A CDC/NCHS analysis of the 2024 National Health Interview Survey found that 71.5% of U.S. adults felt fatigued on at least some days over a three-month period, with 16.6% experiencing frequent exhaustion. Fatigue is more common in women, younger adults (18–34), lower-income groups, rural residents, and in the South/Midwest, and is often tied to poor sleep quality and psychosocial stress. Many who are frequently fatigued report impairments in mood, mobility, memory, work, and social activities. Experts urge sleep hygiene, setting boundaries from work and devices, and medical evaluation to rule out underlying conditions.

Widespread Fatigue Hits the U.S., CDC Survey Finds

A CDC analysis of the 2024 National Health Interview Survey found that 71.5% of U.S. adults felt very tired or exhausted in the previous three months, with 20% fatigued most or every day. Fatigue was more common among women, younger adults, Indigenous populations, rural residents, and lower-income groups, and those with frequent fatigue often faced problems with concentration, basic daily functioning, and mental health, along with social and workplace limitations. About 190 million people had experienced fatigue recently. Because the study is cross-sectional and based on self-reports, it cannot determine cause or direction of associations.

Fatigue grips the U.S. audience, with women and young adults hit hardest

A CDC analysis of the National Health Interview Survey shows that in 2024, 71.5% of U.S. adults reported fatigue on at least some days, and 16.6% felt very tired or exhausted most days. Fatigue was more common among young adults and women, and those with frequent fatigue were over three times as likely to have depression and about twice as likely to report anxiety or cognitive difficulties, along with limitations in work and social activities. If fatigue persists despite adequate sleep or disrupts daily responsibilities, consult a healthcare provider, as fatigue can signal an underlying health condition.

Fatigue is widespread in the U.S., new CDC data show

A CDC/NCHS study finds about 71.5% of U.S. adults reported fatigue on multiple days over the last three months, with roughly 1 in 6 experiencing frequent fatigue (most days or every day). Rates are highest among 18–34-year-olds and women, and American Indian/Alaska Native adults have the highest prevalence. Fatigue is linked with poorer health outcomes and functioning difficulties, including anxiety, depression, and cognitive problems, though the study doesn't identify causes. About 27,000 adults participated in 2024. Management tips include sleep hygiene, regular exercise, aromatherapy, and mindfulness; persistent fatigue should be evaluated by a clinician.

CDC data reveal fatigue gap: women report more fatigue than men

CDC data from a 2024 survey of nearly 27,000 adults show women report fatigue more often than men: over half say they feel fatigued on some days and about 18% say most days or every day, with fatigue linked to cognitive difficulties, depression, and anxiety; younger adults (18–34) report fatigue more frequently, while older adults and men report it less often. Experts note busy responsibilities and hormonal factors may contribute, though the study does not establish causes or compare to previous years.

Fatigue is widespread in the U.S., with young adults and women most affected, CDC finds

A CDC/NCHS survey of about 27,000 U.S. adults in 2024 found that 71.5% felt very tired or exhausted on multiple days in the past three months, and about 16–17% experienced frequent fatigue (most days or every day). Fatigue was most common among 18–34-year-olds (19.5%), women (20% vs 13% for men), and American Indian/Alaska Native adults (25.5%), with higher rates in the South and Midwest. Those with frequent fatigue also reported more depression, anxiety, and cognitive difficulties. Fatigue is not sleepiness or chronic fatigue syndrome; it may reflect stress, lifestyle, and various health issues. Health experts urge addressing sleep, stress, and overall health, including strategies like relaxation and active rest.
