Self-measured blood pressure control programs help improve hypertension care

Self-measured blood pressure control programs led by community health centers helped at-risk populations, such as those in rural communities or in racial and ethnic groups disproportionately affected by hypertension, achieve a 12.3% increase in their blood pressure control rates from 2020 to 2022, according to early demonstration project findings to be presented at the American Heart Association's Hypertension Scientific Sessions 2023, held Sept. 7-10, 2023, in Boston.

Can brown fat really keep you slim? New study digs into the science of diet-induced thermogenesis

The research paper delves into the role of brown adipose tissue and its protein, UCP1, in diet-induced thermogenesis, questioning whether it could be a key to fighting obesity. Despite some evidence suggesting that brown fat activity could influence weight, the study calls for more research to determine the causality between reduced brown adipose tissue activity and obesity.

Could your gut microbiome shape your teenage years? New study dives into the lifelong health impact

Research explores how the gut microbiota impacts critical areas of adolescent development, including mental health, metabolism, and skeletal growth. It suggests that understanding these interactions could lead to microbiome-based treatments for optimal growth and maturation.

Cracking the obesity code: The protein leverage hypothesis

The research paper presents an integrative approach to understanding obesity, focusing on the protein leverage hypothesis (PLH) to examine how protein intake affects energy imbalance. It combines insights from nutritional ecology, ecological sciences, and nutritional geometry, suggesting that protein deficiency and amino acid imbalances could drive increased food intake and contribute to obesity.
