Regularly exercising with weights is linked to a lower risk of death from any cause, with the exception of cancer, finds research carried out in older adults and published online in theEnsuring that a weekly exercise routine includes both weights and aerobic activities seems to have an additive effect, the findings suggest.
All adults are also recommended to incorporate activities that work all the major muscle groups. Yet whileis consistently associated with a lower risk of death, it's not clear if working out with weights might have similar effects. Moderate intensity was described as"activity where you worked up a light sweat or increased your breathing and heart rate to moderately high levels" and vigorous activity as"activity strenuous enough to work up a sweat or increase your breathing andFour activity groups were generated based on total weekly minutes of MVPA: inactive, 0 minutes; insufficient aerobic MVPA, 1-149 minutes; sufficient, 150+ minutes of moderate or an equivalent amount of vigorous activity; and highly...
Overall, working out with weights in the absence of MVPA was associated with a 9-22% lower risk of death, depending on the amount. For example, using weights once or twice a week was associated with a 14% lower risk. Educational attainment, smoking, BMI, race and ethnicity didn't significantly change the associations observed, but sex did: The associations were stronger in women.

Frozen embryo transfers linked with high blood pressure risks in pregnancyIn vitro fertilization (IVF) using frozen embryos may be associated with a 74% higher risk of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, according to new research published today in Hypertension. In comparison, the study found that pregnancies from fresh embryo transfers—transferring the fertilized egg immediately after in vitro fertilization (IVF) instead of a frozen, fertilized egg—and pregnancy from natural conception shared a similar risk of developing a hypertensive disorder.
