Police cancel pride festival after car rams into crowd, leaving several injured
German authorities on Saturday canceled a popular festival after saying that several people had been injured when a car rammed the festivities in Berlin.
"We are currently deployed with numerous police forces as well as rescue units from the Berlin Fire Department in the Großer Tiergarten," Berlin Police said in a translated X post, after telling festivalgoers to leave the area.
Police said the injured were being treated by rescue personnel.
The incident occurred during the European city's annual Christopher Street Day festival, an LGBTQ+ pride event.

"We are conducting an intensive manhunt for suspects," police added.
Authorities haven’t released a possible motive or revealed the severity of the injuries.
Hundreds of thousands of people turned out for the event, which included a parade and ended Saturday evening with a show at Tiergarten park near Brandenberg Gate.
Tour de France rider crashes into the back of support vehicle that slammed on the brakes
The Tour de France wraps up on Sunday, but we didn't get to the finish line without one of the weirdest freak accidents we've seen in a while.
Colombian cyclist Einer Rubio was cruising his way through Stage 19 on Friday, climbing Alpe d'Huez, and riding behind one of the support vehicles.
That always seemed like a good idea to me — let it punch a big ol' hole in the air for you to ride in — but what Rubio didn't account for was that vehicle having to suddenly slam on the brakes as the race made its way along a tight road with spectators on each side.

This, folks, is why you leave a gap to the car in front of you out on the roadways.
I know this isn't the same thing, but it's never a bad time to brush up on road safety.
What you can't see in that clip is that, according to UAE Team Emirates-XRG, it was their car that Rubio crashed into, and it had to slam on the brakes because a spectator fell in front of it.

"A spectator fell forward directly into the path of the car," a team spokesperson said, per The Telegraph. "The car braked to avoid the collision. It was a very unfortunate incident and something nobody wants to see. We wish Einer Rubio a speedy recovery."

Rubio — who was 27th overall in the standings at the time of the incident — was pretty beaten up and needed 20 stitches. He spent an hour in the medical tent and was flown by helicopter to a hospital for further testing.
Here's to a speedy recovery, but whenever I see this sort of thing, my first thought is always, why do they let fans get so close? It has never ended well.
It's not like fans being that close makes you faster. It can only ever cause a wreck because someone fell in front of a support vehicle or some old lady rides her Rascal scooter into the peloton.
Armed man in tactical vest emerges from exploding Queens home before being shot by NYPD officers; 2 found dead
An armed suspect wearing tactical gear emerged from a Queens home moments after a fiery explosion erupted Saturday as New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers responded to a 911 call for shots fired and a man yelling, "kill them, kill them."
Keegan Thompson, 33, was shot by police and arrested following the explosion, according to NYPD Assistant Chief Christopher McIntosh. Authorities later discovered two dead family members inside the home.
Officers responded just after 12 p.m. local time to a home on Ocean Crest Boulevard in Far Rockaway after the caller reported her husband was armed, McIntosh said.
When police arrived, they encountered a woman outside the home who said she had heard gunshots, entered a room and found a body lying on a bed before leaving the house and calling 911. She also warned officers that her husband had a shotgun, officials said.
Officers established a perimeter, requested the NYPD Emergency Service Unit (ESU) and repeatedly attempted to contact the suspect, but were unable to establish communication.
At about 12:15 p.m., as ESU officers prepared to enter, a large explosion erupted from inside the home, McIntosh said.
Fifteen to 20 seconds later, the suspect emerged from the burning home carrying a shotgun while wearing a tactical vest loaded with additional ammunition.
Officers repeatedly ordered the suspect to raise his hands and drop the weapon, police said. When he failed to comply and continued holding the shotgun, an officer fired, striking him.
He was taken into custody, and officers rendered aid before he was taken to Jamaica Hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition.
McIntosh said Thompson has no criminal history or history of mental illness documented by the NYPD.
Officers later found two dead family members inside the home. The victims have not been identified, and investigators are working to determine their causes of death.
As flames engulfed the house, responding officers evacuated neighboring homes to protect nearby residents.
Investigators have not determined what caused the explosion. When asked whether explosives were involved, McIntosh said the investigation remains ongoing.
The shooting was captured on officers' body-worn cameras and is being investigated by the NYPD's Force Investigation Division.
"The bravery of the officers who responded today cannot be overstated," McIntosh said. "They responded to a 911 call not knowing what was waiting for them, and they ran toward the danger with no hesitation."
American cyclist Sepp Kuss narrowly avoids a horrific crash over cliff during Tour de France
Saturday was the penultimate day of the Tour de France, and it almost had what has to be one of the most heart-in-mouth moments the iconic race has seen in years.
And the only reason it didn't was all thanks to a perfectly placed catch fence.
Saturday's Stage 20 took riders along some mountainous roads, and where there are mountains there are often cliffs.
American Sepp Kuss was riding on one of these roads and was actually leading not too far from the end of the stage. He rounded a sweeping corner, but seemed to understeer way too wide and crashed into a low concrete barrier just as the catch fence was ending.

