If you are pregnant and dreaming of healthy babies, it’s time to load up your plate with some salmon. Apparently, children born to mothers who had eaten salmon during their pregnancy are less likely to acquire asthma, as compared with children born to non-salmon-eating mothers. Professor Philip Calder from the University of Southamptonconducted a pregnancy

Access international data from HRS “family of studies”

Source: http://www.nia.nih.gov/research/blog/2015/06/access-international-data-hrs-family-studies

NIA is supporting a unique new website—the Gateway to Global Aging Data—that enables cross-national comparisons of the health, social, and economic status of older people. If you haven’t looked at what’s available, or you haven’t looked recently, I encourage you to check it out. Do you need to know if people in Estonia smoke more than people in Germany? What might be behind why people in Japan live longer than people in other developed countries? The Gateway makes it easy to create interactive graphs and tables to immediately examine population estimates of various countries over time. You can generate graphs and tables to compare the same measures between sub-populations within a country or quickly identify cross-country differences, as well as changes over time….
