Alzheimer en recul
Les nouveaux cas d’Alzheimer en recul Le risque de développer la maladie d’Alzheimer et les autres démences a significativement baissé au cours des dernières décennies. Le niveau d’études apparaît comme un facteur déterminant./.../ Dans la mesure où l’évolution est rapide, sur quelques décennies, elle n’est probablement pas d’origine génétique, selon Philippe Amouyel. «Il faut donc rechercher le rôle de l’environnement: les facteurs de risques vasculaires classiques (hypertension, cholestérol…), mais aussi la dépression, l’inflammation, le niveau intellectuel.»
health in old age
What can we expect of health in old age?

Cholesterol risk
*The AMICOR MIRA reaction to the article of NYT was published:* Maria Azambuja Brazil 2 hours ago This should be very old news by now...The fact that it is not says a lot about the resistance we have to review our knowledge. In 1994 I first suggested that the rise and fall in CHD mortality seen worldwide during the 20th Century had something to do with Influenza, and that serum cholesterol was probably just a marker of infection/autoimmunity. My idea of an effect of the influenza recycling on the constitution of the human population has evolved during the last decades to dispute caus... mais »

New research shows that Neanderthals and modern humans may have interbred tens of thousands of years earlier than previously thought. [image: FRANCE-CULTURE-SCIENCES-NEANDE... mais »
Sneeze
By Robert Preidt Friday, February 12, 2016 [image: HealthDay news image] FRIDAY, Feb. 12, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- If you think your sneezes merely emit a delicate spray of tiny droplets into the space around you, think again. New research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology using slow-motion photography finds that, instead, sneezes expel a sticky sheet of fluid that first balloons and then breaks apart into long, viscous filaments. Those filaments eventually do separate into a mist of fine droplets, said a team led by Lydia Bourouiba, who runs MIT's Fluid Dynamics of Disea... mais »
Race and Dementia
By Robert Preidt Monday, February 15, 2016 MONDAY, Feb. 15, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Dementia rates can vary significantly among Americans of different racial and ethnic groups, even if they're in the same region of the country, a new study finds. Researchers analyzed data on more than 274,000 people from six racial and ethnic groups in Northern California who were members of Kaiser Permanente, a large private health care system. Using records of patient visits, the researchers found that the average annual rate of dementia was 26.6 cases per 1,000 for blacks; 22.2 per 1,000 for Ameri...mais »

‘senolytic’ drugs
Clearing out the clutter: ‘senolytic’ drugs improve vascular health in mice February 11, 2016 [image: coronary-artery ft] Reduced calcification of plaques on blood-vessel walls Mayo Clinic researchers have demonstrated the first study in which repeated treatments to remove senescent cells (cells that stop dividing due to age or stress) in mice improve age-related vascular conditions — and may possibly reduce cardiovascular disease and death. The researchers intermittently gave the mice a cocktail of two senolytic drugs (ones that selectively … more…
