Here s how calorie label on alcohol drinks may affect obesity ANI | Updated: Feb 06, 2021 21:29 IST
Liverpool [UK], February 6 (ANI): According to the findings of a novel study, calorie labelling which is mandatory on alcoholic drinks could address both alcohol consumption and obesity.
An analysis published in Obesity Reviews summarises the results of studies that have examined consumer knowledge of the calorie content of alcoholic drinks, public support for labelling of calorie content on such drinks, and the effect of labelling on consumption.
In the analysis of 18 relevant studies, there was moderate evidence that people were unaware of the calorie content of alcoholic drinks and that they supported labelling.
Lower risk of Parkinson s disease associated with prostate medication ANI | Updated: Feb 05, 2021 10:08 IST
Iowa [US], February 5 (ANI): The recent findings of a large observational study suggest that lower risk of developing Parkinson s disease is associated with taking a particular type of medication, that is used for the treatment of enlarged prostate.
This study led by researchers from the University of Iowa, with colleagues in Denmark and China, has been published in the journal, JAMA Neurology. It provides compelling evidence that terazosin, and similar medications, might have the potential to prevent or delay the development of Parkinson s disease.
The new study used data on almost 300,000 older men from two large, independent patient datasets the Truven Health Analytics MarketScan database in the United States and national health registries in Denmark to investigate whether taking terazosin is associated with the development of Parki

Researchers study how facial ageing is accelerated by fat loss ANI | Updated: Jan 31, 2021 14:53 IST
Washington [US], January 31 (ANI): Researchers during a recent study have tried to determine how the signs of facial aging are accelerated due to fat loss and how it s treated by plastic surgeons.
The traditional theory is sagging: the facial soft tissues simply yield to the effects of gravity over time. And while the idea that weakening ligaments in the midface could result in soft tissue descent still has merit, more recent studies point in another direction. Perhaps the real culprit behind facial ageing is the loss of fat - both near the surface of the skin and in deeper areas.
