Coffee Might Give Some Men an Edge Battling Prostate Cancer
MONDAY, Sept. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- For some men battling prostate cancer, drinking coffee may offer not just a quick pick-me-up but longer survival.Research is still in the early phases, but a new study finds an association between a genotype that metabolizes caffeine quickly and longer survival from prostate cancer. That genotype is called CYP1A2 AA. “I'm very excited about this work because each time we're digging in deeper. I think it has some really interesting findings that say, ‘Hey, there may be something here.’ We need to look more into what could be going on in terms of coffee and impact on people's lives, and especially those who are diagnosed with cancer,†said lead study author Dr. Justin Gregg. He is a urologic oncologist at the University of Texas MD...
Diets Haven't Improved Much Worldwide, and U.S. Remains...
19 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Despite everything people have learned about good nutrition, folks around the world aren't eating much healthier than they were three decades ago, a new global review has concluded.Diets are still closer to a poor score of zero -- with loads of sugar and processed meats -- than they are to a score of 100 representing lots of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole grains, Tufts University researchers report."Intake of legumes/nuts and non-starchy vegetables increased over time, but overall improvements in dietary quality were offset by increased intake of unhealthy components such as red/processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages and sodium," said lead author Victoria Miller. She's a postdoctoral scholar at Tufts' Friedman School of...
AHA News: Blood Clot Risk Remains Elevated Nearly a Year...
19 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 19, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- People who got COVID-19 had a higher risk of dangerous blood clots for close to a year later, according to a large new study on the aftereffects of a SARS-CoV-2 infection during the period before vaccines became available.As seen in previous studies, COVID-19 was linked to a sharply increased risk of blood clot-related issues – including heart attack and stroke – immediately after diagnosis compared to people who never had COVID-19. But the new study found that risk remained higher for some problems up to 49 weeks later.At that point, the risk of deep vein thrombosis – clots that form in large veins – was nearly double in people who'd had COVID-19 compared to those who had not, according to the study published Monday...
Medical Debt Can Crush Even the Insured, Study Shows
19 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Weeks after a stay in the hospital, your bill arrives and you can barely believe the amount due. How is this even possible if you have good health insurance and, more importantly, how will you pay it?Unfortunately, you’re not alone. More than one in 10 American adults and nearly one in five U.S. households have medical debt, a new study finds. Making matters worse, incurring medical debt more than doubles your chances of not being able to afford food, rent, mortgage or utilities, and losing your home.“Medical debt is incredibly common and it is toxic,†said study author Dr. Steffie Woolhandler. She is a primary care doctor and distinguished professor at Hunter College in New York City.It’s a vicious cycle, said Woolhandler, also a...
Over 7 Million U.S. Seniors Have Mental Declines That Threaten Financial Skills
19 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As Americans age, millions end up struggling with dementia or some level of memory impairment and diminished capacity to think clearly and make decisions.Yet a new study says that despite such serious challenges, many seniors continue to manage their own finances, often alone, and despite acknowledging difficulties in doing so.“There has long been attention to the difficulty in making financial decisions faced by older adults with cognitive impairment,†noted study lead author Jing Li, an assistant professor in health economics at the University of Washington in Seattle. But her team was surprised by the high percentage — 75% or more — who appear to be managing their own finances nonetheless.“Many of them report difficulty managing...
Have a Cuppa: Tea Might Lower Your Odds for Diabetes
19 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Now might be a good time to brew another cup of tea.Researchers studying the impact of tea found that drinking four or more cups of black, green or oolong tea every day was linked to a 17% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes over the course of a decade. “Our results are exciting because they suggest that people can do something as simple as drinking four cups of tea a day to potentially lessen their risk of developing type 2 diabetes,†said lead study author Xiaying Li, from Wuhan University of Science and Technology in China.Li's team did a meta-analysis of 19 studies that included more than 1 million adults from eight countries. First, they studied nearly 5,200 adults with no history of type 2 diabetes and an average age of 42 who...
Mental Skills Slow With Age, But Seniors Gain in Other Ways: Study
19 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Seniors, there's good news and bad from a new study of mental health. The brain-centered research confirms that mental skills do decline with age -- but it also finds many people over 60 having better psychological health than folks in their 20s."We wanted to better understand the interplay between cognition and mental health across aging, and whether they rely on activation of similar or different brain areas," explained senior study author Jyoti Mishra. She is director of the Neural Engineering and Translation Labs (NEATLabs) at University of California, San Diego, and an associate professor of psychiatry at the university's School of Medicine.The researchers included 62 younger adults and 54 older adults in the study, evaluating their...
Getting Your Gums Cleaned Could Mean Better Outcomes After Heart Attack
19 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While dental and medical care are thought to be related, researchers wondered what impact oral care might have on a serious heart condition.A University of Michigan team studied more than 2,000 patients who had a heart attack in 2017. The patients had either received periodontal care, dental cleanings or no oral care between 2016 and 2018.Those who had no dental care had the longest hospital stays after their heart attacks, the study found. Meanwhile, patients who received regular periodontal care had the shortest hospital stays and more follow-up visits in the next month."Dentistry is often practiced in isolation from overall health care," said study co-author Dr. Romesh Nalliah, associate dean for patient services at the U-M School of...
