|
|
A new IHPI policy brief summarizes the work of a team of members led by Michael Sjoding, M.D., M.Sc., associate professor of internal medicine, to test the accuracy of pulse oximeter devices in Black people compared to white people.
The team first published its findings suggesting the devices are less accurate at measuring the blood oxygen levels of Black patients in late 2020, in the New England Journal of Medicine.

There are 800,000 myocardial infarctions in the United States annually, and those with periodontal disease are at increased risk for hospitalization after a heart attack. A study co-authored by Romesh Nalliah, D.D.S., M.H.C.M., clinical professor of dentistry, found that patients who had heart attacks and received periodontal care had the shortest length of stay in the hospital, and more follow-up visits. The findings add weight to an understanding of the association between oral health and overall health.

New results from the University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging show that 70% of people over 50 experience joint pain at least occasionally, and 60% have been told they have some form of arthritis. Nearly half of those with arthritis symptoms said they have pain every day, and about half of those say the pain limits their usual activities.

According to a new University of Michigan study led by Nora Becker, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of internal medicine, the risk of serious financial problems for adults rises directly with the number of chronic health conditions they have. After reviewing nearly 3 million privately insured individuals, the research team found that the more of these conditions someone had, the higher their odds of being late on credit payments, having poor credit scores, having a collection agency get involved in debts from unpaid medical or other bills, or going through bankruptcy.
