For this study, scientists used data from more than 1,700 women participating in the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN). Scientists wanted to see if physical intimate partner violence during pre- or early-perimenopause led to faster declines in cognitive performance later on. They adjusted their analysis for factors like race/ethnicity, education, financial stress, depression, sleep problems, and bodily pain.

Study Finds Multivitamins Enhance Memory in Older Adults
Slowing down memory decline.
Researchers from Columbia University and Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital found that daily multivitamin use can help slow memory decline in older adults. Their study suggests that regular supplementation supports brain health as people age. In a study involving nearly 3,500 adults over 60, researchers randomly assigned participants to take either a daily multivitamin or a placebo for three years.
AI model that predicts male infertility
This model will make infertility testing more accessible at clinical labs.
Researchers at Toho University in Japan developed an AI model that predicts male infertility using only a blood test. Instead of relying on semen analysis, the AI examines hormone levels to assess fertility risk. Since male infertility contributes to about half of all cases, but semen testing is not widely available, this method offers a simpler alternative. The AI was 74% accurate overall and 100% accurate in detecting severe infertility.
Bananas or broccoli? The unexpected food that helps control blood pressure
A mathematical model reveals how the potassium-to-sodium ratio influences the body.
Eating more potassium-rich foods like bananas and broccoli may lower blood pressure better than just cutting salt. Potassium helps counter sodium's effects and supports heart health, making it an important part of a balanced diet. Increasing potassium intake can help regulate blood pressure, as shown in the study. The study also found that men are more prone to high blood pressure than pre-menopausal women but respond better to improved potassium levels in their diet.
The link between Mediterranean diet and brain health
It boost brain health by shifting gut bacteria balance.
A recent study by Tulane University explores how the Mediterranean Diet may support brain health. The research suggests that its cognitive benefits may be linked to changes in the gut microbiome, particularly in the balance of gut bacteria. The findings indicate that the Mediterranean diet or its biological effects could potentially improve academic performance in adolescents and work performance in young adults.
