Daily meal timing influences longevity risk in adults, study reveals

Researchers analysing Aging Cell data from over 33,000 US adults found a U-shaped link between daily eating window length and mortality. Eating for 11–12 hours per day was tied to the lowest risk, while very short (<8h) or long (≥15h) windows raised death risk, especially in older and White participants.

Study reveals how centenarians preserve youthful immune defenses

Researchers mapped immune cells from centenarians, their offspring, and younger controls across three cohorts using multi-omics single-cell profiling. They found that centenarians retain leaner helper pools but have enhanced cytotoxic and NK cell programs, along with reinforced NK–T communication networks.

Genetic study shows dual GIPR/GLP1R action curbs binge alcohol use

Researchers used drug-target Mendelian randomization to test whether genetically proxied activation of GLP1R and GIPR influences alcohol-related behaviors. They found that GIPR, especially when combined with GLP1R, was linked to lower binge and heavy drinking, healthier food preferences, improved liver markers, and reduced coronary artery disease risk.

Researchers reveal why global gains against chronic diseases are stalling

Researchers analysed mortality data from 185 countries and found that while global non-communicable disease (NCD) deaths before age 80 declined from 2010 to 2019, progress slowed compared to 2001–2010. Gains were mainly from drops in heart disease and stroke, but rising burdens from diabetes, cancers, and neuropsychiatric conditions stalled momentum.

Faster and cheaper MRI proves effective in detecting prostate cancer

A quicker, cheaper MRI scan was just as accurate at diagnosing prostate cancer as the current 30-40 minute scan and should be rolled out to make MRI scans more accessible to men who need one, according to clinical trial results led by UCL, UCLH and the University of Birmingham.

Food insecurity raises long COVID risk while SNAP support cuts it

Food insecurity was linked to 73% higher odds of current Long COVID and 30% lower odds of recovery among US adults with prior infection, based on National Health Interview Survey data. Participation in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) mitigated this association, highlighting food assistance as a potential public health intervention.

Fast food’s grip on American diets weakens as younger adults cut back

About one-third of U.S. adults consumed fast food on a given day between 2021 and 2023, with an average of 11.7% of daily calories coming from it. Intake has declined from 14.1% in 2013–14, driven mainly by reduced consumption among younger adults.

RAB26 identified as a critical regulator of prostate cancer aggressiveness

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignant tumors in men worldwide. While early detection has improved patient outcomes, effective therapies for advanced disease remain limited.

Daylight saving time does not increase heart attack risk, study shows

A large U.S. registry study of more than 168,000 patients found that daylight saving time (DST) clock changes did not increase heart attack rates or worsen in-hospital outcomes. The findings suggest that the lost or gained hour is unlikely to trigger acute myocardial infarction in contemporary care.
