If you never start your day without a cup of coffee, you may be interested to hear that a new study suggests that drinking this very popular drink may make you much less likely to die in the coming years.
The study, which was published online by Annals of Internal Medicine on May 31, 2022, analysed data about coffee consumption from more than 170,000 people (average age 56) in the United Kingdom who did not have cancer or cardiovascular disease at the beginning of the study. On average, researchers followed participants for seven years. In addition, they considered lifestyle, diet, gender, age, and ethnicity.
People who consumed 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with one teaspoon of added sugar per cup, were 30% less likely to die during the study period compared to those who did not consume coffee. It did not appear to matter whether the coffee contained caffeine or not, but the benefit diminished after 4.5 cups per day.
Changing to a geriatrician may be a smart decision for Elderly people.
In your 60s and 70s, you may spend your days pounding the tennis court, presiding over board meetings, or travelling the world with your grandchildren—activities that seem at odds with the notion that it may be time to switch to a geriatrician.
However, if you are as proactive about your health as you are in other areas of your life, a geriatrician may be the best option. These internists get extra training on how to care for people 65 and older. They look at the "big picture" of each patient to make sure that advice and treatments fit their changing bodies and social situations as they age.
Dr. Suzanne Salamon, clinical chief of gerontology at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, says that a geriatrician may be a better fit for your outlook than a general practitioner, who may see older people as fading away.
Many desire to age in place but fail to plan for it.
While the vast majority of people over the age of 50 desire to remain in their current residences for as long as possible, a recent survey indicates that few have prepared for this "ageing in place" ideal.
In April 2022, 2,277 adults aged 50 to 80 provided online and phone responses for the National Poll on Healthy Aging. It was discovered that 88% of respondents rated home ownership as "very" or "somewhat" important. But only 15% of those who answered had really thought about what changes they might need to make to their homes to be able to age in place, like putting grab bars in the bathroom or making the master bedroom on the first floor.
Dr. Suzanne Salamon, clinical chief of gerontology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, says, "People want to remain in their homes, where everything is familiar." Some people in their 80s have lived in their homes for 50 years, but the stairs in many of these two-or three-story homes are hazardous.
Dr. Salamon says that a geriatrician can help a patient find out what kinds of help are available to them at home and encourage the patient and their family to talk about how to set and reach goals for ageing in place.

Gas ranges affect the indoor and outdoor air quality, circulating pollutants that increase the risk of asthma and other illnesses.
In previous blog posts, I've discussed the negative health effects of outdoor air pollution and how to reduce your exposure in order to lower your health risks. More and more evidence suggests that we should also think about the quality of the air inside our homes, and studies show that gas stoves can be dangerous.
Understanding the issues and taking a few precautions can protect your household if you have a gas stove, as many people do. These measures can also help to improve outdoor air quality.
Childhood asthma is linked to the use of gas stoves.
Both nitrogen dioxide and PM2.5, which are tiny airborne particles, are lung irritants and are produced when gas stoves are used for cooking. There is a link between nitrogen dioxide and childhood asthma. It is estimated that nitrogen dioxide pollution will cause nearly 2 million new cases of asthma in children in 2019.
According to an analysis of observational research, children living in households with gas stoves are 42% more likely to suffer from asthma. Although observational studies cannot conclusively show that gas cooking is the direct cause of asthma, data also demonstrates that asthma symptoms in both children and adults are more severe the higher the nitrogen dioxide levels are.

As people get older, the advantages of taking more blood pressure medicine must be evaluated against the risks. Years later, the benefit of a decreased risk of experiencing a cardiac event, such as a stroke, heart attack, or heart failure, becomes apparent. On the other side, after increasing medicine dosages for a few weeks, there is a chance of experiencing dizziness, fainting, and falls due to too-low blood pressure.
Researchers compared usual care with more intensive blood pressure control in six previously published clinical trials involving more than 27,000 adults with high blood pressure, aged 60 and older, in order to better understand how long it takes for older people to experience the health benefits of aggressive blood pressure treatment.
The researchers discovered that a significant decrease in the risk of a major cardiovascular event did not occur until 34 months after beginning more severe blood pressure treatment, with a target of systolic blood pressure (the first number in a reading) of less than 140 mm Hg.
