More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On
We need to prioritise nature even if there are other conflicting interests – biodiversity is essential to all of us on the planet and ultimately to our health and wellbeing.

Efforts to understand whether someone is lying often focus on how the person talks. New research suggests it could be promising to also examine how someone writes. This is according to Kajsa Gullberg, researcher in general linguistics, who hopes that her thesis can provide insights into people’s complex language skills.
