    Carbon dioxide and heatwaves linked to diabetes in China

    Higher carbon dioxide concentrations and more frequent heatwaves were linked to diabetes, with odds ratios—comparisons of diabetes odds—of 1.14 and 1.48, respectively.Higher carbon dioxide concentrations and more frequent heatwaves were linked to diabetes, with odds ratios—comparisons of diabetes odds—of 1.14 and 1.48, respectively.

    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.

    Childhood adversity is linked to frailty in later life

    In a study of 10,643 adults aged 50 and older, each adverse childhood experience was linked to a 3% to 12% higher risk across four frailty patterns.In a study of 10,643 adults aged 50 and older, each adverse childhood experience was linked to a 3% to 12% higher risk across four frailty patterns.

    Higher blood pressure is linked to larger brain structures

    In an analysis of 1,012 participants, higher blood pressure was linked to larger deep brain volumes compared with blood pressure below 120/80 millimetres of mercury.In an analysis of 1,012 participants, higher blood pressure was linked to larger deep brain volumes compared with blood pressure below 120/80 millimetres of mercury.
