Mental Attitude: What Harms the Young Heart Also Hurts the Brain Later in Life… High blood pressure, elevated cholesterol,
and smoking early in life can each increase the odds for mental decline during middle age. Researchers analyzed data from thousands
of people in Finland whose health history had been documented since childhood and found that individuals with either high blood
pressure or high cholesterol early in life, as well those who smoked during adolescence and young adulthood, exhibited worse mental
performance in their 50s. Journal of the American College of Cardiology, May 2017
Health Alert: Hormone Replacement Tied to Hearing Loss. A review of data from nearly 81,000 women in the United States
reveals that those who both underwent menopause at a later age and used oral hormone therapy had an elevated risk for hearing loss.
Furthermore, the researchers found that the longer a woman used hormone therapy, the greater her odds for developing hearing issues.
Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton, the executive director of the North American Menopause Society adds, “Information about the potential effect
on hearing is important to include in a discussion regarding the risks and benefits of hormone therapy for symptomatic menopausal
women.” North American Menopause Society, May 2017
Diet: Most Americans Love Fast Food. Americans of all economic classes regularly consume fast food. According to researchers,
middle-income Americans are the most likely to eat fast food, but only by a small margin compared with other income groups—even
the wealthiest of Americans. Overall, the study—which included nearly 8,000 adults—found that 79% of the participants eat fast food
at least once a week and 23% eat fast food three or more times per week. Economics & Human Biology, May 2017
Exercise: A Specific Combo Workout May Suit Obese Seniors the Best. A new study suggests that seniors should take up both
aerobic and resistance exercise when dieting to lose weight. In the study, researchers assigned 160 obese adults over the age 65 to one
of four groups: weight loss and aerobic training; weight loss and resistance training; weight loss and a combination of both types of
exercises; or weight loss alone (diet only, no exercise). At the end of the study, the investigators found that engaging in aerobic and
resistance exercise while losing weight enabled seniors to maintain more muscle mass and bone density than those who did just one
type of exercise or none at all. Furthermore, physical performance test scores increased by 21% in the combination exercise group
compared with only 14% among those who only performed either aerobic or resistance exercise. Study leader Dr. Dennis Villareal
notes, “The best way to improve functional status and reverse frailty in older adults with obesity is by means of diet and regular
exercise using a combination of resistance and aerobic exercise training.” New England Journal of Medicine, May 2017
Chiropractic: Low Back Pain May Lead to Several Psychological Issues… Patients with non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) are
more likely to experience trouble sleeping, anxiety, depression, and disability than individuals without back pain. NSLBP patients
with a sleep disorder have an elevated risk for severe anxiety, depression, and disability, in addition to a reduced ability to carry out
their daily tasks. Patients with both NSLBP and anxiety carry an increased risk for poor sleep quality, reduced work and social skills,
and increased back pain severity. Finally, NSLBP patients with depression also have a greater risk for poor sleep quality, a reduced
ability to carry out daily tasks, and decreased social and work skills. PeerJ, May 2017
Wellness/Prevention: High School Students Are Drinking Less. Drinking among high school students in the United States has
plummeted in recent years. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that high schoolers who said they
consumed alcohol dropped from about 50% of students in 1991 to about a third in 2015. The CDC also found that binge drinking
declined among high school students, from about 32% of all students in 1999 to about 18% in 2015.
