  • New blood test could revolutionise dementia diagnoses
    2025/02/01
    A new blood test is being trialed in the UK to detect the early signs of dementia. It is hoped it could identify patients sooner, so they can potentially benefit from drugs that slow the progression of the disease. With more than 400,000 Australians identified by the Government as living with dementia - and a forecast that those numbers could go up to 900,000 by 2050 - that could be a significant breakthrough.

  • INTERVIEW: How a plan to lose weight left Sarah sick and hospitalised
    2025/01/18
    Sarah Cox was told by her doctor to lose weight because her BMI, or Body Mass Index, was too high. But the consequences of her doctor's weight loss plan left the 35-year-old sick and hospitalised, as she battled an eating disorder for two-and-a-half years. Now, there is renewed scrutiny of the use of B-M-I as a measure of an individual's health. The tool has been used by doctors for more than 50 years to measure an individual's body fat, after it was first created in the 1830s by a Belgian mathematician [[Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet]] who was not a doctor or a health practitioner. More evidence has since emerged about its efficacy - and a group of experts from around the globe are proposing new definitions of obesity that consider a spectrum for how excess fat may or may not impact an individual's health. In this episode of Weekend One on One Catriona Stirrat speaks to Sarah Cox about how her doctor's reliance on BMI led to the frightening deterioration of her mental and physical health - and the changes she is calling for when it comes to improving health care for people with larger bodies.

    2025/01/16
    Around 100,000 Australians live with myelofibrosis, which is a rare form of blood cancer. Treating the condition is difficult - anaemia is a common side effect.
