Heart Failure Risk Climbs in Obese Older Women Who Had Late Menopause
THURSDAY, April 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Health risks tied to obesity are often serious, with new research showing it boosts odds for heart failure among older women, especially those who go through menopause later than usual.Women whose periods stopped at 55 or after were at greatest risk, according to the study, published April 13 in the Journal of the American Heart Association. "We had expected that the effect of obesity on heart failure risk would be greatest among women who had experienced early menopause. This was not so," said lead author Dr. Imo Ebong, an associate professor of medicine at the University of California, Davis."The detrimental effects of obesity on heart failure risk was greatest among women who experienced late menopause," she said in a journal news...
Opdivo May Bring Survival Boost for Lung Cancer Patients
13 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Lifelong smoker Mike James had quit the habit for nearly three years when, through fluky circumstances, he found out that he had a small tumor in his right lung."I thought it was a death sentence," said James, 55, a public school educator in Boston. "I didn't tell anybody for two weeks. I didn't tell my wife. I didn't tell my family. I believe I lost 18 pounds in those two weeks, just from anxiety."But James now has a new lease on life, thanks to a groundbreaking clinical trial that combined immunotherapy with chemotherapy to shrink lung cancers before removing them surgically.The combination therapy reduced the risk of recurrence, progression or death by 37% compared to patients who received chemo alone, according to findings published...
Meningitis Vaccine May Guard Against Gonorrhea
13 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Rates of gonorrhea are on the rise, and this sexually transmitted disease is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics, raising fears of a potential superbug.Luckily, while there isn’t a vaccine against gonorrhea yet, an available meningitis vaccine may offer some protection against this STD, two new studies suggest.There are two vaccines available in the United States that can protect against meningitis, a potentially life-threatening inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and spine. The MenACWY vaccines (Menactra, Menveo and MenQuadfi) protect against the A, C, W and Y strains, and the MenB-4C vaccine (Bexsero) protects against the B strain. The new studies looked at the MenB-4C vaccine, which is not routinely...
Family Structure Influences Teen Delinquency
13 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The structure of teens' families influences their risk of delinquent behaviors such as shoplifting, graffiti or robbery, new research suggests.For the study, the researchers analyzed survey data gathered between 2016 and 2019 from more than 3,800 14- and 15-year-olds in Sweden. They used a statistical measure called incident rate ratio, or IRR, to compare groups. "This study shows that it is important to move on to the use of more detailed categorizations of family structure in relation to delinquency, and to increase our knowledge about the group of adolescents that moves between parents, and especially about the different constellations of asymmetrical and symmetrical living arrangements," the authors concluded in the report published...
CDC Extends Mask Mandates on Planes, Trains to May 3
13 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A federal mask mandate for planes, trains, airports and some bus services that was set to expire in five days will be extended until May 3, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Wednesday.The spread of the Omicron subvariant BA.2 — which now accounts for more than 85% of new coronavirus cases in the United States — was cited by the CDC as the reason for the extension, The New York Times reported."In order to assess the potential impact the rise of cases has on severe disease, including hospitalizations and deaths, and health care system capacity, the CDC order will remain in place at this time," the agency said in a statement.It explained that it would be monitoring the BA.2 subvariant while it weighed whether to...
Exercise Is Powerful Medicine for Depression
13 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- By now, most people have heard that exercise is good for their health.A new review suggests it can it also make a difference in major depressive disorder.Researchers analyzed 15 existing studies with data on exercise and depression, finding an association between physical activity and depression risk. The investigators estimated that almost 12% of cases of depression could have been prevented with a certain amount of exercise. It didn't take much. Physical activity was associated with significant mental health benefits, even when someone wasn't exercising as hard or as often as public health recommendations, according to the researchers, led by Soren Brage and James Woodcock, from the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine in...
AHA News: Connecting Health, Pollution and Fairness – That's Environmental Justice
13 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 13, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- In the beginning, the idea of environmental justice didn't have a name. It didn't have much support, either.A few years after the first Earth Day, a young sociologist named Robert Bullard gathered data for a 1979 lawsuit, filed by his then-wife, about a landfill planned for a middle-class Black neighborhood in Houston. His work showed that although only about a quarter of Houston's residents were Black, all of the city-owned landfills and most city-owned incinerators were in Black neighborhoods.Today, environmental justice is widely accepted as a crucial public health issue. And Bullard is now known as father of the movement. He leads the Center for Environmental and Climate Justice named after him at Texas Southern...
Americans Over 50 Want to 'Age in Place' at Home, But Many Aren't Prepared: Poll
13 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The vast majority of aging Americans want to stay in their homes and live independently for as long as possible, but many haven't considered what needs to be done to achieve "aging in place," a new poll reveals.Nearly 9 in 10 Americans (88%) between 50 and 80 years of age said it's important to remain in their homes as they grow older, the latest University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging found.But nearly half (47%) admitted they'd given little or no thought to the steps they'd need to take so they could remain safely and comfortably at home in their old age."So many older adults want to be able to stay at home for as long as possible, but it just doesn't seem as though most are really thoughtful about what that means and the...
