Aquellos que no socializan con amigos o familiares pueden ver aumentar su riesgo de morir prematuramente en un 39%.Muchos estudios anteriores relacionaron la soledad o el aislamiento social con un mayor riesgo de muerte prematura y otros resultados de salud. Pero pocos, si es que hay alguno, investigaron cómo estas asociaciones dependen del impacto combinado de diferentes tipos de interacción social, según un nuevo estudio publicado el jueves en la revista BMC Medicine.“Examinamos dos tipos diferentes de soledad y tres tipos diferentes de aislamiento social… y encontramos que cada uno de ellos estaba asociado con un mayor riesgo de morir”, dijo Hamish Foster, primer autor del estudio e investigador clínico en la Escuela de Salud y Bienestar de la Universidad de Glasgow en Escocia, durante una rueda ...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:26:10 GMT

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — A U.N. report paints a stark picture of the devastation of the collapse of the Palestinian economy after a month of war and Israel’s near-total siege of Gaza.The gross domestic product shrank 4% in the West Bank and Gaza in the war’s first month, sending over 400,000 people into poverty — an economic impact unseen in the conflicts Syria and Ukraine, or any previous Israel-Hamas war, the U.N. said.Hamas militants, who rule Gaza, launched a surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7 killing over 1,400 people, mainly civilians, and kidnapping about 240 others. More than two-thirds of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million have fled their homes since Israel launched weeks of intense airstrikes followed by an ongoing ground operation, vowing to obliterate Hamas. The Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza said Thursday that 10,818 Palestinians, including more than 4,400 children, have been killed so far.The rapid assessment of economic consequences of the Gaza war released Thursday by...

UK economy escapes summer contraction, just about

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:26:10 GMT

The U.K. economy stagnated in the third quarter as the Bank of England’s interest rate increases hit the property market hard. Gross domestic product, which measures the total value of goods and services produced by the economy, was flat in the three months through September from the second quarter, the Office for National Statistics said on Friday. That was a slowdown from growth of 0.2 percent in the spring quarter but marginally better than market expectations for a 0.1 percent decline.The figures were dominated by a 1.6 drop in activity related to the property market, as mortgage lending retreated to pandemic-era levels in response to the highest interest rates in 15 years.Somewhat surprisingly, in the light of recent developments, there were no revisions to figures for the previous two quarters. As such, GDP at the end of September was 0.6 percent higher than a year earlier.The Bank’s latest forecasts for the U.K. economy, published last week, indicate that growth w...

AI ‘Tom Cruise’ joins fake news barrage targeting Olympics

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:26:10 GMT

In a dramatic voiceover interspersed with footage of International Olympic Committee chief Thomas Bach, Hollywood A-lister Tom Cruise warns that “corrupt officials” are “slowly and painfully destroying the Olympic sports that have existed for thousands of years.”The bizarre revelation comes as part of a purported four-part Netflix documentary series, “Olympics Has Fallen,” alleging corruption at the heart of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).Just one big problem: The entire thing is fake.No such Netflix documentary series exists, and Cruise’s voice has been generated using artificial intelligence. The slickly edited nine-minute episodes are part of what the IOC on Thursday called an “organised disinformation campaign” against it.“The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has recently been faced with a number of fake news posts targeting the IOC,” the Olympic body’s statement reads, including “an entire documentary produced with defamatory content, a fake narrative and false ...
