Now every Marin woman who gets a screening mammogram and every Marin woman diagnosed with breast cancer will help answer the question as part of a study being launched this month. Researchers believe the Marin Women's Study could yield clues to the causes of breast cancer in the same way the ongoing 58-year-old Framingham Heart Study led to an understanding of some of the causes of cardiovascular disease. About 250 Marin County women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer this year, Ereman said. In two years, epidemiologists expect to enroll at least 400 Marin women recently diagnosed with breast cancer in the study. Investigators then plan to match women with breast cancer with similar healthy women in an effort to sort out differences that might contribute to breast cancer risk...
The secret to a long, disease-free life may be as simple as pushing yourself away from the dinner table before eating too much . . . at least if you're a monkey. Working with rhesus monkeys for 20 years, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have found that severely restricting calories led to significantly fewer deaths from natural causes as well as fewer cases of diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease and brain shrinkage.
Washington Gaylord A. Nelson, who spent a lifetime in service to Wisconsin, the nation and the planet, never stopped fighting on behalf of environmental causes, even as his own body began to fail.

The NASMHPD report reviews the causes of the increased morbidity and mortality-cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, and infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS-and points out that many more persons with severe mental illness are dying of general medical conditions than are dying of suicide. By acknowledging community mental health organizations as medical homes and encouraging them to create and sustain relationships with primary care and other specialty providers, the healthcare system will be able to better serve persons with mental illness.
TV watching tied to disease LOS ANGELES - Researchers have found that each hour spent watching TV is linked with an 18 percent greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, an 11 percent greater risk of all causes of death, and a 9 percent increased risk of death from cancer.
Missing boater died of natural causes Richard Fiske, the Woodbridge boater whose body was recovered Sunday in the Housatonic River, died of natural causes. According to the state's chief medical examiner's office, which performed an autopsy Monday, Fiske, 75, died from an "intra-cerebral hemorrhage, due to hypertensive cardiovascular disease.
Soon, one pill could be used to treat the nation's top two causes of preventable death: smoking and obesity. New university studies suggest the experimental drug, rimonabant, which could be ready for marketing approval next year, could tackle the two conditions, which are the leading causes for both cardiovascular disease and cancer in the United States.
DALLAS -- Wilford "Crazy Ray" Jones, the boisterous Dallas Cowboys fan who energized crowds for decades with his cowboy getup and sideline cheerleading, died Saturday. He was 76.

Did you know that cardiovascular or heart disease claims more women's lives each year than the next five leading causes of death among women? We're talking half a million women a year! While these statistics may sound scary, there is some encouraging news. Heart disease is mostly preventable. Your healthy lifestyle (or lack of it) will make a huge difference. How do we love our hearts to keep them strong and healthy?
