Study: Acetaminophen Linked To Higher Stroke Risk For Older Diabetics

Description

A new study says diabetics may run a greater risk of having a stroke if they use the pain reliever acetaminophen. French researchers found about 5% of people who took acetaminophen suffered strokes, compared to 4% who didn't take acetaminophen but had a stroke. The study was conducted among older people living in nursing homes in France. The researchers' aim was to explore any connection between acetaminophen use, death, and major heart events such as strokes and heart attacks.

  • Get Up, Stand Up: Older, Sedentary Women Face Greater Risk Of Heart Failure

    A new study reveals older women have a greater risk of heart failure if they spend more time sitting than those who sit less. And according to UPI, that's even if they have a regular fitness routine. As part of the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study, researchers analyzed the records of 80,100 postmenopausal women who were roughly 63 years old. Women spending less than 6.5 hours daily sitting or lying down had 15% less risk of heart failure hospitalization than women spending 9.5 sedentary hours daily. The data also showed the less sedentary women had a 42% less risk of heart failure hospitalization than women reporting more than 9.5 hours sedentary hours.

  • Study: Statins Deliver More Bang For The Buck In The Elderly

    The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says up to 29% of all adults in the United States, or about 70 million people, have high cholesterol. In addition to lifestyle changes around diet and exercise, prescription statin drugs can help control high cholesterol, which is liked to cardiovascular disease. Now, a new study reveals older adults benefit from statins at least as much as young people in reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart disease. According to UPI, researchers say that for every 80 people age 80 to 100 who take statins, one heart attack will be prevented. In contrast, three times that number of people between ages 50 and 59 would need to take the drugs to prevent one heart attack. Similarly, a second analysis shows statins reduce the risk for heart attack and stroke in people over 75 by 26% for every one-point reduction in LDL cholesterol.
