Youth fitness linked to lower atherosclerosis risk in middle-aged men

Men who were physically fit when they were young had a lower risk of atherosclerosis almost 40 years later, according to a study led by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden. The findings, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, suggest that atherosclerosis is one of the mechanisms behind the link between physical fitness and […]

Physical inactivity and inflammation drive age-related gene changes in skeletal muscles

New research indicates that some age-related changes in gene and protein expression in the skeletal muscles of older individuals may be affected more by physical inactivity and chronic inflammation than primary aging, or intrinsic maturational processes. Physical inactivity and chronic inflammation are the most important drivers of secondary aging, or changes over time that are […]

Air Force cadets’ nutrition knowledge linked to success in gravitational acceleration test, study finds

In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers explored how nutrition knowledge, physical strength and activity, and body composition are related to whether Air Force cadets lose consciousness during the Gravitational Acceleration Test (G-test). The findings indicate that cadets who remained conscious and passed the test had better nutrition knowledge and were more physically […]

Growing meat with built-in growth factors cuts costs

Cellular agriculture – the production of meat from cells grown in bioreactors rather than harvested from farm animals – is taking leaps in technology that are making it a more viable option for the food industry. One such leap has now been made at the Tufts University Center for Cellular Agriculture (TUCCA), led by David […]

The association between handgrip strength and functional outcomes in long COVID-19

In a recent longitudinal study published in Scientific Reports, researchers from Brazil investigated the potential association between dynapenia (loss of muscle strength and power) with functional outcomes in patients with long coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). They found that in patients with long COVID, low handgrip strength (HGS) is associated with worse functional outcomes. They further […]

Nanobots for bladder cancer treatment, promising high efficacy and targeted delivery

Bladder cancer is currently treated in its earlier stages by localized intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy after removing the tumor. However, recurrences occur in up to 70% of patients at 5 years, while up to 30% fail to respond. This means a constant need to monitor and retreat these patients, driving costs sky-high for the treatment […]

Adverse childhood experiences may increase the odds of muscle dysmorphia in young people

A new study published in Clinical Social Work Journal found that adolescents and young adults who experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) before the age of 18 were significantly more likely to experience symptoms of muscle dysmorphia. With previous research showing that more than half of North American children and adolescents experience at least one adverse […]

Social support needed to reduce the barriers in accessing cardiac rehabilitation

Noted experts in cardiovascular rehabilitation attending the Third Jim Pattison-Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute Cardiac Rehabilitation Symposium (Banff, April 21-23, 2023) observed that although cardiac rehabilitation benefits diverse groups of patients and affords the most cost-effective prevention for recurrent events, it is grossly underutilized globally. They concluded that access is the hardest obstacle for patients to […]

MIT engineers design workout mat for cells to study exercise’s mechanical effects

There’s no doubt that exercise does a body good, including strengthening and toning our muscles. But how exactly does exercise make this happen? As we run and lift and stretch, our muscles experience chemical signals from surrounding cells, as well as mechanical forces from jostling against tissues. Some physiologists wonder: Is it the body’s natural […]

Let’s have an honest conversation about what to expect as you age

Oct 20 2023 How many of us have wanted a reliable, evidence-based guide to aging that explains how our bodies and minds change as we grow older and how to adapt to those differences? Creating a work of this kind is challenging. For one thing, aging gradually alters people over decades, a long period shaped […]
