Lowering Medicare Age Could Help Close Racial Gaps in Health Care: Study
THURSDAY, July 29, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Could reducing racial disparities in health care be as simple as lowering the age at which Americans qualify for Medicare?Yes, claims a new study that suggests lowering eligibility from age 65 to age 60 could go a long way toward addressing inequities in health insurance, access to care and self-reported health decline.Racial and ethnic disparities in insurance coverage fall by more than 50% at age 65, and lowering the Medicare eligibility age would result in notable reductions in health disparities and access to care disparities, according to researchers at Yale School of Public Health in New Haven, Conn.Medicare enrollment would reduce disparities between white and Hispanic people younger than 65 by 29% among those who have regular health...
Pandemic Boosted Paranoia and Conspiracy Theories, Study...
29 July 2021
THURSDAY, July 29, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- The COVID-19 pandemic upended life in the United States in many ways. Now, a new study confirms another effect: paranoia and belief in conspiracy theories, especially in areas with low adherence to mask mandates. "Our psychology is massively impacted by the state of the world around us," said study author Phil Corlett, an associate professor of psychology at Yale University, in New Haven, Conn. When the pandemic began, Corlett and his colleagues were already studying the role uncertainty plays in the development of paranoia (delusions of being persecuted or feeling extremely fearful). The researchers were using a simple card game in which rules could suddenly change, triggering a rise in paranoia and erratic behavior among the participants....
Cats Might Be Purrfect Model for Human Genetics Research
29 July 2021
THURSDAY, July 29, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Dogs may be man's best friend, but cats may hold critical keys to humans' health.Our feline friends have the potential to become a valuable model for genetic research, because their genome is similar to that of people, according to Leslie Lyons of the Feline Genetics Laboratory at the University of Missouri in Columbia."Using cats in research is really overlooked, since people don't realize the advantages," Lyons said. Dogs or mice have rearranged chromosomes that are quite different from humans', but the genes of a domestic cat are about the same size as humans' and their complete set of DNA is similar, she explained. Cats could also help researchers better understand what is known as human "dark matter," which makes up 95% of human DNA....
'Moderate' Drinking May Be Heart-Healthy
28 July 2021
WEDNESDAY, July 28, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Here's a reason to not feel guilty about drinking a glass of wine every evening: A new study suggests that people who drink moderately may have lower risks for both heart attack and stroke than teetotalers — even when they have a history of heart issues.The researchers found that among over 48,000 people with previous cardiovascular trouble, those who drank the equivalent of a single drink per day were less likely to suffer a repeat heart attack or stroke. They also had a lower risk of dying during the 20-year study period.The study authors cautioned, however, that the link does not prove a cause-and-effect relationship."It's difficult to determine whether light-to-moderate drinking really has a protective effect," said lead researcher...

WEDNESDAY, July 28, 2021 (American Heart Association News) -- If the pandemic put your workout routine on ice, you're in good company.Gym attendance plummeted last year, and as people slowly return, their bodies may be telling them, "Hey!

FDA Panel Advisor Who Panned New Alzheimer's Drug Speaks Out
28 July 2021
WEDNESDAY, July 28, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- An outside advisor to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's review of the controversial Alzheimer's drug Aduhelm is now speaking out, arguing that the approval was based on dodgy science and involved questionable collaboration between regulators and the drug's maker."I'm not surprised at the controversy because I think it's a horrible decision. I think the FDA got it wrong," said Dr. G. Caleb Alexander, a professor with the Johns Hopkins Center for Drug Safety and Effectiveness, in Baltimore.Alexander sat on an 11-member FDA advisory panel that met in November to review data from two clinical trials related to Aduhelm. Ten of the members, including Alexander, voted against approving the drug; one was uncertain. No one voted yes."There are...
Black Women's Group Sues Johnson & Johnson Over Baby Powder
28 July 2021
WEDNESDAY, July 28, 2021 (Healthday News) -- Johnson & Johnson is being sued by the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) over the company's marketing of baby powder to Black women.The lawsuit filed Tuesday in the Superior Court of New Jersey claims that Johnson & Johnson targeted baby powder ads to Black women for decades even though it knew the talcum-based product contained ingredients that could cause ovarian cancer, CBS News reported.Several NCNW members used baby powder for years and now have ovarian cancer, according to the lawsuit, which accuses J&J of negligence, failure to warn customers of a possible defect in a product and consumer fraud."Internal documents demonstrate that J&J targeted those advertisements to Black women, knowing that Black women were more likely to use...
Bogus Info on Cancer Common Online, and It Can Harm
28 July 2021
WEDNESDAY, July 28, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Don't believe everything you read on social media about cancer and cancer treatment.A new study finds that one-third of the most popular articles on social media about treatment for common cancers contains misinformation -- and most of it can be downright dangerous. "The worst-case scenario is when it leads to a person declining proven cancer treatments in favor of a treatment that has not been shown to effectively treat cancer," said study author Dr. Skyler Johnson. "These inherent dangers compromise our ability as oncologists to cure cancer, improve survival, or at the least extend and improve quality of life."Consider these fraudulent claims, for instance: "Chemotherapy is ineffective for the treatment of cancer," or "cannabis cures lung...
