| Working too much is correlated with two-fold increase in likelihood of depression Posted: 25 Jan 2012 02:23 PM PST The odds of a major depressive episode are more than double for those working 11 or more hours a day compared to those working seven to eight hours a day.  |
| Middle-age risk factors drive greater lifetime risk for heart disease Posted: 25 Jan 2012 02:20 PM PST A new study reports that while an individual's risk of heart disease may be low in the next five or 10 years, the lifetime risk could still be very high, findings that could have implications for both clinical practice and public health policy.  |
| Mild cognitive impairment is common, affects men most, study finds Posted: 25 Jan 2012 01:34 PM PST Researchers report that more than 6 percent of Americans age 70 to 89 develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) every year. Also, the condition appears to affect men and those who only have a high school education more than women and those who have completed some higher education. People with MCI are at the stage between suffering the normal forgetfulness associated with aging and developing dementia, such as that caused by Alzheimer's disease.  |
| High animal fat diet increases gestational diabetes risk, study finds Posted: 25 Jan 2012 01:34 PM PST Women who consumed a diet high in animal fat and cholesterol before pregnancy were at higher risk for gestational diabetes than women whose diets were lower in animal fat and cholesterol, according to researchers.  |
| Posted: 25 Jan 2012 10:11 AM PST Sending a text message leads people to lie more often than in other forms of communication, according to new research.  |
| Teen passengers: 'The other distraction' for teen drivers Posted: 24 Jan 2012 06:25 AM PST New studies describe which teens are likely to drive with multiple friends, and how these passengers may affect teen drivers right before a crash.  |
| Junk food in schools doesn’t cause weight gain among children, study suggests Posted: 17 Jan 2012 11:33 AM PST While the percentage of obese children in the United States tripled between the early 1970s and the late 2000s, a new study suggests that -- at least for middle school students -- weight gain has nothing to do with the candy, soda, chips, and other junk food they can purchase at school.  |
