New model tracks disease spread through daily commuting

Tue, 10/14/2025 - 23:10
For countless millions across the globe, commuting to work or school is an everyday routine. But during a pandemic, the practice can contribute enormously to the spread of infectious disease, a fact that many traditional metapopulation models often overlook because they are designed primarily for migration and treat people as if they rarely move locally.

Why improving LE8 scores could save young adults from diabetes

Tue, 10/14/2025 - 22:15
Young adults with prediabetes who maintained higher Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) cardiovascular health scores were far less likely to progress to type 2 diabetes over 13 years. Ideal LE8 profiles, particularly healthy weight, blood pressure, physical activity, and sleep, were strongly associated with regression to normal glucose levels.
