High tyrosine linked to shorter lifespans in men, large study suggests

A UK Biobank study of more than 270,000 participants found higher blood tyrosine levels linked to shorter life expectancy in men—potentially shaving nearly a year off lifespan—with no clear effect in women. After adjusting for related amino acids and factors, phenylalanine showed no association. Possible explanations include insulin resistance and sex-specific hormone pathways; the study does not test tyrosine supplements directly, but results suggest dietary protein or tyrosine levels could influence aging, warranting further research.

Lower eyelid surgery helps a Raleigh grandfather look fresher and feel more confident

A 56-year-old Raleigh businessman, John Fleming, underwent lower blepharoplasty to remove excess fat and skin under the eyes, addressing bags that made him look tired. The procedure, done under general anesthesia and costing about $5,000, took about an hour. About two months post-op, he reports looking fresher and more energetic and feels more confident, with plans to switch from glasses to contact lenses; he notes the change is subtle and not looking “fixed.”

Men’s Heart Disease Risk Surges in the Mid-30s, Triggering Call for Earlier Screening

A long-term CARDIA study shows men reach a 5% cardiovascular disease risk around age 50.5—about seven years earlier than women (57.5)—driven largely by coronary heart disease; traditional risk factors explain only part of the gap, suggesting other biological or social factors. The findings imply heart screening and prevention may need to start earlier in adulthood, especially for men.

Men’s mid-30s risk rise prompts call for earlier heart-health checks

A long-running CARDIA study tracking more than 5,100 adults from young adulthood to 2020 finds men’s cardiovascular disease risk begins to diverge from women around age 35, with coronary heart disease developing earlier in men and the gap persisting despite similar traditional risk factors. The study suggests starting prevention and screening earlier in adulthood, potentially using tools like the AHA PREVENT equations that begin at age 30, while noting preventive care uptake remains lower for men aged 18–44.

8 Silent Sacrifices Men Make Daily, According to Psychology

The article highlights eight often unnoticed sacrifices men make daily, such as suppressing emotions, carrying the mental load, staying in unfulfilling jobs, accepting minimized struggles, being the calm in crises, downplaying health issues, accepting loneliness, and postponing personal dreams, all driven by societal expectations of masculinity, which often leads to emotional and physical tolls that remain invisible and unacknowledged.

Study Reveals Reasons Behind Women's Longer Lifespan Than Men

Women tend to live longer than men due to genetic, behavioral, and biological factors. Men engage in riskier behaviors like smoking and neglect preventive health measures, which contribute to higher mortality rates. The study suggests that adopting some habits typical of women, such as regular doctor visits and healthier lifestyles, could help men narrow the longevity gap.
