| Nutrition supplements add weight, not longevity for many seniors Posted: 14 Aug 2015 04:32 PM PDT Nutritional supplements can help those who are malnourished or frail to function better and live longer, a research review finds. Malnutrition in the elderly is a significant problem, affecting up to 15 percent of those in long-term care facilities. |
| More evidence supports that kids' headaches increase at back-to-school time Posted: 14 Aug 2015 04:31 PM PDT Headaches increase in fall in children, a trend that may be due to back-to-school changes in stress, routines and sleep, a study shows. Although it may be difficult for parents to decipher a real headache from a child just wanting to hold onto summer a little longer and avoid going back to school, there is a variety of other common triggers including poor hydration and prolonged screen time that could contribute to a child's discomfort. |
| African-Americans most likely to stop taking meds in Medicare Part D's coverage gap Posted: 14 Aug 2015 04:31 PM PDT Medicare Part D provides help to beneficiaries struggling with the cost of prescriptions drugs, but the plan's coverage gap hits some populations harder than others, particularly African-Americans age 65 and older. Reaching, or even approaching, the gap affects access to medication and influences whether those medications are taken as prescribed. |

Hostile couples had significantly higher amounts of the appetite-triggering hormone after arguments if they were at a healthy weight or in the overweight category, while those who were obese – with BMI 30 or higher – showed no significant difference, researchers report. |
