Health Alert: Accelerated Aging Raises Risk for Some Cancers. Using data from the UK Biobank study,
researchers found that accelerated aging—the presence of biomarkers in the blood more akin to an individual of
an older age—is associated with an elevated risk for several early-onset cancers, including the lungs (42%),
gastrointestinal system (22%), and uterus (36%). While genetics play a role in the aging process, an unhealthy
lifestyle can lead to accelerated aging. Some factors include poor diet, physical inactivity, excessive sun
exposure, stress, smoking, excessive alcohol intake, poor sleep, and exposure to environmental pollutants.

Health Alert: Cardiac Comorbidities Can Worsen Knee Replacement Outcomes. Among a sample of more
than 380,000 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA), researchers observed that those with preexisting
cardiac comorbidities (such as congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, valvular dysfunction,
and arrhythmia) have an elevated risk for adverse outcomes including a longer hospital stay, heart attack, acute
kidney injury, transfusion, thromboembolic events, and infection. The authors conclude, “As our use of TKA
rises, a lower threshold for preoperative cardiology referral in older individuals and early preoperative
counseling/intervention in those with known cardiac disease may be necessary to reduce adverse outcomes.”

Health Alert: Gene Discovery May Offer New Avenue to Combat Alzheimer’s. In a recent study that
included individuals at elevated risk for Alzheimer’s disease, researchers observed that those who did not
develop the neurodegenerative condition carried a gene variant that helps the brain more efficiently remove the
beta amyloid plaques from the brain that are a hallmark of the disease. If scientists are able to develop a therapy
that mimics the gene’s effect in the brain, it’s hoped that Alzheimer’s cases may be reduced by up to 70%.
Columbia University, April 2024
Diet: Intermittent Fasting Benefits Intestinal Health. Intermittent fasting is a dietary strategy that alternates

education interventions help teens make healthier food choices, but they may also experience an improved selfimage. Frontiers in Nutrition, March 2024
Exercise: Physical Activity Reduces Atrial Fibrillation Risk in Type 2 Diabetics. Past research has shown that
type 2 diabetics are at elevated risk for developing atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder that can lead to stroke,
heart failure, and other cardiovascular complications. In a recent study, researchers observed that diabetics who
engaged in at least 214 minutes a week of moderate-intensity physical activity a week had a lower incidence of atrial
fibrillation than less active diabetes patients. Cardiovascular Diabetology, March 2024
Chiropractic: Chiropractic Care for Trigeminal Neuralgia. This case study involved a 55-year-old female with
trigeminal neuralgia that failed to respond to conventional treatment. A chiropractic examination revealed joint
dysfunction at several levels of the cervical and thoracic spine, as well as trigger points in the trapezius and levator
scapulae muscles. The patient underwent a multimodal treatment plan that included spinal manipulative therapy,
mechanical cervical traction, and focused radial shockwave therapy that led to a significant reduction in her
symptoms that maintained at a six-month follow-up appointment. The authors conclude, “The lasting nature of the
pain reduction provides a compelling argument for the long-term benefits of chiropractic intervention in the
management of [trigeminal neuralgia].” Cureus, February 2024

Chiropractic: Conservative Treatment for Tennis Elbow. For patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy, a
systematic review that included twelve studies found that a conservative treatment plan that includes manual therapy,
electrotherapy, and exercise may provide greater long-term benefits and a lower risk of recurrence than
corticosteroid injections. Doctors of chiropractic often manage patients with tennis elbow using such a multimodal
approach. Shoulder Elbow, March 2024
Mental Attitude: Establish a Cognitive Baseline. Experts from Northwestern Medicine recommend individuals
begin undergoing cognitive assessments at midlife to both establish a baseline and to measure their thinking and
memory skills over time. Neuropsychologist Dr. Sandra Weintraub notes, “All of us go to the doctor every year, and
we know our blood pressure and heart rate, our sugar levels and bone density… But at no time are we ever told what
our baseline cognitive functioning is. Because we know aging can bring potential problems with your thinking
abilities, it is very important to know how a person is functioning even in their 50s or 60s. That way when those agerelated changes start to occur, we have a baseline to know if you have changed or not.”
Northwestern University, February 2024
Wellness/Prevention: Greenspace Access and Dementia. Using data from the Healthy Brain Project, researchers
observed that greater access to green spaces is associated with a reduced risk for dementia for residents of

Health Alert: Shortage of Primary Care Providers Leading to More Emergency Surgeries. Primary care
providers (PCP) are essential for identifying health issues early on when they’re easier to manage. However, in areas
with a PCP shortage, individuals are more likely to seek care for health issues once they’ve progressed to the point
of requiring emergency treatment, which may lead to worse outcomes, including complications. The findings
highlight the need for greater access to healthcare services for individuals in underserved areas.
Health Affairs, March 2024
Diet: Healthy Diet Can Aid in Stress Management. The Mediterranean diet is an eating pattern focused on fruit,
vegetables, nuts, fish, olive oil, and whole grains while avoiding red and processed meats, dairy, saturated fats, and
refined sugars. A study that looked at data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study found that greater
adherence to the Mediterranean diet pattern is associated with greater resilience to stress among middle-aged and
older adults. Nutrition Research and Practice, April 2024
Exercise: Yoga Provides Unique Cognitive Benefits for Women at Risk for Alzheimer’s. According to a recent
