Inflammation, considered a hallmark of aging, may not be a universal human experience, but may be a byproduct of industrialised lifestyles. A new study did not detect increased inflammation with age in Indigenous, non-industrialised populations and chronic age-related diseases were also minimal.

Women who reported even a little criticism from a spouse, child, or friend were more likely to experience depression. For men, only those who reported a lot of criticism seemed to be at increased risk. This suggests that older women may be more sensitive to negative feedback in close relationships.

Personality plays a role in whether you believe in climate change, Dalhousie study finds. Climate skeptics more likely to rank higher on spectrum of narcissism, machiavellianism and psychopathy — traits that reflect a tendency to be self-centred, manipulative, callous and socially aversive.
