    Long COVID and the Challenges of Exercise: A Comprehensive Analysis

    Broke On: Monday, 15 January 2024 A new study in Nature Communications reveals that long COVID patients may struggle with exercise due to cellular changes caused by the virus. The research found that CD4 T cells were in a more inflammatory state, suggesting viral persistence. Another study published in Nature Immunology discovered immune dysregulation and uncoordinated adaptive immune response as factors contributing to long COVID symptoms. A third study published in ERJ Open Research highlights the impact of COVID on oxygen delivery to the body's tissues, which may lead to limitations in lung and heart function during activity.

  • US Life Expectancy Declines, Women Outlive Men by Six Years

    Broke On: Friday, 17 November 2023 The life expectancy at birth in the U.S. dropped for the second year in a row, from 78.8 years in 2019 to 76.1 years in 2021. Women in the U.S. now live on average six years longer than men. Factors contributing to this gap include lower cardiovascular disease and lung cancer death rates in women, differences in smoking behaviors, and a higher mortality rate from COVID-19 in men. Men's likelihood to skip routine health checkups, their predominance in dangerous jobs, and higher rates of heart disease also contribute to the life expectancy gap. Improved medical care for women, such as reductions in cancer and perinatal conditions, also contribute to the life expectancy gap.
