A healthy environment means a healthier future.

Women and children are especially vulnerable to air pollution, second-hand smoke, and environmental hazards. Smoking and smokeless tobacco remain major preventable causes of cancer.

This World No Tobacco Day, let us “unmask the appeal” by spreading awareness about the harmful effects of cigarettes, vaping, hookah, smokeless tobacco, and nicotine products.

Choose Health. Choose Freedom. Choose Life.

DYK: 'Ever-married status may serve as a useful social indicator for cancer risk stratification and prevention.'

While the study highlights a significant statistical correlation, researchers and public health experts emphasize several crucial points to avoid misinterpretation: Correlation vs. Causation: The study does not suggest that marriage itself is a biological "cure" or a direct preventative measure for cancer. Social & Behavioral Factors: The disparity is likely driven by social and behavioral pathways. Married individuals often benefit from stronger social support systems, economic stability, shared healthier habits (e.g., diet, exercise), and more consistent engagement with healthcare (screening, timely medical attention). Selection Bias: Experts note that healthier individuals—or those with more social resources—may be more likely to marry in the first place, which is a factor the researchers acknowledged. Targeted Prevention: The authors conclude that marital status is a useful "social stratifier" that public health officials can use to identify populations that may need more targeted outreach, cancer education, and access to screenings.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)—recently recognized globally as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS)—is a common hormonal and metabolic disorder.

It is characterized by high androgen levels, irregular ovulation (or absent periods), and systemic metabolic disruptions. It is a leading cause of infertility.

What do you think of this trend. Should testing before marraige be mandatory or opportunistic?
