In London, children’s lungs grow faster as traffic pollution falls (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cutting traffic pollution is linked to faster lung growth in children, according to a new study conducted in London. To reduce the health effects of air pollution, many cities have introduced so-called Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZs). These schemes restrict or charge drivers of more polluting vehicles to encourage cleaner transport. A study published in The Lancet Public Health suggests that reducing traffic pollution can benefit children’s lung health. Scientists from Queen Mary University of
Strength training during pregnancy may help reduce diabetes risk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Go to a gym these days and you may see more and more pregnant women doing just that: strength training. New research suggests it could have benefits beyond building muscle, including a possible lower risk of gestational diabetes and better quality of life. In a randomised clinical trial published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, researchers studied 209 pregnant women who were overweight or had obesity. The women were randomly assigned to either a strength training program or usu
When new albums drop, traffic deaths rise, study finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new US study suggests traffic fatalities increase when music streaming surges. Researchers found that the number of traffic deaths was 15.1% higher on days when major music albums were released than on surrounding days. The researchers say using smartphones to stream music could be an overlooked source of driver distraction. They stress, however, that the study does not show that streaming music caused the additional deaths. The study, published in JAMA Network Open, examined 233,809 traffic f
Heatwaves don’t end at sunset. Here’s what hot nights do to your sleep (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As temperatures rise, so does the risk of a bad night’s sleep. While much of the focus during heatwaves is on staying safe when temperatures soar above 35°C, the effects of hot nights on sleep and health are less well understood. A recent study using data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service found that nights are warming particularly quickly. Since the 1970s, the minimum “feels-like” temperature during the 10 warmest nights of the year has risen by 0.32°C per decade globally, according to
Astronauts get constipated in space. Scientists may now know why (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Constipation is a common problem for astronauts. But exactly why the intestines slow down in space has remained unclear. Now, researchers from the University of Copenhagen, working with NASA, say they have found clues in the blood of astronauts that could help explain what happens to the gut when the body leaves Earth. The researchers analysed blood samples from 52 astronauts who spent months aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Their findings suggest that changes in the gut begin relat
