European governments are working with the United States on plans to overhaul the World Health Organization (WHO), a top health official for a European country has reportedly claimed.

An estimated 1.7 billion people, 22 percent of the global population, have at least one underlying health condition that could increase their risk of severe illness if infected with the coronavirus, according to a modelling study that uses data from 188 countries.

A new study suggests that high blood levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL), often described as ‘good’ cholesterol, are associated with an increased risk of heart attacks.

Coronavirus patients with underlying conditions are more likely to suffer major complications, a new report has found.

Compared to patients without high blood pressure, patients with high blood pressure have a two-fold increased risk of dying from the coronavirus, according to new research.
