The health of American children has declined sharply over the past 17 years, with troubling disparities in mortality and chronic conditions compared to other wealthy nations. A new study found that U.S. children under 20 are nearly twice as likely to die as their peers in 18 other high-income countries.Infants in the U.S. had 2.22 times the rate of death from prematurity and 2.39 times the rate of sudden unexpected infant death. Among older children and teens, firearm-related deaths were 15.34 times higher than in peer nations, and motor vehicle fatalities were 2.45 times higher.From 2011 to 2023, the prevalence…

A new study from the University of Georgia reveals that poor heart health in midlife may significantly increase the risk of dementia for Black Americans. Researchers found that individuals diagnosed with both diabetes and hypertension had elevated levels of a dementia-related biomarker more than a decade later. “This matters,” said Rachael Weaver, the study’s lead author. “Chronic conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes, especially when combined together, might start damaging the brain earlier than we thought, especially for this group.” The study followed over 250 participants and found that having both conditions—not just one—led to a greater increase in…
