We're all living longer, but longevity increases not benefiting everybody
Dec. 14, 2012 ? Global lifespans have risen dramatically in the past 40 years, but the increased life expectancy is not benefiting everybody equally, say University of Toronto researchers. In particular, adult males from low- and middle-income countries are losing ground.
People are living longer on average than they were in 1970, and those extra years of life are being achieved at lower cost, the researchers, led by U of T Chemical Engineering PhD candidate Ryan Hum, say in a paper published in the open access science journal eLife this month.
However, the costs for an extra year of life among adult males in lower-income countries are rising, Hum and his colleagues say, while the costs for an extra year of life among children worldwide and for adults in high-income countries continues to drop.
Hum, who is also a member of U of T's Centre for Global Engineering, co-wrote the paper with Professors Yu-Ling Cheng, director of the Centre, Prabhat Jha of the Dalla Lana School of Public Health and Anita McGahan of the Rotman School of Management.
The researchers made the discovery when they took the Michaelis-Menten (MM) equation - a well-known mathematical model first used to analyze enzyme kinetics in 1913 - and applied it to adult and child mortality at different incomes. They reasoned that just as chemical catalysts affect enzyme velocity; the public health catalysts react with income to affect life expectancy.
"We noticed the similarity in the curvature and became fascinated with the beauty of the analogy," said Hum. The MM equation is standard curriculum for biochemistry, biology and most chemical engineering undergraduate students and we knew there could be added knowledge that we could decipher purely from the math."
"Over the past few decades, research and development of new technologies (drugs, vaccines, policies) have focused mostly on childhood and infectious disease, with fewer worldwide investments for adult chronic diseases," the U of T researchers suggest. "Increasing coverage of inexpensive health interventions such as immunization, insecticide-treated nets, and case management of childhood infections could be contributing to decline in critical income for child survival."
Hum and his colleagues conclude by recommending that society invest in research and treatment of adult chronic disease, most notably the control of smoking and other risk factors for chronic diseases, and low-cost, widely useful treatments for these diseases.
In the paper, "Global divergence in critical income for adult and childhood survival: analyses of mortality using Michaelis-Menten," the authors expand on the analogy between enzymes and incomes: "Income directly enables certain technologies, immunization programs, epidemiological knowledge, education, and sanitation systems and other areas, which may themselves be interpreted as 'catalysts' - agents that accelerate the rate of a reaction without being fully consumed in the process," they write.
They came up with a new parameter, critical income, which they define as the level of income needed to achieve half of the maximal overall life expectancy found in high-income countries. For example, in 1970, the critical income for overall life expectancy (in inflation adjusted 2005 dollars) was $1.48 per day. By the year 2007, the critical income had fallen to $1.21 per day. In other words, a lower national income is needed to achieve a higher life expectancy now, compared to 40 years ago.
However, that good news is due mostly to improvements in children's health and to increased life expectancy in high-income countries, the researchers say. For adults (aged 15 to 59) in lower-income countries, critical income has actually risen since 1970. In other words, adults in low- and middle-income countries need to have higher incomes on average in order to add an extra year of life. Adult males in these countries are especially affected, though adult females also suffer.
"Under the current conditions, an approximate national income per capita of $2.20 per day would be required in 2007 to attain the same achievable adult male survival rate with $1.25 per day in 1970. Moreover, should the critical income costs for adults continue to rise (in line with current trends)," they warn.
Hum and his colleagues noted that increases in smoking, especially among adult males, and HIV prevalence are responsible for part of the life expectancy gap. By contrast, worldwide attention to childhood health including much research on new technologies, vaccines and political attention mean a rosier future for children - it's becoming less expensive to give children the chance for longer lives.

A Roadside Ranch With A Sweet Lesson ? News Watch
Could you slaughter a chicken? It?s a question I?ve occasionally thought about, curious if I?d have the stomach to procure my own protein. Every so often, budding farmers at Pie Ranch in Pescadero, California just off Highway 1 will show you how, and offer some other lessons about food origins. Fresh local pie is the main draw at the 25-acre facility?which is, appropriately, shaped like two giant pie wedges?but budding farmers also grow and harvest many of the things you?d find on your table, from beef to wheat to butter and honey.
I was hardly the first person to pull over, drawn in by the large ?PIE? signs a mile out (strictly on business, of course). Thousands of students, fruit buyers, and curious tourists visit the ranch each year for workshops on food-making the old fashioned way. ?We want to teach people how to grow all these things, and let them see where it all comes from,? farming apprentice Nichole Mikaelian told me when I stopped in. She also mentioned a monthly barn dance, fiddle and all.
As for the the slaughter workshop, unfortunately for me?but luckily for the chicken?I missed it by one week.

