Mediterranean Diet Linked to Reduced Risk of Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity
Recent research published in The Journal of Nutrition highlights the Mediterranean diet’s crucial role in reducing the risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM). This study, part of the EPIC-Norfolk cohort, reveals that adherence to the Mediterranean diet significantly lowers the likelihood of developing multiple cardiometabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. With its emphasis on olive oil, fish, whole grains, and fresh produce, the Mediterranean diet not only helps prevent initial disease onset but also mitigates the progression to CMM, especially in non-manual workers. As the prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases rises, promoting this diet could be key to improving health outcomes.
Facial Temperatures as Key Indicator of Health Conditions Revealed in New Study
Facial temperatures can indicate underlying health conditions, with variations linked to chronic illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure. A study in Cell Metabolism shows AI-derived spatial temperature patterns can detect these differences. Researchers aim to use thermal imaging for early disease detection and intervention, promoting healthy aging and disease prevention.
Breakthrough in Understanding Metabolic Health Using BXD Mouse Population
Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have developed a metabolic health score (MHS) using a genetically diverse mouse population, BXD, to study metabolic syndrome (MetS). By analyzing key health indicators and identifying genetic regions associated with metabolic health, this study offers valuable insights for understanding the genetic basis of metabolic conditions in humans.
