| |  A cross-sectional study of 27,003 adults in Northeast China found that higher consumption of processed bean products and soy isoflavones was associated with lower odds of chronic kidney disease, while plain bean intake showed no significant association. The relationship with soy isoflavones was stronger in women, although the observational findings cannot establish whether these foods protect against kidney disease. | |

| |  Findings suggest omega-3 supplements improve blood pressure and inflammatory biomarkers in hypertensive patients, indicating potential therapeutic benefits. | |
|
| |  In a Viewpoint, researchers examined evidence that exercise can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, support cognition, and may help lower the risk of cognitive decline, although evidence for dementia prevention remains largely observational. | |
|
| |  Most of us have heard the advice so often that it has worn smooth, like a stone in a river: get some exercise. A new peer-reviewed Viewpoint in Brain Health, drawing on randomized trials, meta-analyses, and cohort studies, argues that this familiar sentence has been doing the wrong job. | |
|
| |  A hospital-based case-control study involving 495 adults in Iran found that higher healthy lifestyle scores were associated with lower odds of cardiovascular disease, even after adjustment for demographic and socioeconomic factors. Physical activity and recreation showed the strongest numerical association per questionnaire point, although the observational design could not establish whether healthier habits prevented cardiovascular disease. | |

| |  For people with painful knee osteoarthritis (OA) who are overweight or have obesity, everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs and standing up from a chair can be difficult. | |
|
| |  A new study led by UTHealth Houston identified a link between late-night eating and sleeping habits, gut health, and metabolic disease, offering new insights into why some individuals with obesity may face risk of inflammation and related health problems. | |
|
| |  Patients with stable heart disease and abnormal stress tests who have invasive procedures early in their care do not live longer than those initially treated with drugs and lifestyle changes alone, an international study shows. | |
|
| |  An analysis of 48,991 Korean adults found that average daily caffeine intake from beverages increased between 2016 and 2024, while the odds of consuming at least 400 mg of caffeine on a single day rose by approximately 5% annually. Coffee remained the predominant caffeine source, with a shift from prepared coffee mixes toward brewed coffee and distinct consumption patterns across age groups and sexes. | |
|
| |  A multi-component nutritional supplement has been found to improve markers of vascular health, in a randomized controlled trial led by the University of Surrey. | |
|
| |  If you drink coffee regularly, it appears to alter not only your gut bacteria but also the physiology of the gut itself. That is the conclusion of a study from the University of Copenhagen, which may help point the way towards better treatments for constipation. | |
