Problem gamblers have poorer health People who can't control their gambling may have higher odds of physical health problems as well, a new study shows. Researchers found that among more than 43,000 Americans in a national survey, problem gamblers had elevated rates of liver disease, high blood pressure, high heart rate and angina -- chest pain caused by blockages in the heart arteries.
Frequent Weight Change Raises Men's Gallstone Risk "Weight cycling" may increase men's risk for gallstones, a University of Kentucky Medical Center study finds. Compared to weight maintainers, light cyclers had a 21 percent increased risk of gallstones, moderate cyclers had a 38 percent increased risk, and severe cyclers had a 76 percent increased risk.
Testosterone levels declined over time A new study shows a drop in average blood levels of testosterone in middle-aged men over the last 20 years. Blood levels of testosterone were first checked in the late 1980s. The second testing was in the mid-1990s. The third testing was in 2002-2004. All of the men were 45 to 79 years old when they took the testosterone test. The key finding: Testosterone levels declined over time beyond what would be expected with age.
