	Can cheese help prevent dementia? Japanese researchers say it might Older Japanese adults who ate cheese at least once a week had a 21–24% lower risk of developing dementia over three years. The association remained significant even after adjusting for lifestyle and socioeconomic factors, suggesting a modest but meaningful protective effect.

	Study finds bright nights raise risk for stroke and heart failure in adults over 40 A large UK Biobank study found that higher night-time light exposure is linked to significantly greater risks of coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular conditions. The findings suggest maintaining darker nights and adequate daytime light could support heart health.

			What Britain’s post-war sugar rationing teaches us about long-term heart health A BMJ study found that individuals exposed to sugar rationing during their first 1,000 days of life had significantly lower risks of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure in adulthood. Early-life sugar restriction was linked to a 2.5-year delay in cardiovascular disease onset, suggesting long-term benefits for heart health.

			Are ultra-processed plant foods really worse than meat? Scientists weigh in A new review challenges assumptions about ultra-processed foods, finding that plant-based versions, such as soymilk, meat analogs, and soft margarines, may lower cholesterol and disease risk compared with unprocessed animal foods when used as replacements.

	Study finds small but significant sprint gains from dark chocolate milk intake A new study found that consuming dark chocolate milk before exercise modestly enhanced anaerobic sprint performance in healthy young adults. The gains, seen in total effort time and power output, were small but potentially meaningful for competitive athletes.

	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.

	Night shift work may raise risk of irritable bowel syndrome The study indicates that night shift work increases irritable bowel syndrome risk, particularly among those with obesity, due to circadian rhythm disturbances.

	Obesity’s health risks shift with age and sex, new genetic study reveals Using a new time-resolved Mendelian randomization approach in over 360,000 UK Biobank participants, Karlsson et al. revealed that the causal impact of obesity changes across life, with distinct age- and sex-specific risk patterns for diabetes, heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and osteoarthritis.

	AI-powered LifeClock forecasts diseases years before symptoms appear Researchers have developed LifeClock, an AI-driven biological clock trained on over 24 million electronic health records to estimate biological age across the human lifespan. The model accurately predicts disease risk years in advance, revealing distinct developmental and aging processes.

	How many headers are too many before football crosses the safety line? A systematic review in the British Journal of Sports Medicine finds major inconsistencies in how heading impacts are measured, urging the use of wearable technology and standardized metrics to safeguard players from potential long-term brain injury.

	Discovery offers a breakthrough approach to combat prostate tumor growth Prostate cancer relies on genetic "switches", called enhancers, that can turn on tumor-promoting genes.

	Breakthrough combo therapy lowers death risk in recurrent prostate cancer Men whose prostate cancer returns after surgery or radiation therapy may now benefit from a new drug combination shown in clinical trials to cut the risk of death by more than 40%.

	Football injuries, not injections, explain why retired players face higher osteoarthritis risk Retired UK male footballers face a markedly higher risk of foot and ankle osteoarthritis (OA), primarily due to prior injuries sustained during their careers. While corticosteroid injections were linked with OA, this association likely reflects treatment for injury rather than a direct cause.

	E. coli in retail meat linked to thousands of urinary infections Research reveals a significant link between E. coli in meat and urinary tract infections, particularly in vulnerable communities in Southern California.