DEERFIELD, Il. (December 11, 2012)Inexpensive, locally-produced ceramic cookstoves may produce less smoke than traditional indoor 3-stone firepits, but they don't significantly reduce indoor air pollution or the risk of pneumonia in young children, according to results from a small, year-long observational study by researchers working in rural Kenya.
The findings, published online today in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, are the first to examine the health impacts of ceramic cookstoves that do not vent smoke to the outside of the house, said Robert Quick, MD, MPH, a researcher in the Division of Waterborne, Foodborne, and Enteric Diseases at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Women who used the ceramic stoves (called "upesi jiko," which is Swahili for "quick stove") reported less smoke in their homes, along with fewer stinging eyes and runny noses. However, the study found that even though there were fewer respiratory symptoms, these stoves only reduced air pollution by 13 percent and there was no significant difference in pneumonia among children under 3 years of age in these homes when compared to those in homes with 3-stone firepits.
Women and their young children bear the brunt of health problems caused by cooking indoors, in inadequately vented spaces, over open fires fueled by unprocessed wood, charcoal or other biomass.
"Despite requiring less fuel, these stoves may not be efficient enough," Quick said. "The belief is that you need much more efficiency, maybe a reduction of 50 percent or more, to really observe the health benefits," he added.
Pneumonia is the leading cause of death for children under 5 years of age in developing countries, with nearly 70 percent of these 1.2 million deaths occurring in Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Research has found household air pollution can increase the risk of pneumoniaa 2008 study found that exposure to this type of pollution from burning solid fuel nearly doubled the risk of pneumonia in young children. Very small particles and toxic gases in indoor smoke can inflame the airways and lungs.
Cleaner burning cookstoves are thought to be one way to reduce harmful household air pollution. The Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, one of the most prominent public-private partnerships in this area of public health, has raised US $114 million in its goal to put 100 million new stoves into households in the developing world by 2020.
"This support of improved cookstoves is exactly what we need to be seeing on this front, but we also need to be sure that the improved cookstoves are actually improving the air quality in a way that reduces health risks too," Quick added. "There is currently a lot of research activity into the design of cleaner burning cookstoves, including by the Kenya Medical Research Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
At the same time, there is limited evidence that the cookstoves they evaluated can yield health benefits, according to Quick and his colleagues from the Emory University School of Medicine, Kenya's Safe Water and AIDS Project, the Kenya Medical Research Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Methodology
For one year, Quick and his colleagues followed the health of children under 3 years of age in 20 villages in the Nyando District of Kenya's Nyanza Province, which were already participating in a water quality study.
Since 2008, households in the district have been able to purchase locally produced upesi jiko stoves, sold at a cost of about 150? Kenya shillings or US $2-3. The researchers looked at how rates of cough, pneumonia, and severe pneumonia differed among the infants, and whether these differences were related to upesi jiko or traditional firepit cooking. The cases of pneumonia were diagnosed by fieldworkers trained to recognize familiar signs of the illness, such as a cough combined with a specific rapid breathing rate, but the cases were not confirmed by x-rays or other objective tests.
The stoves study also was not a randomized controlled trial, Quick noted. The number of homes in the study was relatively small. Also, he and his colleagues found there were lower rates of coughing and pneumonia in households with cell phones, a pattern that is consistent with other studies showing that wealthier householdsperhaps due to factors such as better access to health carehave a lower risk of the disease. Future randomized studies that include more households and stoves that burn more cleanly, he said, will help clarify whether improved stoves can really make a difference in children's respiratory health.
Building a Cleaner Cooking Stove
The Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves and the World Health Organization are also evaluating six other cookstove technologies in a separate study, to find out which designs produce the least pollution, Quick said. "Even though a stove might appear to be burning efficiently, you don't necessarily remove the key exposures associated with pneumonia."
The locally-made ceramic cookstoves in the Kenyan study are built into a matrix of mud and sand in the homes and draw air in through a small hole in the side to deliver heat up to a burner surface. The upesi jiko stoves are somewhat more efficient than 3-stone firepits and require less wood or other fuel for cooking.
Better Health Through Home Improvement?
"There is a real demand for upesi jiko stoves and I think that just reflects that the reality of using a three-stone firepit is not very pleasant," said Quick. "If you've ever been in any of these huts while people are cooking, there's this choking smoke in the household."
Along with reducing smoke, the upesi jiko cooked faster and gave women more space for food preparation. Quick said that health researchers and global partnerships should pay more attention to these kinds of details as they strive to find ways to reduce household air pollution. "The more we're meeting the actual demands of these mothers, the better we'll do."
"This research on cookstoves illustrates that the approach to improving children's health must employ strategies that take a holistic view of the child, one that includes the home," said David H. Walker, MD, the new president of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and chair of the department of pathology at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. "Data from this and further studies will help aid programs make evidence-based decisions as they determine where to allocate their increasingly scarce funds."
In the end, cost may be still a significant factor in adopting cleaner cookstoves. The upesi jiko stoves "are relatively cheap, around $3, but even this small cost is beyond the reach of many people who typically earn US $1-2 per day," Quick explained. According to the study, despite the active marketing and availability of this stove, most households didn't have one.
"Based on our findings in Kenya, the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves may want to explore various optionsincluding subsidiesfor improving access to clean burning, safe cookstoves by the poorest households where children are at greatest risk of pneumonia," Quick added.

