Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented by tackling modifiable risk factors such as physical inactivity, smoking, low education or social isolation, but new Curtin University research suggests current public health approaches are falling short in driving real behavior ch

Traumatic memories of childhood maltreatment typically remain consistent over time, according to a major new study led by King's College London and published in Nature Mental Health. The paper focuses on traumatic memories of childhood maltreatment, which could include emotional,

Many people in the U.K. now use apps, smartwatches or wearable devices to track their physical activity. Fitness trackers promise to help users become fitter, happier and healthier versions of themselves. For many people, they can be useful: a nudge to move more, a way to notice

Fatigue can be a daily challenge for children with developmental disabilities, affecting participation in school, play and other activities. In a new study by Virginia Tech researchers from the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, parents reported that children who were m

People are living longer than they did at the turn of the 20th century, but living well into old age depends on more than a healthy lifestyle. Scientists say it is also shaped by how we think, adapt and connect with others.

According to a study that analyzed the behavior of 1,500 São Paulo residents between 2014 and 2024, the implementation of new bike lanes, parks and other public facilities in the Brazilian city has encouraged transportation-related physical activity and promoted public health ben

Cognitive function, hand dexterity and breathing ability play an important role in helping people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) use their inhalers correctly, according to a new study. The study is published in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society.

Large groups of people often lose sleep because of big events like a record 18-inning World Series game or a contested election night, or sudden crises like a flood, pandemic or war. In a new paper published in Clocks & Sleep, Harvard sleep researchers argue that while the mental

In an era where digital health applications are booming, older adults, particularly those facing the physical and psychological toll of post-acute rehabilitation, are frequently left out of the equation because of assumptions about low-tech literacy. However, a prospective pilot

Researchers from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Heidelberg University Hospital and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have published new findings that improve understanding of secondary neutron exposure during pediatric ion beam therapy, an important area of study

With the aid of physical forces—in this case, sound—it is possible to actively steer the formation of engineered tissue. For example, sound waves can be used to create functional vascular networks with blood vessel-like structures in vitro. Scientists at the Center for Molecular
