Insidermedicine in 60 – July 22, 2009
From Pittsburgh – According to research presented to the Society for the Study of Reproduction, a mother’s health around the time of conception may influence a child’s disease risk. In a review of animal studies, researchers found that factors such as a high-fat diet and vitamin B and folate deficiencies could result in conditions such as insulin resistance, obesity and cardiovascular disease among offspring. From the Netherlands – According to research in the Annals of Internal Medicine, online self-management may help improve asthma symptoms. In a study of 200 patients, researchers found that asthma control, lung function and symptom-free days improved among those who participated in a self-management program. However, the program did not reduce the number of asthma attacks that occurred. And finally, from Boston – According to research in the Journal of the American Medical Association, a healthy lifestyle can protect men from heart disease. In a study of nearly 21000 men, researchers found that those who adhered to at least 4 healthy lifestyle factors such as normal weight, not smoking, regular exercise, moderate alcohol intake and consumption of breakfast cereals and fruits and vegetables, had a lower risk of heart failure than those who did not.
