Health Alert: Fine Particulate Air Pollution Linked to Gestational Diabetes. Fine particulate matter is a mixture
of dust, dirt, soot, smoke, and liquid droplets in the air, most commonly from gasoline combustion and the burning
of wood and coal. A recent study found that increased exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution during the
second trimester of pregnancy is associated with higher blood glucose levels and a greater risk for gestational
diabetes. Environmental Research, November 2022
Diet: Ultra-Processed Food Linked to Colorectal Cancer in Men. According to an analysis of data on over
200,000 adults, a high intake of pre-cooked and instant meals—particularly processed meat products—is associated
with an elevated risk for colorectal cancer in men, but not women. BMJ, August 2022
Exercise: Urban COPD Patients May Be at Fitness Disadvantage. A study that included 404 patients with mildto-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) identified an association between living in a more densely
populated areas and fewer steps taken per day, more time spent engaged in sedentary activities, and less exercise
capacity—all of which may lead to worse outcomes for COPD patients. Environmental Research, November 2022
Chiropractic: Posterior Shoulder Instability Management. Posterior shoulder instability is a shoulder injury
that’s more common among young men who engaged in high-contact sports. A comprehensive review concluded
that in most cases, patients with posterior shoulder instability should utilize non-surgical care options for at least six
months before considering a surgical procedure. The review notes that care should concentrate on proprioceptive and
strengthening exercises of the subscapularis muscle and other dynamic stabilizers of the shoulder, as well as
managing any co-occurring shoulder conditions, such as scapular dyskinesis. Doctors of chiropractic are trained in
the diagnosis and management of several musculoskeletal conditions, including posterior shoulder instability.

Mental Attitude: Blood Type May Influence Stroke Risk. Following a review of health histories of nearly 17,000
people, researchers report that individuals with type A blood are 16% more likely suffer a stroke before age 60 than
those with other blood types. On the other hand, the risk is lowest for those with type O blood. The researchers
explain that type O blood contains fewer proteins that are known to contribute to clot formation, which is necessary
for a stroke to occur. Neurology, August 2022
Wellness/Prevention: Safe, Healthy Habits for Kids. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that

Health Alert: Button Batteries Are an Increasing Hazard to Kids. Researchers report that two times more
children made a trip to the emergency room after accidentally eating a button battery between 2010 and 2019 than
during the preceding two decades. When swallowed, button batteries generate an electric current, which can trigger a
harmful reaction that can cause serious injury, even death. Pediatrics, August 2022
Diet: Breastfeeding Offers Heart Protection for Mom. The American Heart Association reports that women who
breastfeed at least one child have a 15% lower risk of heart disease and a 12% reduced risk for stroke later in life
than women who do not breastfeed. American Heart Association, August 2022
Exercise: Exercise and Heart Failure Risk. An analysis of health records on more than 94,000 adults revealed that
engaging in more than 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity (or 75 minutes of high-intensity physical
activity) a week can reduce the risk for heart failure by more than 60%. Study author Dr. Frederick explains, “There
are many potential ways that regular physical activity may reduce the risk of developing heart failure… For example,
physical activity helps prevent weight gain and related cardiometabolic conditions, such as high blood pressure and
Type 2 diabetes, all of which are risk factors for heart failure. Regular physical exercise may also strengthen the
heart muscle, which, in turn, may prevent heart failure from developing.” Circulation, August 2022
Chiropractic: Ankle Proprioception and Chronic Low Back Pain in the Elderly. Proprioception is the body’s
ability to sense where its various parts are in relation to one another for purposes of movement and balance.
Examinations of older adults with and without chronic low back pain revealed that those with chronic low back pain
were more likely to have impaired ankle proprioception. The findings suggest a possible link between abnormal
motion of the ankle and pain in the lower back. This highlights the importance of examining the whole patient—
something doctors of chiropractic are trained to do—to address all potential contributing causes for the patient’s
chief complaint. Neuroscience Letters, August 2022
Mental Attitude: Family History of Mental Illness Increases Risk for Postpartum Depression. Following a

Health Alert: Legalization of Pot Linked to Increase in Car Crash Injuries and Deaths. According to a recent
study, states that have legalized recreational marijuana have seen an increase in the rates for car crashes with injuries
(6%) and fatal crashes (4%) that has not been observed in states that did not legalize the drug. Lead researcher Dr.
Charles Farmer adds, “It’s becoming more and more clear that the legalization of marijuana doesn’t come without
cost. But marijuana legalization is still a novelty, and there’s hope that these early trends can be turned around.”

Chiropractic: Early Chiropractic Care Reduces Opioid Use for Patients with Low Back Pain. A review of
insurance claims for around 41,000 adults with back pain revealed that those who sought chiropractic care initially
were 12% less likely to receive a subsequent opioid prescription and 46% less likely to use opioids in the long term.
Because only 6% of the patients in this study sought chiropractic care first, the findings suggest that encouraging
patients to consult with a chiropractor for new-onset back pain could significantly reduce long-term opioid use and
misuse. Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, June 2022
Mental Attitude: Childhood Loneliness May Lead to Drinking Problems in Adulthood. Interviews with more

Diet: Inflammatory Diet Linked to Frailty. Frailty is a condition characterized by weakness, slowness, physical
inactivity, self-reported exhaustion, and unintentional weight loss that is associated with an increased risk for poor
health outcomes. Using data from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring study, researchers have observed an
association between a pro-inflammatory diet—an eating pattern characterized by a high intake of sugar,
polysaturated vegetable oils, trans fats, dairy products, feed lot-raised meat, red meat, processed meat, alcohol,
refined grains, and artificial food additives—and an elevated risk for frailty.

Chiropractic: Manual Therapies and Tinnitus. Following a study that showed that manual therapies are an
effective intervention for patients with suspected cervicogenic somatosensory tinnitus, researchers conclude that in
the absence of ENT (ear, nose, and throat) pathologies, patients seeking care for ringing in the ears should be
examined for musculoskeletal dysfunction in the head and neck. Doctors of chiropractic commonly use manual
therapies to manage patients with musculoskeletal disorders. HNO, August 2022

Health Alert: The Cost of Forever Chemicals… Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are
chemicals used to imbue heat-, oil-, stain-, grease-, and water-resistant properties to products such as food
containers, clothes, and furniture and have been linked to several poor health outcomes. Because these chemicals
linger in the body, they’re known as forever chemicals. According to a recent study, these chemicals may cost the
United States health care system an estimated $63 billion dollars a year in medical costs and productivity losses due
to the top conditions linked to PFAS exposure, including hypothyroidism and childhood obesity. Senior author Dr.
Leonardo Trasande writes, “Our results strongly support the recent decision by the Environmental Protection
Agency to lower the safe allowable level of these substances in water… Based on our estimates, the cost of
eradicating contamination and replacing this class of chemical with safer alternatives is ultimately justified when
considering the tremendous economic and medical risks of allowing them to persist in the environment.”

Health Alert: Death Rate from Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis Has Quadrupled in the Last 20 years. According
to a recent study, deaths from alcoholic cirrhosis in the United States increased 400% between 1999 and 2019,
from 4,000 to 24,000 per year. Lead researcher Dr. Charles Hennekens notes, “My hypothesis is that the reason
we’re seeing more of liver disease earlier is not just that people are drinking more, but that they’re eating more
and exercising less, so the damage to the liver is accelerating.” American Journal of Medicine, June 2022