Chavez says cancer back, plans surgery
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced Saturday night that his cancer has returned and that he will undergo another surgery in Cuba.
Chavez, who won re-election on Oct. 7, also said for the first time that if his health were to worsen, his successor would be Vice President Nicolas Maduro.
"We should guarantee the advance of the Bolivarian Revolution," Chavez said on television, seated at the presidential palace with Maduro and other aides.
The president said that tests had shown a return of "some malignant cells" in the same area where tumors were previously removed.
"I need to return to Havana tomorrow," Chavez said, adding that he would undergo surgery in the coming days.
Chavez called it a "new battle." It is to be his third operation to remove cancerous tissue in about a year and a half.
The 58-year-old president first underwent cancer surgery for an unspecified type of pelvic cancer in Cuba in June 2011, after an operation for a pelvic abscess earlier in the month found the cancer. He had another cancer surgery last February after a tumor appeared in the same area. He has also undergone chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Chavez said tests immediately after his re-election win had shown no sign of cancer. But he said he had swelling and pain, which he thought was due to "the effort of the campaign and the radiation therapy treatment."
"It's a very sensitive area, so we started to pay a lot of attention to that," he said, adding that he had reduced his public appearances.
Chavez made his most recent trip to Cuba on the night of Nov. 27, saying he would receive hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Such treatment is regularly used to help heal tissues damaged by radiation treatment.
Chavez said that he has been coping with pain and that while he was in Cuba thorough exams detected the recurrence of cancer.
He arrived back in Caracas on Friday after 10 days of medical treatment in Cuba, but until Saturday night had not referred to his health. His unexplained decision to skip a summit of regional leaders in Brazil on Friday had raised suspicions among many Venezuelans that his health had taken a turn for the worse.
Chavez said that he was requesting permission from lawmakers to travel to Havana.
"I hope to give you all good news in the coming days," said Chavez, who held up a crucifix and expressed faith.

Life at C-level: too many chiefs?
The Monitor?s language columnist looks at the proliferation of 'C-level' job titles.
Paging through a national magazine the other day, I was surprised to see a smiling full-color picture of someone I know ? sort of. I get newsletters published in his name. So maybe he's not really that close a friend.

