Spencer, whose family history includes kidney failure, emphasized how the condition typically shows no symptoms until it's advanced. Vergara <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health-news/octavia-spencer-sofia-vergara-kidney-warning?utm_source=renewal-weekly.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=issue-9-star-studded-warning" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration: none; color: #1F2937; border-bottom: 2px solid #8B5CF6; padding-bottom: 1px; font-style: normal;">will highlight</a> the particular risk for Hispanic Americans, who develop kidney disease at rates <strong>35% higher</strong> than other groups.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 8px 0;"><strong style="font-size: 18px; display: block; margin: 16px 0 8px 0;">The hidden threat</strong></p><p style="margin: 0 0 8px 0;">Chronic kidney disease damages the organs' ability to filter waste and excess fluid from blood. Early stages often produce zero symptoms, earning it the nickname "silent killer." By the time people notice swelling, fatigue, or changes in urination, kidney function may already be severely compromised.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 8px 0;">The timing isn't coincidental. March marks National Kidney Month, and both actresses have personal connections to the cause. Spencer's grandmother required dialysis, while Vergara has advocated for kidney health awareness in Latino communities for years.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 8px 0;">Simple blood and urine tests can detect kidney problems before symptoms appear.

Men face a <strong>63%</strong> higher risk of death compared to women across all causes. Heart disease tops the gap at 96% higher risk, followed by diabetes at 90% and cancer at 68%.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 16px 0;">NCI researchers analyzed data from over 600,000 adults and <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2844568?utm_source=renewal-weekly.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=issue-9-star-studded-warning" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration: none; color: #1F2937; border-bottom: 2px solid #8B5CF6; padding-bottom: 1px; font-style: normal;">found</a> that biology accounts for part of the disparity.

Stress, chronic overwork, and cultural norms that tell men to tough it out compound the physiological vulnerability and accelerate aging. A significant portion of this mortality gap is avoidable.</p></div></div><div class="rw-section" style="border: 1px solid #E5E7EB; border-radius: 12px; padding: 24px; margin-bottom: 16px; background: #FFFFFF;

FALSE - Multiple protein sources, leafy greens, and fortified foods also help maintain bone density. Calcium comes from diverse sources beyond milk. 2. FALSE - Regular exercise, maintaining healthy weight, and proper nutrition can significantly reduce arthritis risk and progression. 3. FALSE - Weight-bearing exercises like walking, dancing, and light resistance training actually strengthen bones and improve joint flexibility. 4. FALSE - Both are crucial. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, making them equally important for bone health. 5.
