Description: Life expectancy has increased dramatically over the past century, from 47.3 in 1900 to 76.9 in 2000. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates a baby boy born in 2004 can expect to live more than 75 years; a baby girl, more than 80 years. While people are living longer, they are not necessarily maintaining their health. The Census Bureau reports 80 percent of Americans 65 and older have at least one type of chronic health problem. 50 percent of older Americans have two or more chronic health problems. Heart disease, cancer and stroke are the leading causes of death for seniors.

Description: Women & Stroke: What You Need To Know Last Update: 7:54 am REPORT #1469 BACKGROUND: According to the American Stroke Association, stroke is the third-leading cause of death, behind heart disease and cancer. In the United States, stroke is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability. About 5.8 million people are living today who have suffered a stroke. While 2.3 million of those stroke survivors are men, 3.4 million are women. The latest statistics show women account for more stroke deaths than men -- about 60.8 percent of deaths. RISK FACTORS FOR WOMEN: While many risk factors for stroke are the same for men and women -- like family history, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, weight and sedentary lifestyle -- there are several, lesser-known risk factors for women that are not often talked about.

Description: Estrogen therapy may limit stroke damage if started close to, but not long after reproductive cycles are over, according to a new animal study. The results were presented Sunday, June 15, at The Endocrine Society's 90th Annual Meeting in San Francisco.

Description: Studies: Aggressive blood sugar control may not reduce death risk FMI Pharmacy dailyLead | 06/09/2008 Two studies -- one conducted in the U.S. and the other in Australia -- found that using drugs to aggressively regulate blood sugar levels may not reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke or death in patients with Type 2 diabetes. The U.S. trial, which was stopped in February, showed that 5% of patients under intensive drug therapy died of any cause before the end of the study, compared with 4% of patients under standard treatment.

Description: Ailing Jankovic, Safina to miss Wimbledon warmup Associated Press Updated: June 8, 2008, 9:57 AM ET Comment Email Print BIRMINGHAM, England -- Defending champion Jelena Jankovic and French Open runner-up Dinara Safina will not compete at the DFS Classic that starts Monday. Jankovic withdrew from the Wimbledon warmup with the same arm injury that caused the Serb to fly home to Belgrade after losing to Ana Ivanovic in the semifinals of the French Open. Safina withdrew with a bad back. The 14th-ranked Russian was the fourth top-20 player to withdraw from the tournament, including Maria Sharapova who decided to skip the tournament due to a shoulder problem. Jankovic beat Sharapova in last year's final and went on to reach the final at Den Bosch, The Netherlands, the following week. She entered Wimbledon tired and lost to Marion Bartoli in the last 16.
