Two-Decade Mediterranean Diet Linked to Lower Stroke Risk Across Types

A 21-year study of 105,614 California women found that higher adherence to a Mediterranean diet—rich in olive oil, nuts, seafood, whole grains and vegetables—was linked to lower risk of total stroke, including ischemic and hemorrhagic types, with up to a 25% reduction for hemorrhagic stroke; while not proving causation, experts say the findings support dietary approaches to stroke prevention, though limitations include self-reported diet and only female participants.

Childhood ADHD Traits Foreshadow Greater Health Struggles in Midlife

A large UK cohort study of about 10,930 people followed from childhood found that higher ADHD traits at age 10 are linked to more physical health problems and disability by midlife (age 46). Those with elevated ADHD traits had 14% higher odds of two or more conditions (including migraine, back pain, cancer, epilepsy, diabetes) and 42% reported two or more health problems versus 37% with lower trait scores; associations were partly explained by mental health issues, higher BMI, and smoking, with stronger effects in women. The findings emphasize the need for better ADHD recognition, ongoing health monitoring, and accessible support across adulthood.

Regular Coffee Consumption May Promote Healthy Aging and Longevity

A 30-year study of nearly 50,000 women found that moderate caffeinated coffee consumption in midlife is associated with healthier aging, including lower risks of chronic diseases and cognitive decline, while soda intake correlates with worse outcomes. The benefits are specific to caffeinated coffee and not tea or decaf, and moderation is recommended.
