| New Tool to Measure the Speed of Aging: Your handshake Posted: 07 May 2014 06:14 PM PDT A strong handshake can say a lot about a person —- it can indicate power, confidence, health, or aggression. Now scientists say that the strength of a person's grasp may also be one of the most useful ways to measure people's true age. |
| Overestimation of radiation exposure may keep women from critical screening Posted: 07 May 2014 01:52 PM PDT Misinformation and misunderstanding about the risks associated with ionizing radiation create heightened public concern and fear, and may result in avoidance of screening mammography that can detect early cancers. The authors conclude that medical personnel should make concerted effort to accurately inform women of the risks and benefits of mammography—specifically highlighting the low dose of mammographic ionizing radiation—and provide objective facts to ensure that women make informed decisions about screening. |
| Early depression, anger may taint love life even 20 years later, study shows Posted: 07 May 2014 10:27 AM PDT Negative emotions people may have suffered as young adults can have a lasting grip on their couple relationships, well into middle age, research demonstrates. The study followed 341 people for 25 years, and found that negative emotions they may have suffered as young adults can have a lasting grip on their couple relationships, well into middle age. The fact that depression and anger experienced during the teen years clung to people, even through major life events such as child-rearing, marriages and careers was surprising, researchers note. |

| When newlyweds believe in sharing household chores, follow-through is everything Posted: 06 May 2014 04:07 PM PDT Of all the starry-eyed just-married couples you know, which couples are likely to stay the happiest? A study says chances for bliss are highest when husband and wife both believe in divvying up the household labor equally. But that happiness won't last long if one partner is perceived as not carrying their fair share of the load. |
| College kids need to change unhealthy ways Posted: 06 May 2014 01:13 PM PDT A new study has found that the majority of college students are engaging in unhealthy behaviors that could increase their risk of cancer later on. A shocking 95 percent of college students fail to eat the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables (five or more servings a day), and more than 60 percent report not getting enough physical activity (three or more days of vigorous exercise for at least 20 minutes or five or more days of moderate exercise for at least 30 minutes a week). |
| Impulsivity is risk factor for food addiction Posted: 06 May 2014 11:21 AM PDT Have you ever said to yourself that you would only have a handful of potato chips from the bag then, minutes later, realized you ate the whole thing? A recent study shows that this type of impulsive behavior might not be easily controlled -- and could be a risk factor in the development of food addiction and eating disorders as a result of cellular activities in the part of the brain involved with reward. |
| Three of four heavily breastfed infants not getting needed dietary diversity between 6-12 months Posted: 04 May 2014 06:52 AM PDT Approximately three of every four infants heavily breastfeed after the age of six months is not obtaining the level of dietary diversity recommended by the World Health Organization, according to a new study.
