DAILY'S QUOTES

HEALTHY AND BRIEFS

DRINKING HABITS LINKED TO VIOLENCE

• Men's and women's drinking habits could provide hints about their risk of being in a violent relationship, a new study suggests. Men who regularly drank at parties at their friend's houses were more likely to be violent towards their partners, researchers found.

WEIGHT LOSS TIED TO KNEE BENEFITS

• Intensive weight loss together with regular exercise did more to ease knee arthritis than exercise alone for overweight and obese adults in a new US study. Knee inflammation, pain and functioning all improved among people who cut back on calories in addition to working out, researchers found.

AMERICANS GO FOR SOLO EXERCISE

• Exercise trends come and go as step aerobics yield to interval training, weight machines are tossed for medicine balls, and Pilates falls in and out of fashion. But when it comes to exercise habits, Americans say they prefer to stick to what's simple, solo and short. 

BREASTFEEDING WORRIES NEW MUMS

• During their child's first two months of life, most new mothers have concerns about breastfeeding that make them consider giving up and switching to formula. A new study found that 92% of mothers surveyed when their baby was three days old were duely worried.

PROCEDURE MAY REDUCE STROKE RISK

• A heart procedure may be an effective alternative for treating atrial fibrillation, an abnormal heart rhythm that is the leading cause of strokes in the US, suggests a large new study. In a group of 38,000 people, researchers compared individuals with similar stroke risk profiles, and found that those who underwent the catheter ablation procedure fared better than those on medications alone over three years. -- Reuters
