A Swedish study of over 1 million fathers (2003–2021) finds that while pregnancy and early postpartum lower risk, diagnoses for depression and stress-related disorders rise by more than 30% toward the end of the first year after a child’s birth, then level off about a year later. The findings underscore the importance of screening and supporting fathers’ mental health, a need often overlooked compared with mothers.

A pilot study at the University of Illinois Chicago suggests that dads can also develop postpartum depression and should be screened for it. The study found that a third of the 24 dads screened tested positive for postpartum depression or suicidal ideation. Additionally, a study in JAMA suggests that an individual's waist-to-hip ratio is a better predictor of mortality than body mass index (BMI). Researchers found that the waist-to-hip ratio had the strongest association with mortality, regardless of BMI. Furthermore, researchers from the UK found that common conditions such as high blood pressure, respiratory tract infection, heart conditions, and ear, nose, and throat infections precede the diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, suggesting that an uptick in these conditions could prompt concern about diabetes and lead to earlier diagnosis. Lastly, a study in Neurology suggests that both high and low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the "good" kind, are associated with a small increased risk of dementia in older adults.
