High Blood Pressure in Middle Age Can Harm Your Brain
TUESDAY, Dec. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- High blood pressure can begin to take a toll on memory and thinking skills as early as middle age, new Brazilian research warns.And you won't be spared simply by keeping high blood pressure at bay until you hit your golden years, because the study found that even those who hadn't developed high blood pressure until becoming seniors still experienced a faster decline in thinking skills than those who continued to remain heart-healthy in their golden years."As a practical matter, this suggests that we must prevent hypertension at any age in order to avoid its deleterious effect on cognitive [thinking] decline," said study author Dr. Sandhi Barreto, a professor of medicine at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in Belo Horizonte,...
Loneliness Continues to Rise for Americans Under Lockdown
15 December 2020
TUESDAY, Dec. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Loneliness, particularly among folks under shelter-in-place orders, is a growing issue for Americans during the coronavirus pandemic, new research finds.More people report they are feeling lonely, depressed and even harboring thoughts of suicide as COVID-19 cases in the United States soar. And those who are chafing under lockdown or other stay-at-home restrictions appear to be at the greatest risk, according to a research letter published in the December issue of the journal Psychiatry Research."Our society is becoming lonelier the longer the pandemic continues, which will likely lead to increased mental health issues in the near future," said the letter's author, William Killgore, director of the Social, Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience...
Type 2 Diabetes in Youth Is Especially Unhealthy: Study
15 December 2020
TUESDAY, Dec. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The earlier in life type 2 diabetes arises, the deadlier it is, a new analysis finds.The study, which pooled the results of 26 previous ones, revealed a clear pattern: The younger people were when they developed type 2 diabetes, the greater their risk of complications like heart disease and stroke.For each year type 2 diabetes was delayed, the risk of blood vessel diseases fell by 3% to 5%.Younger patients were also at risk of premature death: Overall, for every additional year in age at diagnosis, the odds of dying during the study period declined by 4%.Experts said the findings, published online Dec. 14 in the journal Diabetologia, are not surprising: The longer a person lives with diabetes, the more time there is for complications to...
AHA News: 'Athlete's Heart' Differs Between Men and Women
15 December 2020
TUESDAY, Dec. 15, 2020 (American Heart Association News) -- The hearts of female athletes adapt differently to the rigors of sports training compared to their male peers, according to a new study that could change the way doctors evaluate women's heart health."Athlete's heart" describes physical and electrical changes, or remodeling, to the heart as a result of intense training. While it's not a medical condition that requires treatment, researchers are now studying how factors like sex, age and sport contribute to heart changes.For the new study, researchers at the University of Siena and the Institute of Sports Medicine and Science in Italy compared the hearts of 360 female and 360 male Olympic athletes. They were divided into four groups according to their sport type: skill, such as...
U.S. Teen Vaping Rates Are Leveling Off But Still High
15 December 2020
TUESDAY, Dec. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- After years of increases, nicotine and marijuana vaping among U.S. teens plateaued this year, but still they remain high, researchers report.Data from the most recent annual Monitoring the Future survey, conducted by the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research, show that from 2017 to 2019, the percentage of teens who said they vaped nicotine in the past 12 months doubled: 7.5% to 16.5% among eighth graders; from 15.8% to 30.7%, among 10th graders; and from 18.8% to 35.3% among 12th graders.In 2020, rates held steady at 16.6%, 30.7% and 34.5%, respectively. And between 2019 and 2020, daily or near daily (20 occasions in the past 30 days) nicotine vaping fell from 6.8% to 3.6% among 10th graders and from 11.6% to 5.3% among 12th...
Allergists' Group Offers Advice on Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine
15 December 2020
TUESDAY, Dec. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Americans may have questions about possible allergic reactions as immunization with the first COVID-19 vaccine begins, and allergy experts can provide some answers.The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine received emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday, and distribution of the vaccine began on Monday. But on Dec. 9, soon after the rollout of the vaccine in the United Kingdom, regulators there warned that people with a "significant history" of allergic reactions should not receive the new shot.The advice was issued after two people suffered adverse reactions on the first day of the U.K. mass vaccination program, the Associated Press reported. The regulators said they are investigating the two cases.The American...
Sickle Cell Puts Black Patients at Higher Risk for Severe COVID
15 December 2020
TUESDAY, Dec. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Sickle cell disease increases the risk of death or serious complications from COVID-19 infection, a pair of new studies suggests.People with sickle cell disease -- a genetic blood disorder predominantly found in Black people -- are 6.2 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than the general Black population of the United States, one study found."Sickle cell disease patients should be aware that they are a high-risk group, because they are usually more medically vulnerable. They should definitely be taking precautions like face mask wearing, social distancing and hand hygiene," said lead researcher Dr. Lana Mucalo, of the Medical College of Wisconsin, in Milwaukee.Sickle cell disease also appears to increase the risk of hospitalization and...
Which Animals Are Also Vulnerable to COVID Infection?
15 December 2020
TUESDAY, Dec. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Humans, ferrets, cats, civets and dogs are the animals most susceptible to infection with the new coronavirus, researchers say.The analysis of 10 species also found that ducks, rats, mice, pigs and chickens were less or not susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection."Knowing which animals are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 helps us prevent building up animal reservoirs from which the coronavirus can re-emerge at a later date," said the study's senior author, Luis Serrano."Our findings offer a clue for why minks -- which are closely related to the ferret -- are being infected by the disease, which is probably made worse by their packed living conditions and close contact with human workers," he added. Serrano is director of the Center for Genomic...
