Heart disease is on track to tighten its grip on American women. New projections from the American Heart Association warn that over the next 25 years, cardiovascular disease will rise sharply, driven largely by a surge in high blood pressure, ...

A massive study of more than 270,000 people has uncovered a surprising link between a common amino acid and how long men live. Researchers found that higher levels of tyrosine--an amino acid found in protein-rich foods and often marketed as a focus . ...

Worrying about getting older--especially fearing future health problems--may actually speed up aging at the cellular level, according to new research from NYU. In a study of more than 700 women, those who felt more anxious about aging showed signs of ...

Popular acid reflux drugs such as Prilosec, Nexium, and Protonix may carry hidden risks when taken long term. A new study found that extended use disrupted iron and calcium levels in rats, changes associated with anemia and osteoporosis risk. ...

"Forever chemicals" known as PFAS have quietly infiltrated everything from nonstick pans to food packaging--and now new research suggests some of them may be speeding up the aging process itself. In a nationally representative U.S. study, two lesser ...

Avoiding meat might slightly lower the odds of reaching 100 -- but only for frail, underweight seniors. In very old age, staying strong and maintaining muscle matters more than long-term disease prevention. Older adults who included fish, eggs, or .. ...

A shingles shot might do more than prevent a painful rash -- it could actually help slow down the aging process. In a large national study of more than 3,800 Americans age 70 and older, those who received the shingles vaccine showed slower biological ...

A sweeping new analysis of the evidence suggests that exercise therapy -- long promoted as a first-line treatment for osteoarthritis -- may offer only small and short-lived relief, and in some cases might be no better than doing nothing at all. After ...
