COVID-19 mortality gap between men and women narrowed sharply as the pandemic progressed

Men experienced higher absolute excess mortality than women across many high-income countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly during pre-vaccine mortality peaks. Relative differences were much smaller, showing that sex disparities depended strongly on baseline mortality, age, country, and pandemic phase.

What 3,600 adults with diabetes revealed about lifestyle and heart health

In 3,612 British adults with type 2 diabetes, greater adherence to the Mediterranean Lifestyle Index was associated with lower risks of major adverse cardiovascular events, cardiovascular death, and all-cause mortality over more than a decade of follow-up. Dietary patterns, physical activity, rest, and social habits all contributed to the observed associations, although the observational study cannot establish causality.

Moderate fruit juice intake could help close vitamin C gaps in UK diets

UK dietary modeling found that fruit juice contributed substantially to vitamin C intake, although around four in five participants already met the national Reference Nutrient Intake. The simulations examined whether changing fruit juice consumption among existing consumers or introducing moderate intake among non-consumers could improve vitamin C adequacy while limiting additional free sugars.

Researchers put olive and fish oil IV nutrition under the microscope

A systematic review of six randomized trials compared olive-oil-based and fish-oil-containing parenteral nutrition in hospitalized adults, examining infection, inflammation, oxidative stress, liver function, and clinical outcomes. The included studies involved diverse patient groups and lipid formulations, with substantial variation in outcomes and insufficient evidence for a meta-analysis.

Women with type 2 diabetes saw striking changes after 24 weeks of this eating pattern

A 24-week randomized trial found that a lacto-vegetarian diet combined with 14-hour time-restricted eating improved glycemic control, insulin resistance, body weight, and lipid measures in Indian women with type 2 diabetes. The combined, nutritionist-supported intervention was generally well tolerated, but its individual dietary and fasting effects cannot be separated and longer-term studies are needed.
