Health Study

Studies have linked long-term exposure to particulate matter, particularly PM2.5, with changes in brain structure, accelerated brain ageing and a higher risk of dementia.

The study, published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), examined how the size of a person's thighs could act as a warning sign for heart disease and premature death.

What is Obesity: नई स्टडी के अनुसार, मोटापे से ग्रस्त हर व्यक्ति की सेहत खराब नहीं होती है. रिसर्च में सिर्फ BMI के बजाय शरीर में फैट, कमर का घेरा और अंगों की कार्यक्षमता के आधार पर मोटापे की पहचान करने की सलाह दी गई है.

The researchers analysed data from a cross-sectional, quota-based online survey of 4,003 Finnish adults aged 19 to 79, conducted in 2024. Participants reported whether they had any of 21 long-term conditions, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, migraine and back problems.

क्या दिवाली के पटाखे ही दिल्ली की जहरीली हवा की सबसे बड़ी वजह बने? IITM की ताजा रिपोर्ट में दावा किया गया है कि दिवाली के अगले दिन राजधानी के प्रदूषण में 80% तक योगदान पटाखों का था. वहीं एक्सपर्ट्स चेतावनी दे रहे हैं कि खराब AQI केवल फेफड़ों ही नहीं, बल्कि दिल के मरीजों के लिए भी बड़ा खतरा बन सकता है.

The WHO recommends an annual average concentration of no more than 5 micrograms per cubic metre for PM2.5 and 10 micrograms per cubic metre for nitrogen dioxide.

Participants in the yoga program showed significant improvements in overall health status and quality-adjusted utility scores at the three-month mark compared to those receiving standard care.

Researchers led by those at New York University, US, assessed more than 150 men and women with prediabetes who did not have any known buildup of cholesterol in their arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis. Prediabetes raises the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

A new study finds an association between air pollution exposure early in life and lung function in children and adolescents. Even small shifts can have major implications for public health, says the researcher.

Researchers analyzed 10 diets and DNA methylation markers, revealing different diets impact similar biological pathways related to ageing.

Researchers compared people exposed to more than three lux of nighttime light with those exposed to almost no light. Those with higher exposure were more likely to have thickening of the wall of the left ventricle which is the heart's main pumping chamber.

Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke -- collectively referred to as cardiometabolic diseases -- are linked to an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. The researchers investigated whether healthy sleep can mitigate these associations.

Dr Guleria said there is growing evidence, from India and abroad, that living for long in polluted air raises the risk of lung cancer. He said poor air exposes the lungs to mutations, and both lab studies and clinical data suggest the risk rises among non-smokers as well.

South Asians can have lower muscle mass, higher insulin resistance, more visceral and liver fat, and reduced insulin-production capacity.

As Delhi-NCR enters another season of toxic air, doctors warn that spikes in pollution can trigger heart attacks and strokes. Fine particulate matter can enter the bloodstream, trigger inflammation, damage blood vessels and increase the risk of blood clots.
