Genetic contribution to onset of puberty A large national study compared the age at menarche in the 1960s to the period from 1999 to 2002. Overall, an earlier age of pubertal onset of 4.9 months was documented. Some intriguing research is indicating such advancement may be partially due to ex...
“Hip fracture can often lead to other chronic illnesses, loss of independence, and premature death,” noted Webster, who is a doctoral researcher in the School of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Leeds. “This study is one of the first to investigate relationships between food...
In a study of 118 people with both sarcopenia and vitamin D deficiency, a nutritional supplement of 10,000 IU given 3 times a week vs. the nutritional supplement alone led to an improvement in muscle mass but not grip strength after 6 months [30]. It is also possible that obesity may ...
