Stanford Medicine researchers developed an algorithm analyzing blood proteins to determine the biological age of organs, revealing that a 'young brain' correlates with longer life and lower disease risk, especially for Alzheimer's. The study suggests potential for early intervention and personalized medicine to improve healthspan and lifespan.
New research from Washington University School of Medicine and the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care System reveals that people hospitalized with seasonal influenza can experience long-term health effects, particularly involving their lungs and airways. The study compared the long-term health outcomes of COVID-19 and the flu and found that both viruses can cause enduring health problems, with the risks increasing after the first 30 days of infection. The research highlights the need to reduce hospitalizations for both viruses and emphasizes the importance of vaccination to prevent severe disease and reduce the risk of hospitalization and death.
