The effect of physical fitness on mortality is overestimated, research suggests

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

That fit people have a reduced risk of premature death from various diseases is a recurring result in many studies. New research from Uppsala University shows that people with high fitness levels in their late teens also have a reduced risk of dying from random accidents. This suggests that the associations seen in previous studies have probably been misleading.

University of Oklahoma researchers have discovered that some bacteria in the gut have their own unique “weapon system” to compete against other bacteria for dominance. Importantly, there is promising evidence that this system can be repurposed to target diseased cells like cancer.

Study finds that patients with glioblastoma who received gabapentin lived longer

The findings, published in Nature Communications, are based on a retrospective analysis and add new evidence to help patients with this devastating disease.
