Hospital scales downplay deadly belly fat in diabetic patients - Nation Online (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nearly a quarter of adults attending diabetes clinics in Malawi’s top three hospitals carry dangerous abdominal fat levels that weighing scales fail to detect, a new study reveals. The findings, published this month in the international journal Diseases, are based on a study of 1 356 men and women with Type 2 diabetes at Mzuzu, Kamuzu and Zomba central hospitals between November 2024 and January 2025. The researchers examined how two measurements of excess weight vary—body mass index (BMI), whic

Read excerpt
As the world braces for spiking food scarcity due to evolving El Nino weather, global land talks in Mongolia are winding up with eyes on money for restorative action.

Scientific reports show that degradation and drought already affect up to 40 percent of the world’s land and 3.2 billion
Self-taught skills get a nod - Nation Online (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What good can come from self-taught skilled hands as certified artisans struggle to find jobs? This question makes sense until someone without a certificate springs up to fix a sudden or stubborn fault. The unlikely messiah could be a rural Jim or Jane who expertly repairs a car radio that bamboozled well-trained electronics repairers in your town. It may as well be an underrated roadside fellow who pinpoints and resolves with remarkable ease and experience a fuel pump fault of your misfiring ve
