According to a study by Swedish researchers, children who are chronically ill are much more likely than healthy children to be victims of physical abuse.

As life spans continue to increase, so the will risk of dementia in individuals, but new research from Sweden indicates people can minimize this risk.

Although past research has shown that children who grow up poor have an increased risk of developing health problems as adults, a new study has found that there is a good way to counter this.

Insufficient and disorganized sleep puts kids at higher risk of developing obesity and other health conditions, which may be able to be mitigated by "catch up" sleep on weekends and holidays.
