Obesity, but not overweight, is associated with poorer working memory in women.

Epidemiologic data indicate that shorter sleep duration (≤5 hours per night) is associated with lower bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.

Fremanezumab was found to be effective and well-tolerated in patients with migraine who have failed to respond to prior preventive treatment.
