By Cara Murez HealthDay Reporter(HealthDay)FRIDAY, Nov. 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Put down the saltshaker — especially if you’re at risk of type 2 diabetes. While the condition brings to mind the need to avoid sugar, a new study links it to frequent salt consumption. He is chair and professor at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans. Over almost 12 years on average, the research team saw more than 13,000 cases of type 2 diabetes develop. Compared to those who “never” or “rarely” used salt, participants who “sometimes,” “usually” or “always” added salt had a respective 13%, 20% and 39% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to the study.

By Cara Murez HealthDay Reporter(HealthDay)WEDNESDAY, Nov. 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Despite progress in recent decades, too many Americans still have dangerously high LDL cholesterol levels, and about a quarter don't even know it, new research finds. Of course, you can only start treatment for high cholesterol if you know your cholesterol numbers are high. “That's why it's absolutely imperative that everybody should get their cholesterol checked and they should know their numbers,” Virani said. Being unaware and untreated for high cholesterol disproportionately affected Black, Hispanic and poorer people. “Clinicians have a lot of options to treat these patients and make sure that both their quality and quantity of life is not compromised just because of these high LDL cholesterol levels,” Virani said.

By Cara Murez HealthDay Reporter(HealthDay)MONDAY, Oct. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Not all children diagnosed with autism as toddlers continue to have that diagnosis once they reach elementary school, a new study shows. The children in the study received a diagnosis between 12 months and 36 months of age, and received community-based interventions. They then had a research diagnosis assessment at age 5 to 7 years, between August 2018 and January 2022. Other researchers have suggested a turning point around [age] 6 where children no longer have the symptoms,” Harstad said. More informationThe U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more on autism spectrum disorder.

☆ It's Time to Start Preparing Against Flu, RSV & COVID-19
  + stars: | 2023-09-15 | by ( Sept. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +5 min
The flu vaccine is now available in some locations. And new respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines are recommended for some. "We should do what we can to protect ourselves — and others — with the best tool we have: the flu vaccine." Not only that, but COVID-19 and RSV could again spike at the same time as the flu, triggering a "tripledemic," Gandhi said. Women who are between 32 and 36 weeks pregnant can also protect their infants at birth by getting a new Pfizer RSV vaccine.

☆ FDA Approval of New COVID Boosters Could Come by Friday
  + stars: | 2023-09-07 | by ( Sept. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +2 min
Sources familiar with U.S. Food and Drug Administration plans say boosters could be approved as soon as Friday, NBC News reported. This time, the FDA may grant full approval for the boosters rather than emergency use authorization, according to NBC News sources. If the FDA doesn’t approve the boosters on Friday, it could do so early next week. While protection wanes over time, about 97% of adults have some level of protective immunity from past COVID infections and vaccinations. The Biden administration has announced a “bridge” program to offer uninsured people access to free boosters through 2024.
