MINNEAPOLIS/ST.PAUL (04/12/2021) A new probe into the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic revealed correlations to six unhealthy eating behaviors, according to a study by the University of Minnesota Medical School and School of Public Health. Researchers say the most concerning finding indicates a slight increase or the re-emergence of eating disorders, which kill roughly 10,200 people every year about one person every 52 minutes.
U of M Medical School s Melissa Simone, PhD, a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, collaborated with School of Public Health professor and head of the Division of Epidemiology and Community Health, Dianne Neumark-Sztainer, PhD, MPH, to learn from study participants in Neumark-Sztainer s Project EAT between April and May 2020.

We’ve all seen them: political ads on television that promise doom gloom if Candidate X is elected, and how all your problems will be solved if you choose Candidate Y. And Candidate Y, of course, approves this message.

“Many of my friends and family members wind up quite stressed out, for lack of a better word, during each election season,” said Jeff Niederdeppe, professor in the Department of Communication in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, “and I’ve seen this pattern repeat itself across the last several election cycles.”
President Joe Biden s nearly $2 trillion proposal to support U.S. jobs and infrastructure includes $400 billion to fund the kinds of home-based, long-term health care services and aides that many families have, until now, found unaffordable.
Long-term care options are expensive and often out of reach for elders and people with disabilities. Part of the president s proposed infrastructure plan would help fund home-based health services.
There s widespread agreement that it s important to help older adults and people with disabilities remain independent as long as possible. But are we prepared to do what s necessary, as a nation, to make this possible?
That s the challenge President Joe Biden has put forward with his bold proposal to spend $400 billion over eight years on home and community-based services a major part of his $2 trillion infrastructure plan.