Fortunately, it was there because on the other side of that barrier was one heck of a drop-off.
Wow. I don't know if they stopped that catch fence there because they just figured no one would ever crash any farther than that or if they just ran out of supplies.
Whatever the reason, Kuss has to be thrilled it was there.
Cycling is not for the faint of heart, and there's a good chance that if he had gone over that wall, it would've been over.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
Sure, Kuss would be breathing a sigh of relief that he wasn't tumbling down the side of the French Alps, but it was a rough day at the office for him.
That was actually his second crash of the day, and it was more costly than the first, seeing as, that time, he was able to hang onto the lead.

The second crash? Not so much.
He coughed up the lead and wound up finishing the stage in third.
According to Yahoo Sports, it would've been a big win for Kuss had it happened, as it would've been the first stage win for an American since he won a stage back in 2021.
Singer Zach Top slams modern country music, says it lacks 'soul'
Zach Top is sharing his hot take on modern country music, saying it now sounds "perfect" and lost some of its "soul."
During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the 28-year-old country singer spoke about his new song, "Good Girls & Cowgirls," and why he thinks bluegrass music, which is what he started out playing, is now growing in popularity.
"From my perspective, it’s pretty parallel to the reason that my music is as popular as it is right now," he said. "We had a long time, at least in the country world… everything is really perfect and everything’s tuned. Everything’s pocketed just right. I think some of the soul got left behind in that."
In his opinion, people are now searching for music that is "a little more raw and real again," and that "bluegrass is only that" since when performing that genre, "there's nothing covering you up."
LUKE COMBS’ BRUTAL RESPONSE TO ‘LIBERAL’ LABELS: ‘WHY DO WE ALL CARE?’
He explained that when playing bluegrass, "you better be a bada-- on your instrument and a bada-- singer," citing Tyler Childers and Zach Bryan as two other big country stars today who are embracing a "very real and raw" sound and finding great success with it.
"You’re not trying to chase perfection," he said. "You’re trying to just play good music and put your heart and soul into it. People enjoy that. And that’s what bluegrass has always been to me."
Top is known for playing traditional honky-tonk music and is credited as one of the younger country artists responsible for the resurgence of traditional country music.
He released his first EP in 2022, the same year he made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry. He had his big breakthrough in 2024, with the release of his debut album, "Cold Beer & Country Music."

He found further success in 2025 with the release of his second album, "Ain't In It for My Health," the same year he won ACM New Male Artist of the Year and CMA New Artist of the Year.
"I don't know. I brought a beer up on stage, read between the lines, you know," he said backstage at the CMAs about his celebration plans after the win. "I got a bunch of my road crew here with me, my band. We're gonna go find someplace and knock a few beers back. I'll probably call my family at some point...outside of that, I just hope I can get to bed before 5AM I suppose."
His latest song, "Good Girls & Cowgirls" is set to debut with its official release Aug. 21, along with another new song, "Other Side of Hurtin’."

