Low Cholesterol Linked To Increased Mortality In Elderly People (p 350)
Low cholesterol, a key health objective for reducing cardiovascular disease, could be associated with higher death-rates among elderly people, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. High blood cholesterol concentration is directly related to mortality for people under 65 years of age. However, previous clinical trials have... view more... (2001-08-01)
Overweight and obesity cause 6,000 cancers a year in UK women
The study shows that overweight and obese women in the UK are at a higher risk of developing and dying from cancer. In fact, the researchers estimate that 5% of all cancers (about 6,000 annually) are attributable to being overweight or obese. view more (2007-11-07)
New study links radiotherapy and CVD risks in breast cancer patients
Hamburg, Germany: A large Dutch study of breast cancer patients has confirmed that radiotherapy does increase the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, but it has also provided some reassuring findings that improved techniques mean the risk is less than it used to be. Dr Maartje Hooning, a medical doctor and clinical epidemiologist from the... view more... (2004-03-16)
Gene variants linked with increased risk of death among heart patients treated with beta-blockers
