Half of adults seek health advice online
25 Aug 2019 08:17
Half of Irish adults seek health information or advice online, while one in five has never spoken to a healthcare professional about their health concerns, a new survey has found. According to the findings, people under the age of 25 are the age group least likely to speak to a healthcare professional about their health concerns. The survey of 1,000 adults was carried out last month on behalf of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), to coincide with the launch of a series of public
Low vitamin levels linked to frailty
25 Aug 2019 08:17
Irish researchers have found that lower levels of certain dietary vitamins and antioxidants are associated with frailty in older people. Frailty affects up to one in four adults over the age of 65 and over half of those over the age of 80. It is characterised by an overall decline in physical function and a loss of ability to bounce back after a stressful event, such as a fall, an infection or surgery. Frailty is linked with poor health, including mental health, disability and death. However,
Belfast team in ovarian cancer test breakthrough
25 Aug 2019 08:17
Researchers in Belfast have developed a test that may be able to detect the most common type of ovarian cancer up to two years earlier than current tests. Ovarian cancer is the sixth most common female cancer in Ireland, with over 400 women newly diagnosed every year. More than 270 die from the disease annually. It is commonly referred to as the 'silent killer' because the symptoms can be mistaken for other illnesses, which can lead to late stage diagnosis. However, researchers at Queen's Uni

More research into microplastics needed
25 Aug 2019 08:17
The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for more research into the health impact of microplastics in the environment, particularly in drinking water. It is also calling for an overall reduction in plastic pollution "to benefit the environment and reduce human exposure". Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic resulting from the disposal and breakdown of consumer products and industrial waste. According to the WHO, microplastics are now ubiquitous in the environment, having been detecte
Car users urged to always wear seat belts
25 Aug 2019 08:17
While the vast majority of car users wear seat belts when travelling, figures from the Road Safety Authority (RSA) suggest that at least one in 10 rear seat passengers fail to use them. The RSA is calling on everyone who travels by car to always wear a seat belt. It has just launched a new advertising campaign, which is aimed at improving seat belt compliance, particularly among rear seat passengers. "Failing to put on your seat belt doesn't just increase the likelihood that you will be killed
