AHA News: Loss of Executive Function With Aging Can Make Learning New Skills Hard
FRIDAY, July 14, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Technology is designed to make life easier and more efficient. People can autopay their bills, order food and download movies right on their phones or tablets. They can even ask a virtual assistant to do it all for them.But performing these daily tasks requires continuous learning, as operating systems and apps are routinely updated and new ones created. This can be challenging – and stressful – for older adults, who struggle to keep up with the changes as they begin to lose the cognitive skills needed for new learning.Broadly defined, executive function skills are those that allow people to learn, plan and manage everyday tasks. A key component of executive function is working memory – the ability to hold on to new...
WHO Agency Declares Aspartame a Possible Carcinogen
14 July 2023
FRIDAY, July 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- In findings that are likely to fuel the debate over the safety of aspartame, one World Health Organization (WHO) agency announced Thursday that the artificial sweetener is a possible carcinogen while another stood firm in saying that aspartame is safe in recommended doses.“Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally. Every year, 1 in 6 people die from cancer. Science is continuously expanding to assess the possible initiating or facilitating factors of cancer, in the hope of reducing these numbers and the human toll,†Dr. Francesco Branca, director of the WHO's department of nutrition and food safety, said in an agency news release. “The assessments of aspartame have indicated that, while safety is not a major concern at the...
Washington State's New Payroll Tax Helps Fund Long-Term...
14 July 2023
FRIDAY, July 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Vicki Bickford is a professional caregiver, but lately she’s been worried more and more about her own aging.Bickford, 66, has aggressive arthritis that has required hip replacements and has now spread to her knees, as well as degenerative disc disease in her spine.She’s made modifications to help her stay in her home -- sliding glass doors, a ramp, a day basement -- but it has cost her more than $30,000.“We had to open up a wall to get the door, which cost a lot of money. There's a lot of concrete work, a lot of demolition, some plumbing. It all added up, and I didn't even hire the good people. I ended up getting what I could afford,†said Bickford, who lives in Vancouver, Wash. “I had to refinance the house, and it raised my mortgage...
Don't Sweat It: Any Kind of Weightlifting Helps Build Muscle
14 July 2023
FRIDAY, July 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Lifting weights regularly builds strength and muscle — and it doesn’t matter if those weights are heavy or light.It’s the act itself, and being consistent, that pays off, according to a new study.All forms of resistance training are beneficial, including body-weight exercises such as planks, lunges and push-ups, according to kinesiologists at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, who looked at weight, frequency and consistency.“There are a dizzying number of factors and combinations to consider when creating a weightlifting program to maximize strength and muscle growth,†said kinesiology professor Stuart Phillips, who did the study with graduate students Bradley Currier and Jonathan Mcleod. “This is an age-old debate among...
Could the Bacteria in Your Gut Play a Part in How Clogged Your Arteries Are?
14 July 2023
FRIDAY, July 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Your gut bacteria could affect your risk for the fatty deposits in heart arteries -- and future heart attacks, researchers say.A new study finds a link between the levels of certain microbes in the gut and these coronary atherosclerotic plaques.Led by researchers from Uppsala and Lund Universities in Sweden, the study analyzed gut bacteria and cardiac images from nearly 9,000 Swedish patients ages 50 to 65 with no known heart disease.“We found that oral bacteria, especially species from the Streptococcus genus, are associated with increased occurrence of atherosclerotic plaques in the small arteries of the heart when present in the gut flora," said researcher Tove Fall, a professor of molecular epidemiology at Uppsala University. "Species...
Racial Discrimination Raises Risk for Childhood Obesity
14 July 2023
FRIDAY, July 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Racial discrimination may drive health inequities from an early age, according to researchers who found that it puts kids at risk for obesity.“Exposure to racial discrimination must be acknowledged as both a social determinant of obesity and a significant contributor to obesity disparities among children and adolescents,†said lead researcher Adolfo Cuevas. He is an assistant professor of social and behavioral sciences at the NYU School of Global Public Health in New York City.Specifically, the new study found that children who experience racial discrimination were more likely to develop a larger waistline and higher body mass index (BMI). BMI is an estimate of body fat based on height and weight.Black and Hispanic youth have higher rates...
Ticks May Be Spreading 'Wasting Disease' Among Wisconsin Deer
14 July 2023
FRIDAY, July 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Ticks may be responsible for the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Wisconsin’s deer population, according to a new study.Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have found that ticks can harbor transmissible amounts of the protein particle that causes CWD, a fatal neurological disease seen in deer, elk and moose. The pathogen, prion, can pass through soil or through bodily fluids, including feces. Prion can prompt certain proteins to fold abnormally, particularly in the brain. That can prevent these proteins from carrying out their normal functions. Over time, the CWD prion can cause severe brain damage and eventually death in deer, the study explained.While a lot of CWD studies focus on the role of soil in the disease’s...
Glaucoma: Spotting It Early Is Crucial
14 July 2023
FRIDAY, July 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Treatment can control the symptoms of the most common type of glaucoma and save someone’s vision.The catch is that a person can’t feel the changes in eye pressure that can damage vision, so they often won’t know they even have it before it’s too late. That is, unless they’ve been seeing an eye doctor regularly.One vision expert encourages people to not wait for that pressure to damage the optic nerve, but rather to preserve vision with regular health care. “Some people say they don’t need glasses, so they don’t need to see an eye doctor,†said Dr. Tara O’Rourke, an optometrist at Penn State Health Eye Center. “It’s important for everyone to have yearly eye exams to monitor the health of the eye, especially for patients...
