How incarceration affects mortality — for people both inside and out

How incarceration affects mortality — for people both inside and out

The recent news surrounding the CDC’s chronic disease unit and the proposed budget for 2026 has caused quite a stir in the public health community. Despite the focus on eradicating chronic diseases, the budget includes plans to abolish the CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. This unit will be folded into the Administration for a Healthy America, a new entity that will also absorb other centers under its umbrella. This move has raised concerns about the future of chronic disease prevention work, as the transition to AHA may create more problems than it solves. Experts are unsure of where the programs will resurface and who will be responsible for carrying out the work.

In another development, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has rescinded the Biden administration’s guidance on Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) for pregnant patients. The guidance aimed to ensure that hospitals in states with strict abortion bans would provide appropriate emergency care, including abortion, to pregnant individuals. The decision to rescind this guidance has sparked debate and raised questions about access to emergency care for pregnant patients in states with restrictive abortion laws.

On the medical research front, a study published in Nature Medicine has shed light on the variation in blood sugar levels after meals among individuals. The study found that the response to different foods, such as pasta, potatoes, and bread, was linked to metabolic features like insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction. This research could inform personalized diabetes prevention and treatment plans in the future.

Furthermore, the rising popularity of tests that search for tumor DNA in the blood has caught the attention of cancer researchers. While these tests have the potential to provide valuable information about a patient’s cancer status, experts are cautious about their utility in guiding clinical decisions. The technology’s promise is exciting, but more research is needed to determine its effectiveness in improving patient outcomes.

In a separate study, researchers explored the impact of incarceration on mortality rates for both incarcerated individuals and non-incarcerated residents. The findings revealed that individuals who were incarcerated had a significantly higher risk of dying and dying from an overdose compared to those who were not incarcerated. The study highlights the need for improved healthcare during and after incarceration to address the long-term effects on health and mortality.

Lastly, the importance of retaining international physicians in the United States has been emphasized in a new essay by former HHS secretary Tom Price. With the projected physician shortage in the coming years, retaining talented medical professionals from around the world is crucial. Price calls on Congress to create more flexible visa programs to allow international medical students to practice medicine in the US.

Overall, these recent developments in public health, medical research, and healthcare policy underscore the need for continued research, collaboration, and advocacy to improve health outcomes for all individuals.
