Most of us are familiar with the term, Body Mass Index, or BMI, as an index to determine healthy body weight. But, calculating BMI involves a complex formula: weight in pounds is multiplied by 703, and then divided by height in inches squared. Charts or online calculators are then used to show a "healthy weight range" given an individual's height that corresponds to the "healthy range BMI.

"Second impact syndrome occurs when the brain swells rapidly after a person suffers a second concussion before symptoms of the first concussion have subsided," said Dr. Patrick McCulloch with the Methodist Center for Sports Medicine in Houston.

New Links Between Alcohol Abuse, Depression, Obesity In Young Women
There is new evidence that depression, obesity and alcohol abuse or dependency are interrelated conditions among young adult women but not men. Using data collected when young adults were 24, 27 and 30 years of age, a team of University of Washington researchers found that nearly half the sample of 776 young adults tracked during the study met the criteria for one of these conditions at each of these time points.

Regular Aerobic Exercise Reduces Health Concerns Associated With Fatty Liver
Researchers from the University of Sydney, Australia determined that patients with a sedentary lifestyle who engage in routine physical activities lower their risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Animal Study Reveals How Exercise Minimizes Weight Regain
Researchers in the US showed that exercise minimized weight regain in rats that lost weight on a long term diet and were then allowed to eat freely. The evidence suggests that exercise causes the body to burn fat first and store carbohydrates for later, a process that reduces appetite and signals fullness to the brain, leading to slower weight regain.

Diabetes Drug Shows Promise In Fighting Lethal Cancer Complication
Insulin resistance, the hallmark of type 2 diabetes and a condition often associated with obesity, is paradoxically also an apparent contributor to muscle wasting and severe fat loss that accompanies some cancers, according to new research. And in an animal study, a diabetes drug that promotes insulin sensitivity slowed the progression of muscle wasting and fat loss, the main consequences of a syndrome called cachexia, in mice with colon cancer tumors.

Crucial Role Of Macrophages In Muscle Regeneration Uncovered By EMBL Scientists
For scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Monterotondo, Italy, what seemed like a disappointing result turned out to be an important discovery. Their findings, published online this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), provide conclusive proof that, when a muscle is injured, white blood cells called macrophages play a crucial role in its regeneration.

Upheaval Leads To Less-Familiar Choices Where Comfort Food Is Concerned
You'd think in times of uncertainty, people would gravitate toward familiar favorites. But a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research shows that stress and upheaval actually lead people to choose less-familiar foods over "comfort foods." "Most of us can name our favorite 'comfort foods' and believe that we are most prone to seek them out during times of stress and upheaval," writes author Stacy Wood (University of South Carolina).
