Dr. Ray O’Connor provides a summary of clinical studies and their implications in practice. One study found that the burden of diseases related to high BMI in Asia has increased considerably over the past few decades. Another study concluded that running therapy outperformed antidepressants in impacts on physical health while being comparable in mental health outcomes. Loneliness was found to predict cardiovascular disease risk in diabetes patients. A study using the UK Biobank data identified factors associated with young-onset dementia. A real-world cohort study also found that the effectiveness of the live zoster vaccine waned over time. Lastly, the World Health Organization recommended a second malaria vaccine for children based on promising phase 3 trial results.
