Relationships Between Strength Training and Aerobic Exercise and Late Life Mortality
Both strength training and aerobic exercise independently correlate with improved health and reduced mortality in later life. Animal studies demonstrate causation, in that we'd expect both strength training and aerobic activity to produce the result of improved health and reduced mortality. It is reasonable to proceed on the believe that this will hold up in humans. Meanwhile, here is yet another epidemiological study that shows correlation in a human population, noteworthy for assessing the effects of both strength training and aerobic activity separately in the same study.
It is recommended that older adults (ag...

Cognitive Impairment Indicative of Later Dementia can be Detected Early
Researchers here present epidemiological evidence from a large population database to suggest that measurable cognitive decline occurs quite early in the progression towards dementia, years before diagnosis. Thus better screening could open the door for widespread use of existing preventative interventions and the development of new and better preventative interventions. Prevention is almost always an easier prospect than effective treatment of later stage disease, and something to be encouraged.
Neurodegenerative diseases present a significant health, social, and economic burden. Disease-modifying therapies and e...

HDL Level, Age, and Smoking are the Largest Determinants of Mortality Risk in Old People
An interesting epidemiological study here stratifies the contributions of various metrics to mortality in later life, age 70 and older. The authors find that the largest effects arise from HDL level, chronological age, and smoking. The largest single cause of death in our species is atherosclerosis, a progressive malfunction in clearance of cholesterol from blood vessel walls that leads to fatty plaques, narrowed arteries, stroke, and heart attack. HDL particles carry excess cholesterol from blood vessel walls back to the liver for excretion, and - thus over a lifetime - the more HDL in circulation one has, the greater the...

This study investigated whether multimorbidity is associated with incident dementia and whether associations vary by different clusters of disease and genetic risk for dementia. The study used data from the UK Biobank cohort, with baseline data collected between 2006 and 2010 and with up to 15 years of follow-up. Participants included women and men without dementia and aged at least 60 years at baseline. The presence of at least 2 long-term conditions from a preselected list of 42 conditions was used to define multimorbidity.
A total of 206,960 participants (mean age 64.1 years) were included in the final sample, of...

Clinical Research
This subject is quite complicated and it will be difficult for me to address it coherently in the space of a blog post. Lay people, unfortunately, are prone to many misunderstandings of clinical research and lately political opportunists have taken to exploiting these misunderstandings. Joseph Ladapo, the Florida Surgeon General, is one of these. He either doesn ' t know what he ' s doing when it comes to epidemiological research, or he ' s just a liar. Probably a little bit of both.The entire community of relevant experts rejects his conclusion that young men should not get the Covid vaccine, not because they don ' t like...

A Few Years of Difference in Life Expectancy Between Poorest and Wealthiest in Spain
We present sex- and age-specific life tables based on socioeconomic status at the census tract level in Spain during 2011-2013 that will allow estimating cancer relative survival estimates and life expectancy measures by socioeconomic status.
Life expectancy (LE) at birth was higher among women than among men. Women and men in the most deprived census tracts in Spain lived 3.2 and 3.8 years less than their counterparts in the least deprived areas. Overall, we found a consistent LE gap at birth according to socioeconomic status for both sexes in Spain during the 2011-2013 period. However, the gap was wider among men ...

The college football fans that beat COVID and the experts that couldn ’t
BY ANISH KOKA
The COVID pandemic was supposed to herald the end of the idea that a smaller government is a better government. The experts who desperately seek to be in charge of a sprawling bureaucratic state told us that it was only a powerful central authority that could do what was needed to safeguard individual liberties at a time when a highly contagious respiratory virus was spreading across the globe.
New Zealand may have imposed draconian policies that did not even allow its own citizens to return, but scenes of cheering unmasked New Zealanders stood in sharp contrast to empty seats in American stadiums when ...

Better Living Through Better Design
BY KIM BELLARD
We’re almost two weeks past Hurricane Ian. Most of us weren’t in its path and so it just becomes another disaster that happened to other people, but to those people most impacted it is an ongoing challenge: over a hundred people dead, hundreds of thousands still without power, tens of thousands facing a housing crisis due to destroyed/damaged homes, and estimated $67b in damages. It will take years of rebuilding to recover.
In the wake of a natural disaster like a hurricane – or a tornado, a flood, even a pandemic – it’s easy to shrug our shoulders and say, well, it’s Mother Nature, wh...

Important blood tests in relation to the heart – Cardiology Basics
Here are some important blood tests in relation to the heart. Normal ranges of some of these tests may vary between labs.
Cholesterol is a type of fat found in the blood and has a role in the development of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries as well as other arteries. Desirable value of total cholesterol in blood is less than 200 milligrams per decilitre.
Triglycerides is another type of fat found in the blood. Desirable value is less than 150 milligrams per decilitre. Very high levels of triglycerides carry a risk of pancreatitis. Calorie restr...