Although he has two new songs coming out soon, he has yet to confirm a release date for his highly-anticipated third album, telling Rolling Stone, "we don't have the date nailed out," but is hopeful it'll be out sometime in April.
"It’s a goofy, fun song, the dichotomy between what you would call a 'good girl' and a little more the wild side of women," he said of the song. "I think folks will enjoy it. The plan is for it to be on the new record. That’s next spring."
A look at 7 of the worst and most ridiculous takes from Ryan Clark during his time at ESPN
Unless you live under a rock, you’re aware that race-baiting Ryan Clark is no longer with ESPN. Outkick was in the process of breaking the news of his ouster on Monday when ESPN PR pulled him during a commercial break in the midst of NFL Live, while not so slyly trying to get The Athletic to break the story instead. It was a total mess, but nowhere near as bad as some of the things Clark said on air during his tenure at the network.
Buckle your seatbelts and get ready for some of the most unhinged, reckless, divisive, racially-obsessed, and delusional takes you’ll ever hear from a mainstream sports media personality.
As eventual Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders fell all the way to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, sports personalities started crying and claiming racism was the reason for the fall.
Mel Kiper had epic meltdowns on air in defense of Sanders. Skip Bayless made outlandish claims. Then Clark jumped on ESPN and spewed more unfounded claims, focused predominantly on the color of Sanders’ skin, which was a classic move by Clark throughout his time at the "Worldwide Leader in Sports."
"It's not just about him being Deion Sanders' son," Clark stated. "It's about the bravado he carries. It's about the fact that he looks a certain way. It is about the fact that the color of his skin sometimes at the position can be questioned."
SHILO SANDERS MAKES ‘SANDWICH’ COMMENT TO FEMALE UNDER VIDEO CRITICIZING BROTHER SHEDEUR
Following the news that then-University of Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore was fired for having an affair with a female staffer, Clark made the situation about race, as he almost always did.
While on "First Take," Clark made the asinine claim that black coaching candidates would not get hired, or at least have an extremely difficult time being hired, because of Moore’s actions.
"Sherrone Moore was the first African American head coach at Michigan. Now there's a community of coaches who will be judged because of his actions."
In case you forgot, the day Moore was fired, police detained him following an incident at the apartment of his 32-year-old assistant with whom he had an affair, where he allegedly entered, used a telecommunications device maliciously, and threatened self-harm with butter knives.
Suggesting that the actions of one black coach would be used to discriminate in hiring practices in the NCAA, is quite literally saying that the powers that be in these schools are racist, in my opinion. That is a divisive, unfounded claim, rooted in the race obsession.
RYAN CLARK MADE IT TOO DIFFICULT FOR ESPN TO JUSTIFY KEEPING HIM AFTER YEARS OF CONTROVERSY
New England Patriots’ legend Tom Brady is the GOAT. There’s no debating he isn’t the best quarterback in the history of the NFL. That didn’t stop Ryan Clark from diminishing his career accomplishments.
While discussing if Arch Manning was a "generational talent" on First Take, Clark said:
"I don't think Tom Brady, I don't think Drew Brees, I don't think Peyton Manning are generational talents."
Fellow host and former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky pressed Clark on the definition of "generational talent" when Stephen A. Smith chimed in with a definitive, "Production."
Clark wasn’t debating whether Brady was a "generational talent" in college, he stated clearly and plainly that he believed John Elway and Andrew Luck were "generational talents" but refused to give Brady that title.
Clark said many insane things, but outside of the racially-infused talking points he propagated, this may be the worst take of all.
While on NFL Live, with a kyron that read, "Robert Saleh was the only minority to fill any of the 10 head coach openings," Clark invoked the idea that America’s history of prejudice and slavery of black individuals played a factor in no black head coach being hired during the 2026 NFL offseason.
Standing next to former NFL defensive lineman, Marcus Spears, Clark stated, "This isn’t about racism in football, but the history of this country does play a part in [black coaches not being hired]."
Clark went on to discuss how blacks "couldn’t get generational wealth to own a team," which means that owners could only be white, leading to blacks being set back in coaching, because there was a lack of understanding of the "leadership qualities" they possess.
Whether Ryan Clark was overtly talking about slavery, insinuating "systemic racism" as Emmanuel Acho did on his podcast, and/or Jim Crow, Clark was talking out of both sides of his mouth.
FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL SUBPOENAS NFL AS PART OF NEW PROBE INTO ROONEY RULE AND OTHER DEI PROGRAMS
He can’t say "racism isn’t a part of this", but our country’s "history of racism" is a part of this.
It’s a ridiculous take, while also claiming "white privilege" and nepotism of white coaches.
Clark has not shied away from being political on air, as many of these examples prove. One of his more unsavory comments came in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, though.
