Menopause: Early HRT start may lower heart disease risk by 27% (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Previous research shows that women are generally at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease after reaching menopause. This increased heart disease risk is due to several different factors, including lower levels of the hormone estrogen, stiffening of blood vessels, and changes in cholesterol and general metabolism. Past studies have found that taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also known as menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), may help lower a womanâs heart disease risk during and after
Longevity: AI-designed drug appears to slow down aging in trial (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more commonplace at work and in our everyday lives, the same is happening in health care. For example, researchers are already looking at using AI to assist with the prediction of certain diseases, including Alzheimerâs disease, Parkinsonâs disease, and breast cancer. Scientists are also using AI to develop medications and therapies. For instance, in June 2026, researchers announced the development of the worldâs first vaccine designed by AI and succ
Dementia: Treating high blood pressure may lower risk by 15% (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Past studies have linked cardiovascular disease to a higher risk of dementia â a group of neurological diseases, such as Alzheimerâs disease, that impact a personâs memory and thinking skills. Some heart issues linked to a higher risk for dementia include coronary heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, atherosclerosis, and hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. Now, a new study presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2026 found that comm
Could vaccinating against shingles help prevent heart problems? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2017, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of a new shingles vaccine called a recombinant zoster vaccine (brand name Shingrix) to eventually replace the use of the live-virus shingles vaccine Zostavax. The Centers for Disease Commission and Control (CDC) recommend that adults aged 50 and older should receive 2 doses of the recombinant zoster vaccine to help prevent shingles. Over the last few years, researchers have examined how Shingrix may help in other areas of health. P
Starting HRT earlier may help reduce dementia, Alzheimer's risk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2021, 57 million people globally were living with dementia. Of that number, about 65% are women, including postmenopausal women or women who have undergone menopause. Previous research shows there are several reasons why postmenopausal women face a higher risk of developing dementia than men, including loss of the hormone estrogen, brain structural changes, and co-occurring symptoms of menopause that may lead to a higher dementia risk, such as
