A study conducted by MacEwan University examined the impact of political democracy on cancer risk in 170 countries. Contrary to expectations, the overall incidence of cancer was not lower in democratic countries. However, among children and adolescents, cancer mortality rates and leukemia incidence were lower in democratic countries in some models. The study suggests that economic policy may be an important consideration for preventing cancer. It is important to note that longitudinal analysis was not possible for these data, which should be taken into account when interpreting the findings. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at the Islamia University of Bahawalpur in Pakistan examined the access to water, food, and nutrition programs among marginalized communities in Southern Punjab. The study found that 90% of households experienced moderate-to-severe water insecurity, and 73% faced moderate-to-severe food insecurity. These insecurities were positively correlated with each other and were associated with higher levels of perceived stress. The study also highlighted the impact of colonial and post-colonial policies, which have resulted in water injustice, supply issues, and corruption in water administration. The researchers concluded that addressing the macro-political and economic causes of undernutrition should be prioritized to improve nutrition security in Pakistan. [Extracted from the article]