While on "First Take" in October of 2025, Clark responded to Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry vowing to keep the LSU Athletic Director from hiring the next coach, by first trying to shame him for suggesting the school honor Kirk with a statue on campus.
"First off, it’s the second most ridiculous thing he said this week," Clark said smugly. "The first was standing on campus and saying he wanted to put a statue of somebody (Charlie Kirk) that doesn’t represent the people of Louisiana"
Clark went on to claim that Kirk didn’t represent the athletes at LSU, which seemed to promote the idea that he is talking specifically about the black athletes, insinuating that Kirk was either prejudiced or just plain racist. Either way, it was another insensitive, unfounded claim, invoking race where the conversation didn’t call for it.
One specific incident on air that reportedly played a major factor in Clark’s demise at ESPN, was invoking the idea that one of the networks newest personalities, Peter Schrager should not be taken seriously as an NFL analyst because he’s a "non-player."
Clark prefaced his ridiculous comment on "Get Up" while debating the performance of Dallas Cowboys Wide Receiver Ceedee Lamb vs Philadelphia Eagles Wide Receiver AJ Brown, seated at a studio desk with former players Teddy Bruschi and Dan Orlovsky, as well as Schrager and host, Mike Greenberg stating, "We shouldn’t do this on TV, so I apologize if people think this is rude, that’s the non-player in you."
Schrager immediately responded with, "Oh, stop!" He followed by saying, "Ryan, don’t belittle me like that. I can come and say as three ex-players are saying one thing, and give an alternative perspective."
Clark then doubled down and gaslit Schrager stating, "Peter, what I need for you to do is not get mad and let me finish."
This was Clark’s arrogance on full display. It was a characteristic that drove viewers away and showcased a clear double standard. Clark would NEVER say the same thing to Mina Kimes. Never.
Following Monday Night Football, as he was seated next to Scott Van Pelt, Clark responding to the news that former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy committed suicide on April 12, 2025, after being charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run, and reckless operation of a vehicle, accused police of "doctoring" and "manipulating" statements regarding the crash, in order to frame him.
Clark claimed, "Kyren Lacy was being accused and investigated for something he didn’t do," and following up that initial claim, Clark said Lacy died an innocent man.
"Kyren Lacy was innocent. Kyren Lacy should be here with us." Clark stated definitively.
"There were so many stations that ran the fact that he was being investigated, so I wanted to make sure here with Scott [Van Pelt], we could say that he was an innocent man."
Clark eventually had to apologize live on air after footage was released by the Louisiana State Police showing Lacy speeding in the opposing traffic lane, passing multiple cars on the wrong side of the road just seconds before the crash.
LSP, which released footage of the incident, said Lacy caused a woman to veer into oncoming traffic to avoid hitting him.
Lacy was the "primary cause of the chain of events leading to the fatal crash," LSP said.
In his apology, Clark said, "I knew Kyren Lacy personally."
"It's always important to me that I gather all factual and important information to provide the complete story, and when discussed in real time on Monday evening, I failed to do so. And for that, I apologize," Clark said while on "First Take."
It was a bold, unwise, and unfounded declaration, but something Clark had become accustomed to doing. That’s who he was. Putting his foot in his mouth was second nature to him.
Ryan Clark was also causing immense amounts of controversy and unnecessary drama on his podcast, which was promoted on ESPN’s kyron regularly.
Clark started a feud with former Heisman winner and former ESPN personality Robert Griffin III telling him that he is not allowed to discuss perceived hatred Angel Reese has for Caitlin Clark, following a match-up between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky in 2025, because Griffin III is married to a white woman.
"The one thing we know about RGIII is he's not having conversations at his home about what Black women have to endure in this country. About what young Black women and athletes like Angel Reese have had to deal with being on the opposite side of Caitlin Clark's rise and ascension into stardom," said Clark.
"If you're RG3, when is the last time within your household you've had a conversation about what [Reese] is dealing with? You haven't been able to do that because in both of your marriages, you've been married to white women," he continued. "The whole time that he's mimicking Angel Reese and bobbing his head and moving his neck while he's doing this whole piece, his wife is in the back amending and clapping."
Like he did many times on and off air while working for ESPN, Clark eventually apologized for his comments after RGIII rightfully called him out for bringing his wife and family into a sports discussion.
I could write a book about all of the dumb things Ryan Clark said and did during his time at ESPN. It would make you laugh at it’s absurdity, make your blood boil at the audacity of his false claims, and make you put your palm to your face as you’ve undoubtedly done while reading this piece.
Overall, ESPN will be better off without Clark. He was a distraction, a nuisance, and a divisive figure.

