The real‐world applicability of long‐term blood pressure (BP) variability measurements remains underexplored. We evaluated the association between visit‐to‐visit BP variability and the risk of ...

Current global climate models (GCMs) support with high confidence the view that rising greenhouse gases and other anthropogenic forcings account for nearly all observed global surface warming—slightly ...

Modern smart watches can measure all sorts of health indicators. Step counts and heart rates sit at the simpler end of the array, whereas VO 2 max and blood-oxygen levels are of more interest to ...

These days, it may seem like there’s a million different data points that you’re supposed to keep track of—hello, steps, sleep, and recovery scores!—and it’s difficult to know which ones are worth ...

This article was made possible by the support of Yakult and produced independently by Scientific American’s board of editors. Earlier this year I got an Oura ring to track the state of my health. Soon ...

The authors explore the limitations of the current system of revisit interval assignment and discuss the importance of standardization to optimize patient health care outcomes. Physicians often rely ...

Greg Daugherty has worked 25+ years as an editor and writer for major publications and websites. He is also the author of two books. Katie Miller is a consumer financial services expert. She worked ...

Did you know there’s a number that might let you know how stressed you are, whether you have a cold coming on and how to get into the zone if you’re about to present at a big meeting? You can find ...

Understanding the spatial organization of interindividual variability in functional connectivity (FC) across the human connectome can offer insights into which connections are most susceptible to ...

A new study shows how pathogens control changes in their cell surface to evade the immune system. A new study by LMU and Helmholtz Munich shows how pathogens control changes in their cell surface to ...

It’s been known for decades that heart rate variability (HRV) during labor signals how a fetus is responding to stress. Lower HRV—a lower variation in heartbeats—is even a risk factor for sudden ...
