BOSTON -- Health workers may be able to reduce the number of infants deaths by making regular visits before and after a women gives birth, according to doctors at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

Researchers examined a program of first-time mothers who are at high risk. The risk factors included being under 18, unmarried and having low-income.

According to the study, the infants who did not receive at-home care were 2.5 times as likely as others to die during their first year of life.

The infants died from premature birth, labor complications infection or injury, according to researchers.

Women's Bone Health

There is a warning for women who exercise too much and eat too little. Ohio researchers said women could be damaging their bones.

The researchers examined caloric intake and bone formation in women 18 to 32. They found young women who took in too few calories impaired their bone formation.

Researchers said the implications may be greatest for women who exercise a lot and don't eat enough food.

Male Depression

A new study in the American Journal of Psychiatry found men who have poor relationships with their siblings during childhood are at greater risk of being depressed as adults.

Researchers followed 229 men for more than 30 years and found 26 percent of the men who had destructive relationships with siblings suffered major depression as adults.

Researchers said the findings do not mean that poor sibling relationships cause depression, but the two are strongly connected.
