A Harvard-led analysis of more than 200,000 US adults found healthy plant-based diets lowered cardiometabolic risk regardless of ultra-processed food content.

Identifying who is most at risk for endometriosis, and recognizing its hallmark symptoms early, can shorten the path to diagnosis and reduce its enormous economic toll.

Endometriosis affects far more women than commonly cited figures suggest, and the gap between perception and reality shapes how the disease is diagnosed and treated.
