Key Points
- A major new study has linked the consumption of ultra-processed foods, especially those with certain additives, to a higher risk of all-cause mortality over an eleven-year follow-up period.
- Knee pain is increasingly affecting younger individuals, driven by high-intensity sports participation and rising obesity rates, leading to a significant increase in knee replacements among those aged 45 to 64.
- Monitoring and managing childhood blood pressure is crucial, as elevated levels at age seven have been associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease mortality later in life.
