Study reveals distinct links between depression subtypes and metabolic diseases

It is known that depression is linked to increased incidence of metabolic diseases; now scientists have discovered that different types of depression are linked to different cardiometabolic diseases. This work is presented at the ECNP Congress in Amsterdam.

Home blood tests could spot early heart risks in young adults

Self-administered dried blood spot kits show potential for cardiometabolic screening in young adults, but success relied heavily on clear guidance and researcher support. High rates of at-risk biomarkers highlight an urgent need for early prevention in this population.

Study links housing type to cardiovascular death risk among older adults in Japan

A 6-year cohort study conducted by researchers from Japan, comprising nearly 39,000 older adults found that people living in rental flats and owner-occupied detached houses face higher risks of cardiovascular death compared with those in owner-occupied flats.

Working fewer hours may raise depression risk for older adults

The study links part-time work in older adults to higher depression rates, suggesting that less work doesn't always equate to better mental health outcomes.

Study links extended breastfeeding to stronger infant immune health

Breastfeeding until at least six months helps babies to fight off infections and reduces chronic inflammation, according to a new study. And better understanding the way specific nutrients in breast milk impact the immune system will improve health outcomes for all infants including those not breastfed.

Research finds a steady rise in cardiovascular-related complications during pregnancy

Cardiovascular-related health problems may occur in as many as 1 out of every 7 pregnancies, even among people who don't already have heart disease, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's flagship journal Circulation.

FDA grants approval to begin Phase I clinical trials of heart tissue regeneration drug AD-NP1

The body's tissues can get injured in many ways, but while some injuries heal perfectly, others don't heal at all. A cut in the skin, for example, usually heals all on its own, while internal organs, such as the heart after a heart attack or the kidney after an acute injury, remain damaged, leading to diminished function.

Unfavorable patterns of heart health through young adulthood linked to increased CVD risk later in life

Despite progress in past decades to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD), it remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. and worldwide.

Antihypertensive and lipid-lowering drugs show efficacy against steatotic liver disease

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is the most common liver disease in the world, affecting about one third of the adult population. This disorder is characterized by the accumulation of fat in liver cells, which has severe liver consequences and is also associated with a high mortality rate from cardiovascular disease.
