A 10-year study of nearly 10,000 women aged 65 and older found that regular tea drinking was linked to slightly higher bone mineral density, a key marker of osteoporosis risk.

A new study from Johns Hopkins Medicine reveals that sex hormones like testosterone and estradiol influence heart disease risk in type 2 diabetes differently for men and women.

The findings suggest potential for more personalized prevention strategies.
