Come clean to your doc, or you could risk more than a red face. Many patients see no harm in fibbing about whether or not they smoke, take vitamins or how much they drink. But this information should not be left out. In particular, women who do not tell their doctors that they smoke rob themselves of an accurate determination of their risk of blood clots. Doctors who know that their female patients smoke tend to recommend lower-risk methods of contraception, such as diaphragms and IUDs.

Coinciding with the first week of summer, a study published today underscores the importance of getting adequate amounts of sunlight for its vitamin D-boosting benefits. The research, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, shows that those with the lowest vitamin D levels have more than double the risk of dying from heart disease and other causes over an eight-year period compared with those with the highest vitamin D levels. The researchers cite "decreased outdoor activity" as one reason that people may become deficient in vitamin D

Plasma 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels and Risk of Incident Hypertension

medal submitted, created time 1 year 5 months (hyper.ahajournals.org)

"Among women, the same comparison yielded a relative risk of 2.67 (95% CI: 1.05 to 6.79). The pooled relative risk combining men and women with measured 25(OH)D levels using the random-effects model was 3.18 (95% CI: 1.39 to 7.29). Using predicted 25(OH)D levels in the larger cohorts, the multivariable relative risks comparing the lowest to highest deciles were 2.31 (95% CI: 2.03 to 2.63) in men and 1.57 (95% CI: 1.44 to 1.72) in women. Plasma 25(OH)D levels are inversely associated with risk of incident hypertension. "
