IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 2840: Body Fat Mass and Risk of Cerebrovascular Lesions: The PRESENT (Prevention of Stroke and Dementia) Project
Suk
Obesity is known to increase the risk of stroke. It is unclear whether high absolute fat mass (FM) increases the risk of stroke independently. We studied the correlation between FM and silent brain infarction/white matter change (SI/WMC) using brain computed tomography. We selected subjects from the local government health promotion project. We randomly selected a target population that had never been diagnosed with stroke or dementia. FM was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). We divided the subjects into three groups according to the FM (gender-specific tertiles [GTx]). Seven hundred and twent...

More Research Is Needed on Lifestyle Behaviors That Influence Progression of Parkinson's Disease
This article highlights some of these challenges in the design of lifestyle studies in PD, and suggests a more coordinated international effort is required, including ongoing longitudinal observational studies. In combination with pharmaceutical treatments, healthy lifestyle behaviors may slow the progression of PD, empower patients, and reduce disease burden. For optimal care of people with PD, it is important to close this gap in current knowledge and discover whether such associations exist.
Introduction
Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related complex progressive neurodegenerative disorder, with key p...

Transforming cities: the potential of everyday cycling
This report estimates that 34,000 incidences of eight conditions, including type 2 diabetes, stroke, breast cancer and depression, would be prevented in seven major cities between 2017 and 2040, if cycling increased at rates like those seen since the millennium in London. The report outlines actions for local government to help increase and normalise cycling for local journeys

‘ Planetary Health Diet ’ : Scientists Say Cutting Red Meat, Sugar Can Save Lives And The Planet
(CNN) — An international team of scientists has developed a diet it says can improve health while ensuring sustainable food production to reduce further damage to the planet.
The “planetary health diet” is based on cutting red meat and sugar consumption in half and upping intake of fruits, vegetables and nuts.
And it can prevent up to 11.6 million premature deaths without harming the planet, says the report published Wednesday in the medical journal The Lancet.
The authors warn that a global change in diet and food production is needed as 3 billion people across the world are malnourished — which in...

Past Covidien, ev3 Activities are Costing Medtronic a Hefty Sum
Sometimes acquiring other companies means taking the bad with the good. In Medtronic's case, that means settling multiple Department of Justice claims against ev3, a business Medtronic owns by way of its Covidien acquisition.
Covidien bought ev3 in 2010 and Medtronic finalized its $49.9 billion Covidien deal in early 2015. Now, Medtronic is paying the price for activities that ev3 allegedly conducted between 2005 and 2009 involving the Onyx Liquid Embolic System.
FDA approved the device in 2005 as a liquid embolization device that is surgically injected into blood vessels to block blood flow to arteriovenous malformations ...

US Life Expectency Drops; Drug Overdoses & Suicide To Blame
By Susan Scutti, CNN
(CNN) — Life expectancy in the United States declined from 2016 to 2017, yet the 10 leading causes of death remained the same, according to three government reports released Thursday. Increasing deaths due to drug overdoses and suicides explain this slight downtick in life expectancy, the US Centers for Disease Control says.
Overdose deaths reached a new high in 2017, topping 70,000, while the suicide rate increased by 3.7%, the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics reports.
Dr. Robert Redfield, CDC director, called the trend tragic and troubling. “Life expectancy gives us a s...
