Have Scientists Found Alzheimer’s “Big Bang”? | @Ben Ryan | @Dr J Partyka @ Pharmative.com
Researchers belief they have pinpointed the genesis of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain: the way that proteins known as tau become irregular, clump together, and then lead to a mass accumulation of tangled masses.

Is There Really an "Obesity Paradox", With Fat Linked to Longer Life? | By Benjamin Ryan | Virtually Modern Medicine
A controversy has been brewing among research scientists of late as to whether there is in fact a so-called “obesity paradox.” Recent studies have found those who are overweight apparently have a similar lifespanor in fact live longer than those with a normal body mass index (BMI).
Seeking to address this controversy, a team of investigators from Northwestern University and the University of Texas amassed a remarkablyenormous pool of data on individuals’ BMI and their ultimate longevity and cardiovascular health, ...

Older Men May Live Longer By Engaging Even In Light Physical Activity | By Benjamin Ryan
Men in their later years who accumulate 150 minutes of physical activity per week, even if it’s light in intensity and lasts for periods shorter than 10 minutes, have a lower risk of death than those who are more sedentary. This finding from a recent study of British older men stands in contrast to current recommendations those older men should sustain physical activity for longer individual periods to reap a health benefit.
This means that routine activities as gentle as gardening or walking the dog, which may be more suitable for men in their late ...
