Can a healthy lifestyle keep depression at bay?

A groundbreaking study reveals that maintaining a healthy lifestyle—including good sleep, social connection, and regular exercise—can significantly reduce the risk of depression, regardless of genetic predisposition. The research emphasizes that lifestyle choices may have a greater impact on depression risk than genetics, offering actionable avenues for prevention.

Unlocking the genetic code of blood sugar reveals new diabetes risks and lung complications

The study used a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to analyze random glucose levels in nearly half a million non-diabetic subjects, uncovering 150 distinct genetic signals, including 53 new ones, linked to glycemic traits and type 2 diabetes. The research also discovered a causal effect of random glucose and type 2 diabetes on lung function, identifying lung dysfunction as a new diabetes complication.
