High Blood Pressure May Directly Accelerate Osteoarthritis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Osteoarthritis, where the cartilage in a joint gradually erodes away and leads to the painful friction of bone-on-bone, is the leading cause of disability for older adults worldwide. Until now, it's also been considered a consequence of mechanical wear and tear. Researchers led by a team from Chonnam National University in South Korea have come up with an alternative hypothesis: What if high blood pressure (hypertension) could also be contributing to the breakdown of cartilage tissue? In a new s
Popular Supplement Could Have an Unexpected Downside, Study Finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fish oil supplements have long been linked to a variety of brain benefits, but 2026 research suggests that one of the omega-3 fatty acids these supplements contain could interfere with the brain's repair processes. A study in mice affected by mild traumatic head injuries showed that animals fed diets containing the omega-3 fatty acid EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) performed worse on spatial memory and learning tasks after the injuries. Rather than omega-3s aiding recovery as previous research has s
How You Eat Your Fruit Is Linked to Heart Health, Study of 371,000 Americans Reveals (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the US, the official health recommendations for fruit are two cups per day for a diet based on 2,000 daily calories – but it's estimated that 8 in 10 people aren't reaching that level, and consuming less than half that amount. Earlier this year these Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) were updated to cover 2025 to 2030, and while the recommended amount of fruit intake didn't change from the previous edition, there was a more subtle shift: Americans were advised to prioritize whole fruit o
A Change in Your Voice Could Foreshadow Cognitive Decline, Major Study Finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Catching signs of dementia early – before the main symptoms have started to show – means a bigger window of opportunity to study the progression of the condition, and to put support in place for those affected. Past studies have looked at eye scans and blood tests as ways of doing this, for instance. Now new research suggests that worsening voice quality could also flag a higher chance of developing dementia in the years ahead. The discovery comes from a team at the Drexel University College of
New Study Shows What Really Happened After The Black Death Wiped Out Millions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The textbooks and history lessons tend to treat the Black Death as one devastating wave of pestilence that hit Europe between 1347 and 1353. However, the full story of the disease goes on for many centuries more. In a new study published in PNAS, researchers led by a team from the University of Tartu in Estonia reveal how the plague returned again and again in different regions, through until the 18th century. While this second plague pandemic isn't a new discovery, we haven't seen it mapped out