In any case, his image appeared in an ad for teleconferencing software. And he was identified as "CMO" of his own company. "Chief meeting officer," perhaps? Not quite: It was "chief marketing officer."
My first response was an editor's quibble: A title worth having is worth spelling out. My second response was to consider just how many different words fit nowadays between "chief" and "officer" on people's business cards.
There's even an umbrella abbreviation for all these terms: CxO, where the "x" is a generic placeholder. Wordspy.com traces "CxO" back to 1997, citing a publisher launching a new website meant to help executives make sense of what was then a new phenomenon, the World Wide Web: "Our goal ... is to become the destination website for senior managers. We know that executives at the 'CxO' level ? CEOs, COOs, and CFOs ? are venturing out onto the Web."
The idea of corporate executives only just "venturing out onto the Web" sounds a bit quaint. So does the idea that the "C-suite" consists only of chief executives, chief operating officers, and chief financial officers.
In his Word Spy piece, Paul McFedries lists dozens of "CxO" titles, otherwise known as "C-level" positions. Many sound familiar. Others make one think that whoever holds the job in question will have some explaining to do at Thanksgiving dinner.
With so many corporate reporting requirements built into federal regulations, companies have "chief compliance officers." To signal that they really do "get" that their people are their most important asset, some companies have "chief talent officers." And with companies showing that they truly have "got religion" on the need for innovation and creativity, we see "chief imagination officers" ? even "chief evangelistic officers."
"Chief chocolate officer" also made the Word Spy list. But it turns out to be a marketing trick from Mars (Mars the candy company, not Mars the planet). "Ms. Brown," a personification of brown M&Ms, starred in a 2012 Super Bowl commercial.
The online publication Knowledge@Wharton, from the University of Pennsylvania's business school, ran an article a few years ago titled "Chief Receptionist Officer? Title Inflation Hits the C-Suite." It compared corporate title inflation to grade inflation in classrooms. But it went on to quote Betsey Stevenson, a Wharton professor of business and public policy, explaining why today's companies, with their relatively "flat" hierarchies, resort to creative titling: to reward employees they want to keep. "People want to be distinguished in some way from everyone else," she said, "but in a flat organization there is less hierarchy and therefore less opportunity to be distinguished."
All these chiefs, not so many Indians!
Titling can help communicate an organization's values. But there's a counterargument that assigning any particular activity to a "chief (whatever) officer" removes it from the portfolio of everyone else. Does calling one person, say, "chief ethics officer," signal a serious corporate commitment to ethics ? or just let everyone else off the hook?
As for this CxO formula: It's what's in the middle of the sandwich that matters, and sometimes it's baloney.

PlayStation 3 DLC for Skyrim close: Bethesda - Video Games - Digit
Bethesda has finally announced that PS3 users will finally be getting DLC content for their hit RPG, Skyrim.
The fact that no DLC content was released for Skyrim (along with the many problems PS3 owners have faced and are still facing) has been pointed out more times than it should have been, Bethesda finally updated their Twitter feed regarding the situation.
Dragonborn, the new DLC for PS3 owners, was teased and announced earlier this week and the trailer was released this Monday on Bethesda?s YouTube channel. The tweet read, ?We?re also close on new Skyrim content for the PS3 and PC.? which is vague but it?s still something for PS3 owners who are still hopeful. PS3 owners received neither the Dawnguard nor the Hearthfire DLC yet and have not been given any indication as to a set release date for either.
Dragonborn was discovered back in October by Skyrim?s PC players, who found files associated to words like ?Dragonborn? and ?DLC2? and revealed that the DLC would actually have dragon riding action and feature locations from Morrowind, which does indeed exist in Skyrim?s open world but has been inaccessible so far.
The files suggested various new quests and armor types and also the ability for players to be able to cast spells while on their dragons. Zenimax, Bethesda?s parent company has also filled a trademark for Dragonborn under downloadable computer game software.
While Dragonborn was originally expected to release only for PC owners, the recent update has left PS3 owners with their fingers crossed. Hopefully this time Bethesda will come through for them despite failing them many a time before.

SFO expecting major developments in Libor probe
LONDON (Reuters) - The Serious Fraud Office said on Friday it expected significant developments in its investigations into the rigging of Libor interest rates in the near future.
The government department said in July it could prosecute banks for rigging Libor and related interest rates but had yet to decide whether to bring charges.
Citing an unnamed source, news agency Bloomberg reported on Friday that British prosecutors were set to arrest former traders and rate setters at Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland and UBS within a month.
The SFO said its investigation into the affair, in which banks allegedly manipulated the London Interbank Offered Rate, involved "a number of financial institutions".
Barclays, RBS and UBS declined to comment.
The SFO declined to comment on the specific timeline of any arrests or on the identity of the institutions or individuals involved.
Arrests in the UK are made early in investigations, allowing people, who may not be charged, to be questioned under caution.
RBS said earlier this month it was likely be fined by British and U.S. authorities for its part in the scandal and wanted a settlement as soon as possible.
The bank has dismissed a number of employees for misconduct after its own investigations.
Barclays was fined 290 million pounds for manipulating Libor, one of a number of scandals which have rocked the industry. More than a dozen other banks are under investigation.
Reuters reported in July European regulators and U.S. prosecutors were close to arresting individual traders in connection with the affair.
