Colorectal cancer rates have been increasing among adults under age 50, with lifestyle-related exposures accounting for much of the estimated risk.

New research suggests that endometriosis—a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, often causing pelvic pain and fertility problems—is associated with a 69% higher risk of cardiovascular disease. The authors cite several possible explanations, including chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, less favorable cholesterol levels, and shared genetic susceptibility.

Specialized Resistance Training Shows Promise for Healthy Aging.

Eccentric overload training focuses resistance on the portion of a movement when a muscle is lengthening—for example, while slowly lowering into a squat. A meta-analysis of data from 15 randomized trials found that this approach may improve lower-body strength as well as explosive power in aging adults, helping them maintain physical function and potentially supporting their ability to avoid serious falls.
