@AskTheNeuroDiva @JessSFisher @WashUOnc @XploreImmunity @AlyssaWeinst @alani_perkin @Dhanusha_06 We are so thrilled to support this important work 🙌

@WUSTLmed So proud to partner with #WashUMed all these years to seed so many truly groundbreaking research projects. There is no better shared mission than to help more people live longer, healthier lives.

An important longitudinal population study in @TheLancet suggests associations between psychological distress and COVID-19 infection

Breast cancer incidence rates have risen in most of the past four decades, largely driven by localized-stage and hormone receptor-positive disease. In contrast, breast cancer mortality rates have declined steadily, according to the @AmericanCancer:

Among adolescents with obesity, once-weekly treatment of semaglutide plus lifestyle intervention resulted in a greater reduction in #BMI than behavior changes alone, according to a new study:

COVID-19 public health safety measures may have reduced influenza transmissibility by a maximum of approximately 17 to 40%, according to research @TheLancet In contrast, the upcoming influenza season might usher in an increase in population susceptibility:

Close pathological margins after breast conserving surgery for early stage, invasive breast cancer are associated with increased distant recurrence and local recurrence, according to research @bmj_latest.

New research in @TheLancet associates cardiometabolic multimorbidity with the risk of dementia. Targeting cardiometabolic multimorbidity might help to reduce the risk of dementia, regardless of genetic risk:

Combine world-caliber researchers from @WUSTLMed with the risk-underwriting expertise of RGA and the insurance industry. The result? The Longer Life Foundation. Explore the difference we make through a new video series at

New research attributes more than 45% of the colon cancer incidence burden to seven modifiable risk factors, including smoking, low physical activity, alcohol consumption, and low intake of calcium:

A new study links men who consumed high rates of ultra-processed foods to a 29% higher risk for developing colorectal cancer, when compared to men who consumed smaller amounts:

Consecutive lung cancer cohort studies in @TheLancet show increases in women and a large proportion of patients diagnosed at metastatic or disseminated stage:

Researchers in a new @TheLancet study found an increased risk of cardiovascular disease with autoimmune disease that increased progressively with the number of autoimmune diseases present and in younger age groups:

A new @JAMACardio cohort study suggests that after controlling for height and/or body size, women without cardiovascular disease were at higher risk for atrial fibrillation than men, underscoring the importance of AF prevention in women.

The burden of cardiovascular risk factors varies globally, with mortality highest in South Asia, according to a new article published in the European Heart Journal, @ehj_ed:

Americans born in 2021 can expect to live for just 76.1 years - the lowest life expectancy has been since 1996, the biggest two-year decline in almost 100 years. The Covid-19 pandemic is the primary cause, but overdoses and accidents also contributed.

Life-expectancy in Africa is 56 years, up by a decade from the turn of the century. Despite welcome initiatives in preventing and treating infectious diseases, these gains were offset by a rise in noncommunicable diseases:

The Longer Life Foundation was founded in 1998 by @RGA_RE and @WUSTLmed with a simple mission: to learn more about human health and longevity and share those discoveries with the world. Hear directly from our investigators about our mission at

Excess mortality has persisted over time in persons with Type 1 diabetes, largely in patients with cardiorenal complications. Improved secondary prevention with a focus on individualized treatment is needed, a cohort study in @TheLancet suggests:

Worldwide prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considerably higher than previously estimated and is continuing to increase at an alarming rate, according to a new study @TheLancet
