Computer model linked to future hip fracture risk

In the Korean cohort, the adjusted model’s risk-ranking score was 0.900, versus 0.802 for age, sex and body mass index, a weight-for-height measure.In the Korean cohort, the adjusted model’s risk-ranking score was 0.900, versus 0.802 for age, sex and body mass index, a weight-for-height measure.

Variation in one sleep stage dipped briefly before heart attacks

Night-to-night variation fell 30–16 days before a first recorded heart attack in 45 adults, then returned toward earlier levels during the final 15 days.Night-to-night variation fell 30–16 days before a first recorded heart attack in 45 adults, then returned toward earlier levels during the final 15 days.

Diabetes drugs linked to mixed risks across the body

Among 70,982 adults followed for up to five years, researchers identified 65 lower-risk and 53 higher-risk associations compared with other diabetes drugs.Among 70,982 adults followed for up to five years, researchers identified 65 lower-risk and 53 higher-risk associations compared with other diabetes drugs.

Telmisartan linked to lower osteoporosis or fracture risk

Telmisartan use was associated with a lower combined risk of osteoporosis or osteoporotic fracture (adjusted hazard ratio 0.65 versus other blood pressure drugs in the…Telmisartan use was associated with a lower combined risk of osteoporosis or osteoporotic fracture (adjusted hazard ratio 0.65 versus other blood pressure drugs in the same class).

Diabetes drug class not clearly linked to added harm in adults 75-plus

A Canadian cohort compared 4,997 older adults starting one diabetes drug class with 1,289 starting another, but some harm estimates remained imprecise.A Canadian cohort compared 4,997 older adults starting one diabetes drug class with 1,289 starting another, but some harm estimates remained imprecise.