He was a posterboy of how to divide sports fans upon racial and political lines.
Hopefully Clark is the last of those who have done nothing but frustrate fans who just want to hear guys talk about sports on ESPN.
I’m not holding out hope, though.

Man who beat rare cancer celebrates by canoeing 2,000 miles with his dog
A 67-year-old cancer survivor from Orange County, Florida, completed a more than 2,000-mile journey down the Missouri River alongside his dog, Amos, after undergoing a groundbreaking immunotherapy treatment.
Frank Carter spent 64 days navigating the longest U.S. river in a cedar-strip canoe he built by hand, according to reports from the Moffitt Cancer Center and FOX 13 News.
The expedition began in Montana and concluded near St. Louis, Missouri, requiring the pair to camp along the riverbank while enduring severe storms, high winds and hail, FOX 13 News reported.
'FIT MOM' DID 'EVERYTHING RIGHT' — THEN A COLON CANCER DIAGNOSIS CHANGED HER LIFE
Before his diagnosis, Carter was a long-distance adventurer. According to the Moffitt Cancer Center, he spent five months hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2019 and completed an eight-week cross-country bicycle ride from San Diego to New Smyrna Beach, Florida, in 2020.
However, his physical limits were tested in a new way in 2021 following a routine 5K race.
"I was wiped out. I just wasn't recovering," Carter told FOX 13 News. "I went to my doctor, had blood tests. Long story short, in two weeks I was getting chemo."
Doctors diagnosed Carter with mantle cell lymphoma, a rare form of blood cancer that originates in white blood cells known as lymphocytes. He underwent 15 rounds of chemotherapy in Orlando, according to Moffitt Cancer Center.
Although the treatment significantly reduced the cancer, follow-up exams showed lingering traces of the disease.

Carter then sought care at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa to undergo chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, which involves extracting the patient's own immune cells, genetically altering them in a laboratory to identify cancer cells, and adding them back into the body.
"We take those T-cells and genetically engineer them by putting something called a CAR into them," Dr. Michael Jain, an oncologist at Moffitt Cancer Center, told FOX 13 News. "Now these T-cells can see the tumor and get rid of it, where before the tumor was able to hide from it."

Carter has remained cancer-free for four years following the single infusion. Throughout his recovery, he has found constant support in his dog, Amos, whom he brought home right before beginning chemotherapy.

