WHO reviews highlight limited long-term data on GLP-1 drug safety

Three new Cochrane reviews find evidence that GLP-1 drugs result in clinically meaningful weight loss, but industry-funded studies raise questions. The reviews were commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO) to inform upcoming guidelines on the use of these drugs to treat obesity.

Aligning your body clock may protect your heart and metabolism, says AHA

A new American Heart Association scientific statement highlights how maintaining circadian health through regular sleep, light exposure, meal timing, and exercise may reduce cardiometabolic disease risk. Disrupting these daily rhythms can impair glucose regulation, blood pressure, and cardiovascular function.

Retaining gonad function could be a potent strategy to fight late-life frailty

Frailty threatens older individuals because it increases their vulnerability to detrimental health outcomes, such as falling, longer hospitalization, or even shortened life expectancy.

Flavanol-rich foods offer vascular protection during extended sitting

New research from the University of Birmingham shows that eating flavanol-rich foods-like tea, berries, apples, and cocoa-can protect vascular health in men from the harmful effects of prolonged sitting.

How branding and peer pressure keep kids hooked on energy drinks

Children and adolescents in North East England still find energy drinks easy to access despite a voluntary UK ban, drawn by taste, price, and powerful marketing. Hydration drinks like PRIME are viewed as “healthier,” even though young consumers often misunderstand their ingredients and health impacts.

Women gain stronger heart protection from exercise than men, study reveals

Researchers analyzing over 85,000 UK Biobank participants found that women gain greater cardiovascular benefits from physical activity than men, needing only half the exercise to achieve similar reductions in coronary heart disease and mortality risk. The study underscores the importance of sex-specific guidelines for CHD prevention.

Clinical Frailty Scale can quickly predict mortality in patients with heart failure

Frailty is closely linked to adverse outcomes in older adults, particularly those with heart failure. Numerous epidemiologic studies show that frailty has important prognostic value in this population, underscoring the need for routine assessment.

Circadian rhythm disruptions may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease

As modern lifestyles increasingly challenge the body's natural circadian rhythm, the American Heart Association is spotlighting the potential health consequences of regular disruptions to our body's internal clock with a new scientific statement published today in its flagship journal Circulation.

Self-affirmations can increase people's general well-being

Self-affirmations – brief exercises in which people reflect on their core values, identity and positive traits – can increase people's general well-being and make them happier in small but significant ways, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.

Generative AI-driven model can help prevent injuries in athletes

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have created a model driven by generative AI that will help prevent injuries in athletes and also aid in rehabilitation after an injury. The model could also help athletes train better.

Most Americans risk Lyme disease in their own backyards by skipping simple tick prevention

A large U.S. survey found that most adults and children frequently engage in outdoor activities that expose them to ticks, yet only a minority consistently use protective measures. Despite widespread awareness of Lyme disease, prevention behaviors remain inconsistent, especially during routine yard time.

New BRIGHT Center aims to build resilience after trauma

The Medical University of South Carolina has been awarded more than $11 million by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences over five years to establish a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) to build resilience after trauma, which will be known as the South Carolina Building Resilience through Innovative Interventions to promote Growth and Health after Trauma COBRE, or the BRIGHT Center.

A little walking goes a long way: 4,000 steps linked to lower mortality in older women

Older women who achieved at least 4,000 steps per day for just one or two days each week showed significantly lower risks of death and cardiovascular disease. The study suggests that total step volume, not frequency, drives these benefits, redefining what “enough movement” means for health.

Exposure to bright light at night can increase heart disease risk

A new study led by Flinders University has found that being exposed to bright light at night can significantly increase the chances of developing serious heart problems, including heart attacks, strokes and heart failure.
