High-Intensity Interval Training and Intermittent Fasting Improve Health for Overweight Women

Main

There are many potential health benefits to intermittent fasting and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), particularly for people with overweight or obesity. Now, a new study offers fresh evidence that adopting both of these approaches at once may be better for attacking risk factors like high blood sugar and excess fat around the midsection that can lead to heart attacks and strokes.“Isolated time-restricted eating and HIIT have received increasing attention for being effective and feasible strategies for at-risk populations,” senior author Trine Moholdt, PhD, head of the exercise, cardiometabolic health, and reproduction research group at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, said in a statement. “We wanted to compare the effects of the combination of time-restricted eating and HIIT with their isolated effects, and to determine whether time-restricted…

Folic Acid May Decrease Suicide Risk

Main

A daily folic acid supplement may decrease the risk of suicide, according to a large observational study published September 28 in JAMA Psychiatry. If the findings are confirmed, folic acid may be a valuable tool in suicide prevention, according to researchers.“There are no real side effects, it doesn’t cost a lot of money, and you can get it without a prescription,” said the lead study author, Robert Gibbons, PhD, a professor of biostatistics and medicine at the University of Chicago. “This could potentially save tens of thousands of lives.”Suicide is the 12th leading cause of death in the United States, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. In 2020, 45,979 Americans died by suicide, and there were an estimated 1.2 million suicide attempts.Folic Acid: An Unlikely Candidate for Suicide Prevention Folic acid…

Older Adults Who Sleep 5 Hours or Less May Be at Higher Risk for Multiple Chronic Diseases

Main

Think you can survive on five hours of sleep per night? Although it might be possible, it could put you at higher risk of developing multiple chronic diseases and earlier death, according to a new study. Investigators found that adults ages 50 and older who slept for five hours or less per night had a greater risk of developing more than one chronic disease when compared with their peers who sleep seven hours. The findings were published October 18 in the open access journal PLoS Medicine.“Our study showed that sleep five hours or less is associated with 30 to 40 percent increased risk of onset of multimorbidity,” says lead author Severine Sabia, PhD, of Université Paris Cité, the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), and University College London. The…

Hair-Straightening Products May Raise Uterine Cancer Risk

Main

Women who use chemical hair-straightening products may be at higher risk for uterine cancer than women who don’t, according to a new large study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).Study participants who reported frequent use of hair-straightening products, defined as more than four times in the previous year, were more than twice as likely to go on to develop uterine cancer as those who did not use the products. The findings were published October 17 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.“This doubling rate is concerning,” said the lead author, Alexandra White, PhD, the head of the NIEHS Environment and Cancer Epidemiology group in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, in a press release. “It is important to put this information into context — uterine cancer is a relatively…

Regular Statin Use May Reduce the Risk of Severe COVID-19, Research Finds

Main

A large new study of more than 38,000 patients suggests that commonly used cholesterol-lowering statins may protect against serious cases of COVID-19 and death from the disease.Extensive research presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (October 21–25) found that 30 percent of 38,875 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 at 185 hospitals in the United States between January 1 and September 30, 2020, used statins to treat high cholesterol. Analysis of their electronic medical records revealed that the statin users were 37 percent less likely to die of COVID-19 than those who didn’t use statins.In addition, regular statin users had a significantly lower risk of being discharged to hospice, being admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), or developing blood clots. They also had shorter hospital stays and…

New Guidelines Strongly Recommend the Use of Weight Loss Drugs to Treat Obesity

Main

Today the American Gastroenterology Association (AGA) released new evidence-based guidelines that strongly recommend, for the first time, the long-term use of four approved anti-obesity medications for adult patients who haven’t been able to successfully lose weight through lifestyle changes alone. The new recommendations will be published in the November 2022 issue of Gastroenterology.“There have been changes in obesity treatment in recent years. This guideline is the first since diabetes drugs were approved for obesity treatment and provides clear information for doctors and their adult patients who struggle to lose weight or keep it off with lifestyle changes alone,” said a coauthor of the findings, Perica Davitkov, MD, a professor in the department of medicine at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, in a press release.Weight Loss Medications Are First-Line Medical…

Children With RSV Are Filling Emergency Rooms as Virus Surges

Main

U.S. hospital emergency departments are struggling to treat sick babies and other children in the face of an unprecedented surge in severe RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) infections.RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways in the lung) and pneumonia (infection of the lungs) in children under 1 year of age in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Tracking by the CDC shows that nearly 5,000 tests came back positive for the virus as of October 8.While the respiratory illness typically peaks in January or February, a CDC official told NBC News that some U.S. regions are already hitting case-level highs.The spike in RSV, combined with the early onset of flu season and a possible winter COVID-19 surge, has…

Monkeypox Update: Steep Drop in Cases, but America Is Still the Hotspot

Main

Friday, October 21, 1:52 P.M. EDTNew Monkeypox Cases Have Declined 88 Percent Since AugustLatest tracking from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that the seven-day daily average for monkeypox as of October 19 was 48 cases — an 88 percent drop from the 443 daily average on August 6 during the outbreak’s peak. LGBTQ Nation attributes the decline to several factors, including uptake of an effective monkeypox vaccine, men who have sex with men (MSM) reducing partners, and the virus’s self-limiting ability to spread (transmitting almost entirely through skin-to-skin contact).Gothamist on October 18 wrote that New York City has almost eliminated monkeypox, and in San Francisco, the local government announced that the public health emergency due to monkeypox will end on October 31 as cases there have…

Midlife Weight Gain: The Latest Thinking From NAMS 2022

Main

Whoever coined the phrase “Don’t mess with success,” had probably never gone through the transition to menopause. Seemingly overnight, a diet and exercise routine that’s helped you maintain a healthy weight for most of your adult life isn’t working the way it once did.“Weight gain in midlife often surprises women,” says Stephanie S. Faubion, MD, the medical director of the North American Menopause Society (NAMS). While the age at which women reach menopause varies, many start to experience the years-long transition — and the symptoms that come with it — in their forties.“I commonly have women come into my office saying, ‘I haven’t changed anything, and I’m gaining weight.’ My response is, ‘Exactly. If you haven’t changed anything, you will gain weight in midlife. The rules of your body have changed.’ It’s…
