Unpacking negative body talk: Fat talk holds stronger impact on mental health, while old talk still raises concerns

Research investigates the impact of "old talk" (negative age-related body talk) on mental health and quality of life, highlighting its limited exploration compared to "fat talk." The study examines the contribution of old talk and fat talk to negative outcomes, considering their correlation and interaction with age.

Researchers produce a multi-scale map of protein assemblies in the DNA damage response

Writing in the May 22, 2023 issue of Cell Systems, a diverse team of scientists, led by researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, have produced a novel map that depicts the human body's enormously complicated and highly evolved system for addressing and repairing DNA damage - a cause and consequence of many diseases.

Young people are having less sex than their parents did at their age. Researchers explore why.

Young adults aren't behaving the way their parents did: They're not drinking as much, they're facing more mental health challenges, and they're living with their parents longer. On top of that, computer games and social media have become a sort of stand-in for physical relationships.

People with higher long-term hair glucocorticoid levels more likely to develop heart, circulatory diseases

New research being presented at this year's European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Dublin, Ireland (17-20 May) suggests that glucocorticoid levels (a class of steroid hormones secreted as a response to stress) present in the hair of individuals may indicate which of them are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in the future.
