To clarify the role of genetic factors in aging and longevity some clinical and genealogical characteristics of different age groups (54 patients of both sexes) were studied; 34 of them were long livers (>90y) and 20 - the elderly (70-90y). Clinical and laboratory investigations were provided according to WHO experts recommendations. Total content of Cholesterol and Triglycerides was assessed by the enzyme-measuring method. Based on the genealogical questionnaire methods, the data concerning morbidity, mortality, health status and CVD were collected about 206 people (in total) including the parents and siblings of the patients. The long-livers' fathers were found to live longer than the fathers of the elderly that confirms the idea of paternal-line inheritance of life longevity. The male longlivers' fathers live 10 years longer, than female longlivers' fathers (P<0,05). Maternal line doesn't influence on the longevity. We also noticed genealogical relation between health status of longlivers (absence of cardiovascular diseases) and genealogical anamnesis of their parents. The stability of lipid metabolism was observed in longlivers and the elderly that was confirmed by the low amount of total Cholesterol being lower in the longlivers. In both groups the correlation between the total Cholesterol content and the percentage of CVD cases was observed. Proceeding from the above, we can confirm the important role of genetic factors to reach the long age.

To achieve 'Sustainable Healthy Diets', it is critical to address the observed gender discrepancy in meal preparation time allocation. Japanese fathers spend significantly less time on food-related housework (foodwork) than mothers. This study aimed to investigate the association between fathers' childhood meal preparation experiences and their current cooking skills in preparing healthy meals for their children, as well as their involvement in foodwork in Japan.

Obesity is a multifactorial disease present worldwide and correlated with hormonal alterations that may cause a decrease in reproductive outcomes and seminal quality. However, the specific mechanisms involved are unknown. This led us to examine the relationship between paternal body mass index (BMI) and clinical reproductive outcomes by evaluating the cumulative live birth rates (CLBRs) per number of embryo transfers (ETs), embryos replaced (EmbRs), and oocytes used (OUs) in consecutive treatments until achieving the first newborn.

Article Synopsis
- Stillbirth significantly affects parents psychologically, often leading them to fear and anxiety when they have another baby after experiencing such loss.
- A study involving interviews with six couples revealed four main themes: the intense emotions surrounding the hope of bringing a live baby home, feeling overwhelmed by newborn demands, navigating complex feelings about both stillborn and living children, and managing parenting fears.
- The findings highlight the emotional challenges in bonding with a subsequent baby and suggest that healthcare professionals should receive better training to support these families effectively.
