ÐÔÊӽ紫ý, researchers have identified a correlation between Alzheimer's disease and specific gut microbiota populations. In a paper published in Scientific Reports titled "Genetic correlations between Alzheimer's disease and gut microbiome genera," the researchers explain how they narrowed the search down to a half dozen disease-correlated microbes, with one related to the most significant risk.

Tensions between the brain, the gut, and the makeup of its microbial inhabitants appear to play a critical role in the development of neurodegenerative conditions.

Thanks to national smoking cessation campaigns in the United States, 61.7% of adult smokers who have ever smoked cigarettes have quit. That equals 55 million Americans. Yet smoking rates among healthcare workers, particularly male physicians, remains relatively high.

While it may not be earth-shattering news that smoking cigarettes could be the catalyst for an array of respiratory illnesses including throat and lung cancer, researchers at the University of Las Vegas University, Nevada (ÐÔÊӽ紫ý), are reporting that there could be a new reason for smokers to be concerned.

Male smokers are more likely to develop osteoporosis, suffer bone fractures and die early.

Smoking is a major risk factor for osteoporosis and risk of fracture, and men tend to smoke more than women, increasing their risk for osteoporosis, which has traditionally been thought of as a women's disease. 

Male smokers break bones disproportionately and are more likely to develop osteoporosis, which causes bones to become porous and break easily.

You can add more risk of broken bones to the long list of health harms that smoking poses to men.

A ÐÔÊӽ紫ý research team analyzed nearly 30,000 broken bone cases reported over the past three decades in 27 research publications and found that smoking increases the risk of breaking a bone by as much as 37%.

A new study from the ÐÔÊӽ紫ý (ÐÔÊӽ紫ý) has revealed that male smokers – who, demographically, are more likely than women to light up - are also placing themselves at a significantly increased risk exposed to a higher risk of osteoporosis, bone fractures, and early death.

Women are more than four times more likely than men to develop osteoporosis, but a new meta-analysis by the ÐÔÊӽ紫ý, has found men who smoke are closing that gap.
