It was surprising to me and I am in the business. Perhaps it is not so surprising in cities like New york,

In Los angeles, only 12%of households are car-less, and in affluent San jose, heart of Silicon valley, it is only 5. 8

#Spotting inherited heart disease before it strikes CM affects one in 2500 adults, with an annual incidence of between 5%and 8%per 100 000, says INHERITANCE coordinator Professor Eloisa Arbustini of the Foundation IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo. t is one of the leading causes

But unlike today, very stringent water restrictions much more severe than any now in placewere impacting residences as well as commercial facilities.

For instance, some households in Marin county, just north of San francisco, were restricted to 44 gallons of water per person per day0 gallons less per day than normal usage.

They also have telomeres that are shorter by the equivalent of six years in adults.

Researchers studied roughlyâ#80000 households from 600 villages and found a 64 percent drop in mortality from diseases covered by insurance.

##The study published in the journalâ#BMJ included more than 82000 households. Since the program was phased covering poor households in the northern part of Karnataka in the first phase before expanding to the rest of the state the study compared the health outcomes of roughly 45000 households from villages that were covered by the insurance to roughly 37000 households

from villages that were covered not by the program.####The study shows that public policy can play a strong role in reducing disparities in health due to socioeconomic status. In villages without insurance the poor had much higher mortality than the rich

but such disparities were eliminated completely in villages with insurance coverage##says Neeraj Sood professor and director of research at the Schaeffer Center for Health policy and Economics at University of Southern California.##

In addition, researchers used two-way mirrors to evaluate child-caregiver interactions because the team earlier research had shown that a lack of parental nurturing is an important risk factor for recurrence of depression.

#Depression can be deadly for older Americans Older adults in the US who suffer from major depression face a 43 percent increased risk of death, especially from cardiovascular disease or cancer, according to a new study. here a major link

and mortality, says Jarron M. Saint Onge. here something that leading to early death. And that taking out smoking, taking out exercise, all these behavioral factors that would explain it.

and mortality is not due solely to people smoking or exhibiting unhealthy behaviors or experiencing chronic conditions that contribute to a higher risk of mortality.

OMETHING UNIQUE ABOUT DEPRESSIONWHEN the researchers adjusted for factors such as marital status, education, employment status, family income, alcohol consumption, level of physical activity, smoking status, body mass, functional limitations,

and chronic conditions, they still found an independent association among major depression and increased risk of non-suicide mortality among the age group.

This includes findings that major depression was associated with 2. 68 times the risk of cardiovascular disease mortality among those who did not have cardiovascular disease at the baseline.

but it also important because it stands as an independent risk factor in mortality. There might be something unique about depression,

that there something about depression that might lead to an increased risk of mortality. He says related research has suggested major depression may have a physiological effect on blood pressure or arterial tightening that can cause cardiovascular disease. t physiologically important

For the mortality data, researchers examined the 1999 National Health Interview Study linked to the 2006 National Death Index,

but also to the very different needs of adults and adolescents. The rapid growth and hormonal changes of adolescence produces insulin requirements that are two to three times greater than those of adults of the same body weight,

explains Damiano, associate professor of biomedical engineering at BU. And even though the dosage needs of adults are more predictable,

contracting a typical illness like a cold or upset stomach can dramatically change the need for insulin over a period of days to weeks.

Both groups had quite good levels in the usual care armsverages of 159 for both adults

with average blood sugar levels of 133 for the adults and 142 for adolescents. Fewer instances of hypoglycemia on the bionic pancreas also reduced the need for carbohydrate doses to raise blood sugar.
