$Poor physical function, not bone density, drives higher fracture risk in older women with type 2 diabetes$

Poor physical function, not bone density, drives higher fracture risk in older women with type 2 diabetes

Study indicates that older women with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of fractures primarily due to impaired physical function rather than reduced bone density, despite stronger bone structure.

Plant-based diet proven to combat hypertension

Doctors recommend making fruits and vegetables a foundational part of the treatment of patients with hypertension. Diets high in fruits and vegetables are found to lower blood pressure, reduce cardiovascular risk, and improve kidney health due to their base-producing effects. A new study in The American Journal of Medicine, published by Elsevier, details the findings from a five-year interventional randomized control trial.
