    Two PDE4 inhibitors extend lifespan in worms

    In laboratory experiments, roflumilast and rolipram lengthened roundworm lifespan by activating a signalling pathway that improved mitochondrial function and alleviated…In laboratory experiments, roflumilast and rolipram lengthened roundworm lifespan by activating a signalling pathway that improved mitochondrial function and alleviated oxidative stress.

    Higher glucose disposal rate linked to lower multimorbidity risk

    In two prospective cohorts, each standard deviation increase in estimated glucose disposal rate was associated with a 40% lower risk of multiple cardiometabolic diseases.In two prospective cohorts, each standard deviation increase in estimated glucose disposal rate was associated with a 40% lower risk of multiple cardiometabolic diseases.

    Poor sleep patterns are linked to higher osteoporosis risk

    In 63,083 UK adults, short sleep had a hazard ratio of 1.16, irregular sleep 1.21, and low sleep efficiency 1.23 for incident osteoporosis.In 63,083 UK adults, short sleep had a hazard ratio of 1.16, irregular sleep 1.21, and low sleep efficiency 1.23 for incident osteoporosis.

    HDL particle sizes show contrasting links to dementia risk

    In 23,790 older adults, higher small HDL levels tracked lower dementia risk (hazard ratios 0.89 to 0.91), while very large HDL tracked higher risk (1.10 to 1.14).In 23,790 older adults, higher small HDL levels tracked lower dementia risk (hazard ratios 0.89 to 0.91), while very large HDL tracked higher risk (1.10 to 1.14).
