Yogurt’s impact on bone health falls short of fracture protection, review finds

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that while yogurt consumption shows a modest positive association with bone health markers, its effect on bone mineral density and fracture prevention in adults is clinically negligible. Current evidence is based solely on observational studies, with low certainty and limited characterization of yogurt products.

Mediterranean-style diets improve pelvic floor function and sexual health, review finds

This systematic review and meta-analysis of 31 studies reveals that healthy, anti-inflammatory dietary patterns, particularly the Mediterranean and DASH diets, are linked to improved sexual function and reduced incontinence symptoms in pelvic floor dysfunction.

Why improving LE8 scores could save young adults from diabetes

Young adults with prediabetes who maintained higher Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) cardiovascular health scores were far less likely to progress to type 2 diabetes over 13 years.
