This study investigated whether taller Polish adults live longer than their shorter counterparts. Data on declared height were available from 848,860 individuals who died in the years 2004-2008 in Poland. To allow for the cohort effect, the Z-values were generated. Separately for both sexes, Pearson's r coefficients of correlation were calculated. Subsequently, one way ANOVA was performed.
The correlation between adult height and longevity was negative and statistically significant in both men and women. After eliminating the effects of secular trends in height, the correlation was very weak (r = -0.0044 in men and ...

Aging as a Disease: a Zoo Contains Animals, But is Not Itself an Animal
The author of today's open access commentary is quite prolifically opinionated on the topic of mTOR and its status as a central pillar of programmed aging, particularly the hyperfunction version of programmed aging theories. Nonetheless, he sometimes has interesting things to say, as is the case here on the topic of whether aging is a disease. A great deal of ink has been spilled of late on the question of whether or not aging is a disease. This is the case not because everyone suddenly developed an interest in semantics, but rather because it directly affects the regulation of medical development, and thus the flow of fun...

Inquiry to assess the impacts of menopause and the case for policy reform: concluding report
This report outlines how menopause symptoms can have a debilitating impact on the day-to-day lives of women. The findings of the report demonstrate that widespread action is needed across all spheres to improve the situation for those going through the menopause, and the families, friends and colleagues affected by it. It raises concerns about the socio-economic divide emerging between women who are able to access the right treatment, and those who lose out in the postcode lottery and do not have the financial means to seek treatment elsewhere. It makes 13 recommendations for government, NHS and other bodies to initiate ch...

Challenges of The Journey Toward Menopause – and After
...Challenges of the journey toward menopause – and after:
As estrogen levels continue to drop, many women experience hot flashes, sometimes called hot flashes (some say hot flushes). When they happen at night, these episodes can cause night sweats. When these are frequent, they can be life-altering.
Sometimes, lifestyle changes such as losing weight, not smoking, avoiding alcohol, and relaxation methods such as yoga can help. Your doctor can suggest different approaches and may even prescribe medication for severe cases. Don’t suffer in silence. Speak up and work toward getting relief.
Other health concerns that ca...

Germline Stem Cells in Ovaries and Female Reproductive Aging
In today's open access paper, researchers discuss the evidence for the existence of germline stem cells in the ovaries, responsible for maintaining fertility in the usual manner of stem cells, by generating daughter cells that replace losses and ensure function. Is ovarian aging, leading into age-related infertility, much accelerated over the aging of other organs in our species because this stem cell population loses function more rapidly than those in other tissues? That is a reasonable hypothesis, and some of the possible mechanisms are discussed. That overies are a hypoxic environment to begin with, and that supply of ...

Closing the Gender Health Gap: How Digital Technology Can Support Better Women ’s Health
The following is a guest article by Juliet Bauer, Chief Growth and Marketing Officer at Livi
I’m often asked where I believe digital technology can make the biggest impact in healthcare. My answer? Women’s health. Today, women spend around a quarter of their lives in poor health or disability, compared with one fifth for men. In a health system that has historically been geared towards men, a gender health gap persists where you are more likely to receive poorer medical advice and diagnosis if you are a woman.
When I look at that gap, I see a key space for digital healthcare in helping us overcome many of the obstacles...
