Leisure exercise and physical labour show divergent links to dementia risk, study finds

An international team led by the University of Southern California analysed 74 studies covering more than 4.2 million people in 30 countries, followed for a median of 10 years. Leisure activity was linked to a 24 percent lower risk, while occupational activity was linked to a 20 percent higher risk.

Women with night-owl pattern eat more late-night snacks and have higher body fat - study

A study found that women who stay awake late, described as having a night-owl pattern, were linked to higher body fat and metabolic indicators. The research, published in Frontiers, analysed data from 287 New Zealand women of European and Pacific ethnicity aged 18 to 45. Evening-type participants consumed more late-night food and had higher BMI and fat measures. Blood markers such as glucose and triglycerides were also higher, though generalisation is limited.
