Good news is, I got permission from my supervisor to conduct interviews for my Master's study in English as well, so sharing this here and on my other socials. I would really like to hear you guys' stories!

“The study followed about 700 women from pregnancy to midlife, and those who resided in a highly disadvantaged neighborhood within 10 years of perimenopause experienced early natural onset menopause, with socioeconomic status and household characteristics having the largest effect on long-term trajectories.
Earlier menopause is linked to higher risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and mortality, with odds increasing about 2% to 3% with a 1-year decrease in menopause age. The lack of access to social and economic resources that may contribute to early menopause requires intervention to address related health outcomes, the authors stated.”

Leveraging the boring time on the phone

And this will he how they turn physical disability into evidence of psychopathy. Awesome. #LimaFromAura is salivating over this. This is how she gets conservatorship over people to force them into her “treatment center”/data broker program.

From the link:

“Similarly, if smartphone sensors detect a notable increase in time spent at home (via GPS), decreased physical activity (via accelerometer), and reduced initiation and response to communication (via call and text meta-data), this could trigger a brief assessment of depressive symptoms or anhedonia. If symptoms are elevated, the system could deliver a targeted, smartphone-delivered behavioral activation or cognitive behavioral intervention.”

Yeah duh, migraines aren’t prevented by apps.

The period tracker helps me plan for migraines, & it reminds me to start taking ibuprofen days before my period will start and that helps keep the hormone low that causes a lot of endo pain, so I guess it kinda prevents issues by helping me keep track of danger days.

And if I didn’t already know what other things trigger migraines tracking that would help, but an app someone “prescribes” you isn’t going to be better than one you choose with those features.

Tech bros should fuck off.

“Question  Is SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or severity associated with acceleration in changes in cognitive function among older adults after accounting for important prepandemic confounders, including genetic risk for cognitive decline?
Findings  In this cohort study of 3525 participants, cognitive function decreased more rapidly among participants hospitalized for a SARS-CoV-2 infection when compared with participants not infected with SARS-CoV-2. These findings were evident after robust multivariable adjustment for confounders.
Meaning  These findings suggest that avoiding severe SARS-CoV-2 infection could help preserve cognitive function among older adults.”

“A landmark within-patient study in Sweden found that ADHD medication was associated with a 41% reduction in criminal convictions in women and a 32% reduction in men. In the US, MarketScan insurance data demonstrated that adolescents and adults had a 31% lower risk of substance-related emergency events in women and a 35% lower risk in men during months on ADHD medication. Similarly, Chang and colleagues reported a 42% lower rate of motor vehicle crashes in women and a 38% lower rate in men in medicated months. This real-world benefit extends even further. A meta-analysis by Boland et al demonstrated protective effects similar to those found by Li and colleagues, showing 25% to 35% within-group improvement during the active treatment period and nearly 50% improvement between treated and never-treated groups across mood disorders, substance use disorders, accidents, crime, injuries, and educational outcomes.”

The vast majority of Americans (more than 80%) don't pay for news at all.

Those who do tend to be:
- old
- white or Asian
- well off
- educated
- Democrats

Interesting #study by the Pew Research center:

"The human response to the #climateCrisis is being obstructed and delayed by the production and circulation of misleading information about the nature of #climateChange and the available #solutions.
The findings of this #study indicate that powerful actors—including corporations, governments, and political parties—intentionally spread inaccurate or misleading #narratives about anthropogenic climate change."

This is amazing because I never ever see anyone talk about the clinical benefits of acceptance and commitment therapy. All I ever see is that CBT cures all problems and everyone should do it, which is ridiculous.

I didn’t read this whole thing, but I suspect that parents accepting their child’s diagnosis and figuring out how to help them live the best life they can with the health that they have would keep them from triggering asthma attacks that they can prevent. If you’re not constantly trying to push yourself because you refuse to accept limitations that really helps. Weird, huh?

I don’t understand why this wouldn’t be the way to go. Let’s see, should I accept my condition and commit to living my best life anyway or should I constantly trying to gaslight myself into thinking that everything is great despite the fact that it’s not? Toxic positivity or accommodations and reality? Weird how acceptance and commitment works better than toxic positivity. I’m so happy they did a study about this lol
