A new study says better heart health in middle age may help reduce a person's risk significantly for dementia later in life. Researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institute studied 1,449 Finns enrolled in the Finnish Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging, and Dementia study. Adults with 'ideal' results on several cardiovascular health metrics were found to be 86% less likely to be diagnosed with dementia than those with lower scores. According to UPI, the metrics considered included smoking history, engagement in physical activity, body weight, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure. The findings suggest that maintaining lifelong heart health by not smoking, exercising regularly, and staying slim may reduce dementia risk later in life.
Older adults who used opioid pain medications before minor surgery were put at a risk they may not know about. These adults were up to 68% more likely to die within 90 days of the procedure. That is when compared with those who never used the drugs, according to UPI. Even among those 65 and older with low levels of opioid use, even eight months before surgery... ...About 55 people per 10,000 in the general population died within 90 days of having a procedure. Those who had not used opioid pain drugs prior to surgery died at a rate of just over 40 per 10,000.
It's often said that 'breast is best,' and now, new research from Japan reveals another reason mothers may choose to pass on cow's milk-based formula. Japanese research says infants who receive cow's milk-based formula in addition to breast milk are nearly twice as likely to develop asthma or recurrent wheeze. Specifically, among infants who received milk formula as a supplement to breastfeeding from birth to 5 months, 18% developed asthma or recurrent wheezing. But just 10% of the infants who were either breastfed only, or who received breast milk plus amino acid-based elemental formula, had such problems. The researchers suggest that human breast milk may contain certain unknown nutrients that bolster babies' immune systems and gut bacteria.