"After my cancer diagnosis, I told myself I was going to beat this, and I really wanted a dog during the process," Carter told Moffitt's Endeavor publication. "I got Amos right before my first treatment."
EXCLUSIVE: Alleged $32M COVID-19 fraud fugitive captured in Jamaica and returned to US, FBI says
FIRST ON FOX: One of the FBI's most wanted alleged COVID-19 fraud fugitives has been returned to the United States after authorities captured her in Jamaica, where FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News Digital she had been living under the fake identity "Harley Newman" while evading charges tied to a $32 million pandemic relief fraud scheme.
Elaine Angene Escoe, 41, arrived back in South Florida Thursday after Jamaican authorities arrested her following a federal manhunt. Prosecutors allege she helped fraudulently obtain more than $32 million in taxpayer-funded COVID-19 relief funds before fleeing the country after failing to appear in federal court.
Escoe was indicted in 2025 on charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering and multiple counts of money laundering, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida.
Federal prosecutors said a judge issued an arrest warrant after Escoe failed to appear in court in May 2025. Authorities allege she fled to Jamaica, where she was later located and arrested after the FBI received a tip.
"This Most Wanted Fraudster allegedly obtained tens of millions in COVID-19 relief, stealing critical resources from legitimate businesses during a national crisis," Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News Digital.
"She fled the country believing she could escape justice but ultimately could not," he continued. "Those who exploit taxpayer-funded programs will be held accountable by this Department of Justice, no matter how long it takes or where they attempt to hide."
Patel called Escoe's arrest another milestone in the FBI's international fraud crackdown, saying she is the fourth alleged "Most Wanted Fraudster" captured in the past five weeks.
"The historic success of the 'Most Wanted Fraudster' list continues as the FBI and our partners just captured our fourth Most Wanted Fraudster in 5 weeks, and yet another high value target returned to the U.S. by this FBI," Patel said. "Elaine Angene Escoe, on the run since May 2025, was captured in Jamaica while living under a fake identity of 'Harley Newman' — and returned to the United States today to face justice."
Patel said Escoe is charged with being involved in a conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering connected to a scheme that fraudulently obtained more than $32 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds.
He added that the FBI has returned more than 30 high-value targets to the U.S. since June. Patel said four alleged fraud suspects captured over the past five weeks are collectively charged with nearly $1.8 billion in fraud after spending more than 3,500 days on the run across three continents.
"Under this administration, fraud is no longer tolerated — and those who steal from American taxpayers have nowhere to hide," Patel said.
Authorities said the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, the U.S. Marshals Service, Jamaican law enforcement and the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office coordinated Escoe's return to the U.S.
Brooke Burke flaunts toned figure in green bikini during barefoot Malibu beach stroll
Brooke Burke is flaunting her toned body while taking a stroll on the beach in Malibu.
The 54-year-old TV personality and model was recently photographed walking barefoot along the shoreline in Malibu in a green bikini, which she paired with a necklace, gold earrings and a stack of bracelets.
The bikini top featured a crisscrossed pattern which gave a peek at her chest, and her bottoms had a matching pattern.
This is far from the first time Burke has been photographed posing in her bikini on the beach. Just last month, the "Penn & Teller: Fool Us" host was all smiles as she walked along the water in Malibu in an orange and blue patterned bikini with cutouts.
BELLA HADID, KELSEA BALLERINI AND OTHER STARS KICK OFF SUMMER EARLY WITH BIKINI PHOTOS
When it comes to keeping her toned figure, Burke broke down her three-hour health and beauty routine to Fox News Digital in May 2025, admitting it sounds weird.
"This castor oil belly button detox that's popping right now on social media, I got suckered. I ordered a kit," Burke began.
She then explained that she will apply castor oil to her stomach and wrap herself in a big bandage, which she then sleeps with, noting, "I think personally, because it looks so weird, that's why everyone's interested."
After removing the bandage in the morning, Burke said she will typically perform a lymphatic drainage massage on herself and rubs in the remaining oil.
"It actually works for bloating, detoxing. Skin quality is great. And I think it might be… maybe part of it's mental – you know, I'm always a skeptic and I keep it real – but it might also be the intention of kind of loving your belly a little bit and doing a belly massage and just taking care of yourself," she said. "So yeah, weird, I know, I like weird things."

