Earlier this year, the latest U.S. Latino GDP Report from UCLA and Cal Lutheran revealed that the direct economic output of the country’s Latino population exceeded $4 trillion for the first time. Now, new findings from the research team that a quarter of that came from Latinos in one state: California. The California Latino GDP Report shows that the state’s Latino GDP surpassed $1 trillion in 2023.

About The Study: In this cohort and nested case-control study among CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults; a prospective study) participants, moderate to vigorous–intensity physical activity (MVPA) declined from early adulthood to midlife then plateaued, with notable demographic differences; cases experienced steep declines before cardiovascular disease (CVD), and gaps compared to controls persisted afterward. Black women had the lowest MVPA across adulthood and the highest risk of low MVPA post-CVD, underscoring the need to support lifelong physical activity and address group differences.

A new study from the University of Georgia found that even unenforced, or “toothless,” compulsory voting laws can increase voter turnout.

Early language development is key to later communication skills, social interaction, and academic success. A new meta-analysis by the University of Zurich has found that, on average, preterm infants show weaker language abilities than full-term children in the first 18 months of life.

Researchers have launched a new open-source MATLAB toolbox that generates synthetic networks with built-in vital nodes, providing a standardized benchmark for accurate influential-node detection in epidemic control, power-grid resilience, and social media analysis.
