"Frailty increased prior to diagnosis

The project analysed data from four longitudinal studies across the UK and the USA.
Of the 30,000 participants, 3,154 of them developed dementia. The research found that frailty increased and accelerated nine years before a dementia diagnosis."
It's may not be a fact DO NOT TOSS GRAN out of her chair!

International study led by Queensland University finds link between frailty and dementia - ABC News

Dad RIP had dementia. That certainly slowed him down! I didnt see a significant increase in his frailty in the years before his diagnosis.

Happily,

I like science and am not working ( Volunteer CFA, running, fishing .......)


Participated in a Guinea pig Phase One drug testing with Nucleus Network is the only global Phase I specialist of its kind. Since 2004, we’ve conducted over 1,000 trials for leading biotech and pharmaceutical companies around the world.

Had fun meeting other Guinea pigs who seemed to be participating mostly for the money. They did give me $4k for my time so it did pay a bit of coin.

Doing another for spending money for a trip to Wales for a mates birthday party in December. I may be too tight to spend my own money


New One is a "study is testing a potential new treatment (“study drug”) for myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as heart attack. The study drug is called IB409."

The only pain for this for me so far is the same questions over and over again.

NOT suggesting you make yourself a Guinea Pig. If you do toss them my name I get $500 possibly. I'd donate that to a charity Promise. Find a trial | Nucleus Network (Brisbane and Melbourne)

The Last word edit "This is the first time IB409 will be given to humans. Although unlikely, there is a risk of death in first in human studies such as this study."

"Associate Professor Nathan Johnson, an exercise physiologist in the faculty of medicine and health at the University of Sydney, said the study was further evidence the benefits of even moderate exercise significantly outweighed potentially negative effects." "Trump’s avoidance of physical activity other than golf to his belief that the body is like a battery, born with a finite amount of energy, and strenuous exercise only drains those reserves prematurely."

"“We had a bit of a laugh,” said La Gerche. “And then we thought ‘hang on, we’ve got some actual data to prove it’s silly.’ ”La Gerche’s team at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute analysed the average heart rate of 109 elite athletes and a control group of 38 non-athletes participating in a long-running study on heart health.


The results, published by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology this week, found the fitter cohort used significantly fewer total heartbeats per day."

My Heart rate at present is sub 50 beats per minute. Frequently its over 130BPM.



Walk, swim ride or run. Move it

Totally agree ! (Sez a somewhat less - than - driven - lazy - old bugger.....).

It was well accepted back in my boarding school days that Rowing was the most beneficial sport - for great health in your Senior years...Back then, participation in the 'Rowing Club' was an exclusive activity within an exclusive $$$$. school... We knew that Rowers had a lower HR,which followed them through life - even when fat & lazy later on... in my case the Rowing machines were the drug of addiction at the gym in pre-covid time.

Apart from 'final sprinting, the pattern of Effort, slow return - Effort... mimics the classic & Efficient. H.I.I.T. pattern.

Truly, the child is the father of the (Old) man !

I have LOVE HATE relationship with rowing. Pre Dawn midwinter on Lake Wendouree may have been above ZERO - It didn't feel that way I appreciate shivering may be the bodys way of MOVE IT when very cold but post a dive in Canada and hyperthermia my wish to shiver has been exhausted. Note my summer or winter running kit is almost exactly the same

This is amazing science and trivia

"The Einstein paradox: No prize for the theory of relativity

The Nobel Prize committee repeatedly rejected Einstein's theory of relativity because it seemed too speculative and theoretical to them; they preferred experimental evidence.
It was only when pressure from the international scientific community grew that Einstein received his 1921 Nobel Prize — not for the theory of relativity, but for his theory of the photoelectric effect, which could be measured and verified.
Even at the award ceremony, where the Nobel Committee presented its justification for the award, they avoided mentioning Einstein's fundamental theory about the law of gravitation and its relation to the forces of nature. They continued to reject it. But it still shapes the way scientists approach many aspects of the natural world."

as was number 2

"A prized promise: Mileva Maric & Albert Einstein

In their 1919 divorce settlement, Albert Einstein promised his then-wife, Mileva Maric, that he would give her the entire prize money of a future Nobel Prize — at a time when Einstein had yet to win the prize.
When Einstein finally won a Nobel Prize in 1921, he transferred the money as promised, giving Maric a certain financial security for herself and their children."

Along similar lines - most people know at least the name of perhaps the most notable scientist to ever live, Sir Isaac Newton, whose Principia Mathematica in 1687 laid out laws of classical mechanics, which remained unchallenged until Einstein proposed his Special Relativity over two hundred years later.

But was he knighted for his laws of motion?

No. It is generally stated that he was knighted for his work in charge of the Royal Mint and his associated economics input. This was intended to be a sinecure, but he took the post seriously - and had several counterfeiters hanged. It is likely that political considerations relating to his position at the university and influence on local politics also was behind the knighthood.
