What is urinary incontinence?
If you miss a little urine when you cough or laugh, if, when he put the key in the lock when you get home you can not suppress the urge to urinate, if you went to the bathroom for half an hour and feel like new, if urine over 8 times a day if you wake up each night to urinate all, if you have loss of urine unconscious … then you have a problem with urinary incontinence. In contrast, a good bladder control means you urinate only when and where they want to.

One problem, many affected
More than 5% of the Spanish population, and twice as many women than men – suffer loss of bladder control. In fact, urinary incontinence affects 10% -25% of women younger than 65 years and 15% -30% of older. The message from the experts: “Suffering in silence urinary incontinence does not make sense. In the vast majority of cases, the problem can be treated without surgery. “

Causes transient or persistent
Incontinence can be due to transient problems such as urinary tract or vaginal infections, severe constipation, obesity, smoking, or the effect of certain drugs (antidepressants, diuretics, narcotics, anti psychotics …). It may also result from neurological problems or stroke, diabetes, enlarged prostate (in men), abnormalities in the urethra, prolapsed uterus or bladder … When no other pathology is secondary (which happens in most cases), usually taken for loss or damage tone of the muscles involved in urination, the bladder muscle, sphincter muscles and pelvic floor muscles.

An underactive thyroid gland is one of the most discussed endocrine conditions in the U.S. and wanted to see if the thyroid can be the key to long life, at least for some people, according to researchers.

Dr. Martin Surks and his colleagues at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York studied hundreds of people who had lived to 100 years and found evidence in people with low thyroid activity, those most likely to be in that group.

We used a national health survey to assess the average hormone levels in people of different ages.

The thyroid is located in the neck and is a kind of master gland, secretes hormones that affect metabolism and therefore has a relationship with obesity.

Doctors often monitor their activity as an indirect measure of levels of the hormone (TSH) or thyroid stimulating hormone.

Indicate that high levels of TSH is a condition known as hypothyroidism and low levels suggest that it is overactive, called hyperthyroidism.

People with low thyroid function can lose hair, gain weight and feel weak, while those with overactive thyroid can lose weight and feel a constant nervous state, but both can be easily treated with a daily pill.

Surks and his colleagues found that between 15 and 20 percent of people over 60 have TSH levels that suggest an underactive thyroid gland, which is believed to be normal in older people, as sign of longevity.

For now, we’ve all heard that diets high in fat are detrimental to our long-term health, but what about the short term?

Studies of laboratory animals resulted in an increase in protein levels of dissociation 3, which makes less efficient use of oxygen needed for energy functional.
