Routine blood test may flag hidden osteoporosis risk, study finds
A large hospital-based cross-sectional study examined whether routinely measured serum alkaline phosphatase can indicate osteoporosis risk in adults undergoing health checks. Higher ALP levels, even within the normal range, were associated with greater osteoporosis likelihood, particularly in younger, female, and metabolically healthy individuals.

Supportive marriages may shape appetite control through oxytocin and the brain–gut axis
Supportive marital relationships are associated with lower BMI, fewer food addiction symptoms, higher oxytocin, stronger frontal brain responses to food cues, and favorable gut tryptophan metabolites. These coordinated social, neural, hormonal, and gut pathways suggest a plausible biological link between emotional support and healthier eating regulation.

Hotter days and nights are already stealing sleep across the U.S.
Rising nighttime and daytime temperatures are associated with reduced sleep duration, poorer sleep continuity, delayed sleep onset, and altered sleep stages in a large U.S. cohort tracked with wearable devices. Vulnerability is greatest among adults aged 40–50 years, females, people with lower socioeconomic status, chronic conditions, and those living in marine climate zones, with climate change projected to further magnify sleep loss.

Everyday PFAS exposure alters placental function in early pregnancy
This study measured real-life PFAS concentrations in first-trimester human placentas and used these data to create a pregnancy-relevant PFAS mixture. In 3D trophoblast spheroid models, the mixture altered invasion, hormone secretion, and gene expression without broadly reducing viability at environmentally relevant doses.
