NCRAD offers genetic samples and data vital to Alzheimer’s research

Identifying the genes involved in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias is of course no easy task. From among the thousands of gene candidates in the human genome, we need to determine which are involved in onset and progression, and which increase risk or offer protection. Where can researchers find the biological specimens needed to unlock these mysteries? The NIA-funded National Cell Repository for Alzheimer’s Disease, or NCRAD, a veritable treasure trove of biological material located at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis….

new food label

The nutrition facts panel on the back of food packages — that box many of us check to see how many calories, fat, protein, and fiber are in the foods we eat — is getting a new look. WebMD has the details.

We are celebrating some diversity landmarks at the National Institutes of Health! Late last year, more than $31 million was awarded to academic institutions to develop and test strategies that address the racial diversity of the United States biomedical workforce. As we highlight these critical efforts, I want to use this space to discuss them in relation to health disparities research….

Mindfulness May Be the Secret to Staying Healthy

Source: http://brainblogger.com/2016/05/21/mindfulness-may-be-the-secret-to-staying-healthy/

Mindfulness is the act of paying attention – in an intentional and nonjudgmental way – to your own thoughts and feelings. Being more aware of your own self leads to reduced stress and increased positive emotions. But, it can also lead to better health. Not just emotional health and mental well-being, but physical health (measured by factors such as obesity and cardiovascular conditions).

A group of researchers at Brown University has been prospectively studying a birth cohort in the New England Family Study. The latest findings from this group, published in the International Journal of Behavioral Medicine, reveal that central obesity and adiposity are inversely related to mindfulness. That is, people who are not mindful are 34% more likely to be obese and are also more likely to have increased abdominal fat. Further, people who were not obese as children bu…
