Calcium supplements linked to post-stroke dementia in women
Conclusion The media paint this as a troubling study for older women who take calcium to strengthen their bones. However the small size of the study (only 98 women took calcium supplements, and only 14 of those got dementia) and its observational nature mean that we cannot rely on the results. As the researchers mention, it is possible that those taking supplements were less healthy than those that didn't in some unmeasured way. Further research may improve our confidence in these results. Broken bones are not a trivial matter for older people – a broken hip can be the difference between being able to live independentl...

Risk of hip fracture following stroke, a meta-analysis of 13 cohort studies
This study systematically reviews prospective and retrospective cohort studies evaluating the risk of hip fracture following stroke. Stroke survivors are at high risk of hip fracture and had a 1.5-fold increased risk compared to stroke-free men and women of the same age. Hip fracture often occurs in ageing and female stroke patients. We performed a meta-analysis to summarize evidence from prospective and retrospective cohort studies about the risk of hip fracture following stroke. We identified English and non-English publications in MEDLINE and EMBASE using stroke and fracture as keywords to 31 December 2015. The data of ...

Voodoo Medicine: Time To Stop
The world's most celebrated athlete standing on the podium in Rio in honor of receiving yet another gold medal has something important in common with your lazy uncle throwing back a cold one in his Barcalounger. Yes, swimming powerhouse Michael Phelps, purple-spotted from cupping therapy, and your slovenly relative with a beer gut both share a bond -- a weakness in succumbing to the allure of voodoo medicine. Modern-day snake oil salesmen hawking quick cures and TV doctors peddling the latest diet miracle with blatantly ridiculous claims are everywhere on the tube, social media, the supermarket and old-fashioned billboards...

Patterns and consequences of multimorbidity in the general population: There is no chronic disease management without rheumatic disease management
Conclusion: Our study emphasizes RMDs as a major presence in multimorbidity in the general population. All multimorbidity patterns were associated with a wide set of adverse health outcomes. Management strategies for the patient with chronic cardiometabolic, respiratory or depressive conditions should also target RMDs. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Compression of Morbidity Is Observed Across Cohorts with Exceptional Longevity
ConclusionThe similar extension of health span and compression of morbidity seen in NECS and LGP participants with exceptional longevity further validates the utility of these rare individuals for the study of factors that delay or prevent a broad spectrum of diseases otherwise associated with mortality and disability.

How Exercise Shapes You, Far Beyond the Gym
(Photo: Grady Reese) By Bradley Stulberg When I first started training for marathons a little over ten years ago, my coach told me something I've never forgotten: that I would need to learn how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. I didn't know it at the time, but that skill, cultivated through running, would help me as much, if not more, off the road as it would on it. It's not just me, and it's not just running. Ask anyone whose day regularly includes a hard bike ride, sprints in the pool, a complex problem on the climbing wall, or a progressive powerlifting circuit, and they'll likely tell you the same: A diff...

Unusual association between lysinuric protein intolerance and moyamoya vasculopathy.
CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an association between moyamoya vasculopathy and LPI. While the question of association or coincidence cannot yet be answered, several pathophysiological consequences of LPI can be defined as separate, such as links between the impact of low arginine levels on the function of vascular endothelium and brain nitric oxide metabolism, as well as hemophagocytic syndrome associated with the risk of vasculitis, thus accounting for the development of moyamoya vasculopathy.

The Call for a Physical Activity Vital Sign in Clinical Practice
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the most common shared occupational health risk is sedentary behavior. Physical inactivity increases the relative risk of coronary artery disease, stroke, hypertension and osteoporosis by 45%, 60%, 30%, and 59% respectively.1 Epidemiologic data suggest that physical inactivity is associated with an increased risk of 25 chronic diseases.2 Due to the fact that approximately 90% of American adults do not meet current physical activity guidelines,5 deaths attributable to physical inactivity may soon exceed those attributed to cigarette smoking,3,4 For these reasons, physical inactiv...

How hand osteoarthritis, comorbidity and pain interact to determine functional limitation in older people: Observations from the eposa study
Conclusions. Study results have demonstrated that although comorbidity was decidedly and independently associated with hand functional limitation, it has no effect on the hand OA‐physical function relationship. Hand OA was found to be associated with self‐reported as well as with performance‐based physical function impairment; the association was found to be partially mediated by pain, which reduces its impact.

Vitamin D Deficiency Is As Dangerous As Smoking
The advice you’re getting from your doctor, the TV and even the Surgeon General is so wrong, it’s scary. They’re all busy telling you to stay out of the sun. But Swedish researchers recently discovered that nonsmokers who avoid the sun have a life expectancy similar to smokers who spend a lot of time in the sun. Staying out of the sun is as dangerous as smoking.1 It doesn’t surprise me. I tell all my patients sunlight exposure is essential to our health because it is the best source of vitamin D… possibly the most important nutrient we know of. Mainstream medicine still doesn’t recognize th...
