Increased coffee consumption may reduce risk of type 2 diabetes
Coffee has been linked to various health benefits, including reduced risk of womb cancer and liver cancer. Now, research suggests coffee may lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
Calcium scoring can be an effective tool for assessing heart disease risks in adults with no known risk factors
With growing evidence that a measurement of the buildup of calcium in coronary arteries can predict heart disease risk, Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute (LA BioMed) researchers found that…
NAFLD is likely an independent cardiovascular risk factor
Two new studies presented at the International Liver CongressTM 2014 have provided more evidence to clarify the role of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as an independent risk factor for the…
Lifestyle interventions such as weight loss and exercise reduce risk of death from cardiovascular diseases in people at risk of diabetes
Many research studies have shown that lifestyle interventions, such as exercise programmes or weight loss, in people with impaired glucose tolerance (those at high risk of diabetes) can prevent progression to overt type 2 diabetes.
Strong association between Mediterranean diet and lower risk of diabetes
Adoption of a Mediterranean diet is linked to a lower risk of diabetes, especially among people at high risk for cardiovascular disease, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 63rd Annual Scientific Session.
Higher BMI raises risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure
