A recent study found that extra fat stored around the waist could be a more reliable indicator of heart failure risk than BMI, which estimates body fat based on weight and height.Where fat is stored in the body may be more important than overall weight.The research examined how waist size is linked to heart failure and the role inflammation may play in that connection.
Research indicates rising infiltration of nanoplastics, originating from environmental breakdown and engineered sources, into human cells, tissues, and nuclei. These particles, released from packaging and products, enter through consumption or inhalation, leading to oxidative stress, inflammation, and potential subtle, persistent health impacts.
Inside your digestive system live trillions of microorganisms, forming the gut microbiome. They assist with food digestion, reinforce immune defenses, and help regulate energy metabolism throughout the body. Recent scientific findings indicate that these microbes could also help shape muscle strength.
A recent study in mice reveals that gut microbes can contribute to cognitive decline in old age, suggesting that age-related memory problems may be actively driven by changes in the gut microbiome and the bacteria residing there.
While PFAS or “forever chemicals” exert widespread harmful effects, a new study points to PFNA and PFOSA as drivers of accelerated biological aging in men during middle age, an effect notably absent in women. It is estimated that drinking water contaminated with PFAS could have exposed over 200 million Americans. The slow breakdown in the human body means these chemicals build up insidiously, potentially for decades, before any harm becomes evident.
Most people who take a multivitamin do so without firm proof of its value, which makes it important to build a clearer picture of its potential contributions to health. Recent research indicates that older adults who took a daily multivitamin experienced a modest slowdown in biological aging.
New findings from Canada's national aging cohort reveal that high obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk in adults over 45 is linked to significantly poorer mental health outcomes, both immediately and over time. This association bolsters evidence tying sleep breathing issues to depression and distress in later life.Among individuals with mental health conditions, OSA remains underdiagnosed and undertreated.
Exercise is widely recognized for its numerous health advantages, including its positive impact on brain function. Emerging evidence from recent studies indicates that incorporating regular resistance training into your routine could help maintain a youthful, resilient brain as you grow older.
Vitamin D plays a key role in overall health by supporting strong bones, a healthy immune system, and proper muscle and nerve function. A new study has now explored whether vitamin D3 supplements can benefit people who have already survived a heart attack.
New research finds kids with poor dental hygiene and untreated cavities face a higher chance of developing hardened arteries and cardiovascular issues as adults. Neglected cavities and gum disease in childhood may drive artery plaque buildup.
Studies estimate that roughly half of the U.S. population experienced elevated lead levels during early childhood due to widespread airborne pollution from leaded fuel.In a groundbreaking study, researchers investigated the long-term effects of airborne lead exposure during the peak era of using leaded gasoline (1960–1974) on brain health in later life.
In recent years, research has increasingly focused on cardiometabolic health, which links heart and metabolic function.A new study suggests that syncing overnight fasting with the body’s natural circadian rhythm could enhance heart health.
