| Even the very elderly and frail can benefit from exercise Posted: 06 Sep 2012 03:20 PM PDT A new study has shown that all seniors, even those considered frail, can enjoy the benefits of exercise in terms of their physical and cognitive faculties and quality of life and that these benefits appear after only three months. |
| Even small weight gains raise blood pressure in college students Posted: 06 Sep 2012 03:19 PM PDT As a college student, you may be happy simply not to have gained the "Freshman 15." But a new study shows that as little as 1.5 pounds per year is enough to raise blood pressure in that age group, and the effect was worse for young women. |
| Non-alcoholic red wine may help reduce high blood pressure Posted: 06 Sep 2012 03:19 PM PDT Non-alcoholic red wine was more effective at lowering blood pressure than traditional red wine or gin. Red wine's polyphenols uninhibited by alcohol seem to be the blood pressure reducing element. |
| Parents' skin cancer concern doesn't keep kids inside Posted: 06 Sep 2012 11:48 AM PDT Does parents' increasing skin cancer awareness make indoor, obese kids? Nope. A new study shows that skin cancer concern doesn't affect kids' time outside. |
| Favorite TV reruns may have restorative powers Posted: 06 Sep 2012 11:46 AM PDT Scientist have found that watching a rerun of a favorite TV show may help restore the drive to get things done in people who have used up their reserves of willpower or self-control. |
| 'I knew it all along ... didn't I?' -- Understanding hindsight bias Posted: 06 Sep 2012 09:33 AM PDT The situation may be different each time, but we hear ourselves say it over and over again: "I knew it all along." The problem is that too often we actually didn't know it all along, we only feel as though we did. In a new article, psychological scientists explore existing research on "hindsight bias," identifying the factors that make us susceptible to the phenomenon and identifying some ways we might be able to combat it. |
| Breast cancer screening saves lives, new study shows Posted: 06 Sep 2012 08:22 AM PDT Women who undergo screening halve their risk of dying from breast cancer, a new study has found. The study is the largest of its kind in Australia and one of the largest in the world. It followed about 4,000 women in a study of the BreastScreen program in Western Australia. |
| More grandparents fill caregiver role Posted: 06 Sep 2012 08:17 AM PDT Grandparents, an increasingly important source of child care in the United States, vary greatly in the kind of care they provide. A new study shows that 60 percent of grandparents provided some care for their grandchildren during a 10-year period, and 70 percent of those who did provided care for two years or more. |
| Advanced maternal age not harmful for adult children, study suggests Posted: 06 Sep 2012 04:40 AM PDT Previously existing ideas on how advanced maternal age affects adult health of children have to be reconsidered. It had been thought that mothers delivering later in life have children that are less healthy as adults, because the body of the mother had already degenerated due to physiological effects like decreasing oocyte quality or a weakened placenta. In fact, what affects the health of the grown-up children is not the age of their mother but her education and the number of years she survives after giving birth and thus spends with her offspring, according to a new study. |
| Toddlers increasingly swallowing liquid detergent capsules Posted: 05 Sep 2012 05:12 PM PDT Doctors are calling for improved safety warnings and childproof packaging for laundry and dishwasher detergent liquitabs, following a cluster of incidents in which toddlers have inadvertently swallowed the capsules. |
