National Posture Institute News: Women’s immune systems remain younger for longer

By National Posture Institute (NPI)

National Posture Institute News: Women’s immune systems remain younger for longer. Women’s immune systems age more slowly than men’s, suggests research in BioMed Central’s open access journal Immunity & Ageing. The slower decline in a wom...an’s immune system may contribute to women living longer than men. Researchers looked at the blood of healthy volunteers in Japan, ranging in age between 20 and 90 years old; in both sexes the total number of white blood cells per person decreased with age. The number of neutrophils decreased for both sexes and lymphocytes decreased in men and increased in women. Younger men generally have higher levels of lymphocytes than similarly aged women, so as aging happens, the number of lymphocytes becomes comparable.
Looking in more detail it became apparent that the rate in decline in T cells and B cells was slower for women than men. Both CD4+ T cells and NK cells increased with age, and the rate of increase was higher in women than men. Similarly an age-related decline in IL-6 and IL-10 was worse in men. There was also a age-dependent decrease in red blood cells for men but not women.
This difference in the aging of immune systems between men and women is one of many processes which alter as we grow older. Prof Katsuiku Hirokawa from the Tokyo Medical & Dental University Open Laboratory explained, “The process of aging is different for men and women for many reasons. Women have more oestrogen than men which seems to protect them from cardiovascular disease until menopause. Sex hormones also affect the immune system, especially certain types of lymphocytes. Because people age at different rates a person’s immunological parameters could be used to provide an indication of their true biological age.”

National Posture Institute News: Job stress, unhealthy lifestyle increase risk of coronary artery disease

By National Posture Institute (NPI)

National Posture Institute News: Job stress, unhealthy lifestyle increase risk of coronary artery disease. People with job stress and an unhealthy lifestyle are at higher risk of coronary artery disease than people who have job stress but lead healthy lifestyles, found a study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). Of the total participants, 15 986 (16%) reported job stress, which was determined from specific job-related questions-defined three lifestyle categories based on smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity/inactivity and obesity (body mass index).

National Posture Institute News: Overweight pet owners lead pets to obesity

WORCESTER, Mass /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Richard French, DVM, M.S., Ph.D., Dean of Animal Studies and Allerton Chair of Animal Health Sciences at Becker College i...s urging pet owners to pursue healthy lifestyles. The bond between human owners and their pets may be affecting the health of both, he says, especially when it comes to diabetes, high blood pressure, and other illnesses associated with obesity.
In the veterinary sciences field, we have observed that the epidemic of overweight humans is being mirrored in the population of pet cats and dogs,” says French, a veterinary pathologist. “According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Veterinary Medicine, obesity is just as threatening to the animals as it is to their owners.”
Diseases being diagnosed in animals that are obese “are eerily similar to those reported for people,” according to the center, citing an annual study by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP).
Fat owners, fat pets? It has long been observed that dog and cat owners often resemble the dogs and cats they own. In 2009, a scientist in England issued a study in which 70 subjects were asked to match pictures of 41 dog owners to one of several breeds. They were able to match successfully more than half the time, far better than chance. Why? Because it’s true: Many people look like their pets.
Norman Rockwell , the artist famous for his series of Americana paintings featured on Saturday Evening Post covers, did not need a study to understand how pets and owners reflect each other. He painted a group of dogs and their look-alike owners in 1952, in his famous work “Waiting for the Vet.”
But the resemblance is now being found to extend to problems like obesity and the diseases it can cause, potentially affecting millions of Americans and the animals they love. “More than half of all American households have a companion animal, for a total of 77 million dogs and 93 million cats,” French explains. “There are more dogs and cats in households than children, in addition to 75 million small mammals and reptiles and millions of aquarium fish. Pets are family members, and we often treat them as loved ones, with all the benefits of a great home life. But our pets are, sadly, falling victim to one of the biggest health issues facing their human owners.”
