Headphones with heart rate monitors are nothing new — I first tried some out 10 years ago and have tested earbuds from Jabra, Sennheiser, and most recently Beats that all offer the feature.

Your neck might reveal more about your health than your BMI. Research shows a thicker neck could quietly signal hidden risks for the heart, metabolism, and sleep. Credit: Stock Neck circumference signals risks for heart and metabolic disease. Even normal BMI doesn’t eliminate these risks. For many years, doctors have used measurements such as body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip …

Doctors are beginning to explore neck circumference as part of routine health check-ups, especially for those at risk of heart disease. However, more research is needed before it becomes a standard recommendation. For now, it works best as a supportive measure, not a stand-alone predictor.

Study findings published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology examined over 15 years of data from the Rochester Epidemiology Project, providing …

Disrupted sleep impairs cell repair, elevates inflammation, and weakens the immune system. Studies reveal associations between short sleep duration and increased risks of hypertension, heart disease, and early mortality. Sleep has too frequently been written off as …

As we age, not only do we need to be on top of diet and exercise to focus on our cardiovascular health, but we also need to worry about protecting ourselves against diseases by staying up to date on important vaccinations. But while these two concerns don’t typically go hand-in-hand, mounting evidence may suggest otherwise. Scientists say that getting the …

A long list of Lynda Hollander’s paternal relatives had heart disease, and several had undergone major surgeries. So when she hit her mid-50s and saw her cholesterol levels creeping up after menopause, she said, “I didn’t want to take a chance.” A cardiologist told Hollander that, based on factors including age, sex, cholesterol and blood pressure, she faced a moderate …
