Increased Screen Time Linked to 21% Higher Myopia Risk
A new study reveals that each extra hour spent daily on digital screens increases myopia risk by 21%, according to a meta-analysis of 45 studies involving 335,524 children and adolescents; researchers warn that by 2050 nearly half the world's population may suffer from myopia.

Maternal Smoking: Sons Face Higher Long-Term Health Risks
A study of 500,000 individuals found that sons of women who smoked during pregnancy face increased health risks, particularly shortened lifespans if they also smoke, compared to daughters; researchers call for improved smoking cessation counseling.
