The word that has no connection with the message of this quote by Michelle Obama is in alternative

    A host of social, environmental and psychological factors could play a role in the link between a neighborhood’s socioeconomic status and the risk of its inhabitants developing dementia. For example, poorer areas have lower access to healthcare and less green space, which has been shown to protect older adults from dementia risk, according to recent studies. Air pollution, which was tied to cognitive decline in a study by Chinese researchers, tends to be worse in poorer neighborhoods. Multiple studies have linked a healthy diet with improved cognitive function, but healthy foods are more expensive in many regions.

     Crime and social disorder, which impact a person’s perception of safety and community cohesion, may also increase dementia risk for residents in lower socioeconomic status areas. Chronic stress due to structural disadvantages, discrimination and economic adversity will wear down a person’s brain, as high cortisol — the hormone that correlates with stress — produces neurotoxic effects, according to multiple studies. “With healthy lifestyle habits a key factor in reducing or delaying your risk of developing dementia, it is important for everyone to have access to local facilities such as gyms and public pools, green spaces and health care, but unfortunately that is not always the case,” said Professor Matthew Pase.

   Women’s health has benefitted from many significant advancements in the past few decades, from new knowledge about women-specific health conditions all the way to advancing women’s lifespans. The focus on the health and wellness needs of women is stronger than ever before — and it’s saving millions of women’s lives. General health care research is critical, but women face a specific set of challenges that require understanding and awareness. And recently, they’ve been getting the attention they deserve.

    Here is one of the advancements in women’s health worth celebrating. Thirty years ago, breast cancer seemed to be an insurmountable challenge in the medical field. In 1985, death rates were at an all-time high, when about 33 out of every 100.000 women lost their lives to the disease. What’s more, breast cancer prevention was a distant reality.Thanks to increased screening, breast cancer is now being detected earlier. In 1990, only half of all American women over 50 years old had a mammogram in the past 2 years. Now, 73% of women over 50 years old have had a mammogram in the past 2 years. This has led to an estimated 10% drop in breast cancer deaths.

    This jump in screening can be largely attributed to awareness, but it’s also a result of the fact that most insurance companies are now required to cover breast cancer screening for women over 40 years old.What’s more, if breast cancer is found early, a woman’s chances of beating it are much higher. Federally-funded research has led to better treatment options, which has brought the death rate down from nearly 33 to about 21 out of every 100,000 women. Breast cancers that are considered inoperable are now being treated, thanks to hormonal medications. And breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) has replaced the full mastectomy for early-stage breast cancers — meaning more women can keep the bodies they love after fighting their battles.

    The ultimate goal is to prevent cancer — not just diagnose and treat. When it comes to breast cancer, that’s becoming increasingly possible every day.
