 | | |  Dutch study shows why plant-based eating can miss key nutrients A Dutch dietary modeling study found that replacing major animal-based protein sources with plant-based substitutes reduced protein, EAA, vitamin, and mineral intake across age groups. Older adults, adolescents, children, and women were especially vulnerable to shortfalls, highlighting the need for planned substitutions, fortified foods, and age-specific dietary guidance. | | | | |  Study maps how exercise, sleep, diet, and mood connect in daily life Researchers followed 79 U.S. adults for 70 days and found that daily lifestyle behaviors clustered with positive and negative affect across same-day, next-day, and between-person patterns. Person-specific networks showed that these daily habits and mood links varied widely, suggesting future lifestyle interventions may need to be more personalized. | |

|  | | | | |  Children and adults who eat more live microbe-rich foods have healthier diets French children and adults widely consumed foods likely to contain live microbes, mainly yogurt, unpasteurised cheese, fruits, and vegetables. Higher intake was associated with more nutrient-rich diets and better diet quality scores, but the cross-sectional study cannot prove health benefits. | |  | | | | |  Study finds early-onset Parkinson’s burden has more than doubled worldwide A GBD 2021 analysis of 204 countries and territories found that early-onset Parkinson’s disease burden among people aged 20 to 49 more than doubled from 1990 to 2021. Age-standardized incidence, prevalence, and disability rates rose globally, with higher estimated burden among males, rapid growth in middle and high-middle SDI regions, and moderate ecological correlations with pesticide use. | |

| | | |  A new meta-analysis suggests that okra may modestly improve key cardiovascular risk markers in people with diabetes, but researchers warn that the evidence is not strong enough to replace standard medical care. Study: Biological aging and generational shifts in early-onset cancer risk. | | | | |  A new study developed a snore-source classification model that uses STFT spectrograms, pretrained CNN features, and an L2-regularized SVM to identify where snoring originates in the upper airway. Tested on the MPSSC dataset, the approach achieved a 67.1% test-set unweighted average recall, the highest value among the compared methods, but still needs external clinical validation. | | | | |  Proteomic age clocks applied to two European cohorts linked faster biological aging with smoking, alcohol use, physical inactivity, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and several cancers. The Global proteomic clock predicted mortality as well as established lifestyle risk factors, while organ-specific clocks showed stronger links with related cancers of the kidney, lung, and stomach. | | | | |  A new meta-analysis suggests that CBD may improve emotional behavior and cognition in animal models, but researchers caution that its clinical benefits still need to be proven in humans. | | | | |  KFF’s 2026 tracking poll found that many U.S. adults have heard common vaccine myths, including false claims about MMR, COVID-19, mRNA vaccines, and measles vaccines. Fewer adults strongly believe these myths, but a large, uncertain “malleable middle” remains, especially among those without a trusted health care provider, frequent social media users, some AI health-information users, and parents who delayed or skipped childhood vaccines. | | | | |  Research indicates that certain statins, particularly atorvastatin and simvastatin, may elevate the risk of erectile dysfunction, impacting men's health. | | | | |  A new study used pathway-level blood metabolomics to identify lifestyle-associated metabolic patterns linked to physical, cognitive, and daily functional performance across CN, MCI, and AD. The findings suggest that diet- and activity-linked pathway signals span energy, amino acid, lipid, inflammatory, oxidative stress, and microbiome-related metabolism, but require independent and longitudinal validation. | | | | |  A meta-analysis of 27 studies involving 21,263 adults linked swiping-based dating app use to small-to-moderate adverse mental health correlates, especially compulsive use, body image concerns, and appearance-related anxiety. General well-being was not significantly associated with app use in the primary analysis, and the authors stressed that mostly cross-sectional evidence cannot prove causality. | | | | |  A systematic review and meta-analysis of 28 cohort-based studies found a weak but statistically significant association between allergic diseases and later cancer incidence. The signal was strongest in the Western Pacific region and among people with asthma, but high heterogeneity and limited subgroup evidence mean the findings require caution. | | | | |  Doctors have few options for patients who develop a life-threatening lung condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS. | | | | |  Patients with advanced prostate cancer may need periodic imaging scans to catch tumor growth even with stable levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein in the blood that doctors routinely monitor for cancer progression, according to an analysis led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Duke University. | | | | |  Genetic factors primarily explain the link between parental and childhood BMI, with maternal obesity impacting birth weight more than later childhood obesity. | | | | |  Blood-based circular RNAs showed strong potential for identifying biomarker-confirmed Alzheimer’s disease and predicting progression to symptomatic disease. When combined with pTau217, the circRNA model produced the strongest predictive performance, but larger prospective validation is still needed. | | | | |  The prostate is the single organ most frequently afflicted by cancer in men. Prostate cancer affects approximately 4 million American men, with another 330,000 men expected to be diagnosed with the condition this year alone. | | | | |  A blood test does not lie, exactly. It reports a number. The question raised by a new mini-review in Brain Medicine, which gathers and weighs a decade of scattered findings, is whether clinicians have been reading the same number in two different ways without realizing it. | | | | |  Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have demonstrated that it is possible to create early germ cells from preserved testicular tissue of young boys facing cancer therapy. | |
