Associations of Depression With C-Reactive Protein, IL-1, and IL-6 : A Meta-Analysis

Journal ArticleDOI

A randomized controlled trial of cognitive training using a visual speed of processing intervention in middle aged and older adults.

TL;DR: Visual speed of processing training delivered on-site or at-home to middle-aged or older adults using standard home computers resulted in stabilization or improvement in several cognitive function tests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI

Tobacco use and exposure in rural areas: Findings from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.

TL;DR: Those living in rural areas are at increased risk for tobacco-related illness due to both their own tobacco use and exposure to others' cigarette smoke, and policies regarding public smoking according to area of residence are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
