New research indicates that stroke incidence among Americans younger than 55 has roughly doubled compared with rates recorded in the 1990s. Researchers say they have not yet identified a clear explanation for the rise in younger patients.
Researchers analyzing blood samples from 17,710 people found that those with the highest xylitol levels were 57% more likely to die or suffer a heart attack or stroke within six years than those with the lowest levels, with elevated risk persisting for decades. The findings, presented at the European Society of Cardiology's annual congress in Munich, showed a dose-dependent relationship between xylitol blood levels and cardiovascular events.
Speedo has introduced a wearable sensor module designed to attach to compatible goggles already owned by swimmers, rather than requiring a full new headset. The device tracks metrics such as head movement, pace, and stroke count during a swim session, syncing that data to a companion smartphone app for analysis.
A new study reports that people with elevated blood levels of xylitol, a common sugar substitute, faced an increased likelihood of major cardiovascular events including heart attack, stroke and death. Researchers observed this association after tracking cardiovascular outcomes alongside xylitol levels in study participants.