The photos showed Burke enjoying the pool with her children, some of her cuddling with her fiancé, Scott Rigsby, as well as a few of her doing yoga and exercising while on vacation.
"Love this family so much! Gorgeous inside and out," one fan wrote in the comments section. Another added, "Gorgeous pics Brooke."

Burke and Rigsby made their relationship public in August 2019, and announced their engagement in September 2021, shortly after her 50th birthday.
The couple discussed their long engagement during an interview with People in June 2024, with Burke telling the outlet, "I'm not rushing."
"I think for us, it's having the experience," Rigsby said. "I mean, the whole reason to do it, too, is for the kids and for us and the family. So we want to do it right. We just don't want to rush into it."
Longer lives, worse health? Scientists uncover troubling trend across generations
People across the world are living longer, but they’re also spending more years coping with ill health, a recent study observed.
The "morbidity gap" — the number of years people spend in poor health, typically struggling with chronic challenges such as low back pain, hearing loss and depression — widened across 203 of 204 countries analyzed, and was the most pronounced in America, the researchers found.
"Globally in 2023, an average of 14·5% of life was spent in poor health, compared to 13·6% in 1990," the researchers at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington reported.
JANE SEYMOUR, 75, SHARES HOW SHE APPROACHES AGING WITH VITALITY: 'BEST I CAN BE'
In the United States, the morbidity gap is about 14 years, or 17.8% of the expected lifespan.
"Between 1990 and 2023, global life expectancy at birth increased from 64.6 years to 73.8 years, while healthy life expectancy rose from 55.9 years to 63.1 years," the researchers reported in a news release.

"Because gains in survival consistently outpaced gains in healthy years of life, people are spending more years living with chronic disease and disability," they wrote.
The gap widened the most in the wealthiest countries where populations have access to life-extending resources, the researchers reported. Women are also living longer than men, but also spending more years in poor health, they found.
"To me, the most important message of this study is not that people are living longer — it is that we have become far better at delaying death than delaying functional decline," Dr. Antony Chu, clinical assistant professor at Brown University’s Warren Alpert School of Medicine, told Fox News Digital.
"Modern medicine has achieved remarkable success in reducing mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, trauma and infectious illness," he said. "Yet many of those additional years are now lived with chronic pain, disability, sensory loss, depression or reduced independence."
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
Researchers analyzed Global Burden of Disease data covering 204 countries and territories from 1990 through 2023. In their report, published by The Lancet Public Health, scientists observed that a small number of chronic, largely non-fatal causes were the primary contributors to the morbidity gap.
Musculoskeletal disorders, especially low back pain, mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety, hearing loss, falls and other non-communicable accounted for about 57% of all years lived in poor health worldwide. High fasting plasma glucose, obesity and aging populations were also important contributors.
The researchers noted that the study points to broad health trends but doesn’t prove exactly what's causing people to spend more years in poor health.
"Our findings suggest that future gains in population health will come not only from helping people live longer, but from helping them live healthier," said Dr. Christopher Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington School of Medicine and senior author of the study.
"Progress in healthy aging should be measured not only by lifespan, but by healthspan [the number of years spent in good health], with greater investment in prevention, long-term disease management and chronic care to reduce years lived in poor health," Murray added.
The goal should no longer be simply extending lifespan, but compressing morbidity and maximizing the number of years people remain physically, cognitively and socially well, Chu told Fox News Digital.

"Ultimately, I believe the next frontier of medicine is not simply adding years to life, but adding life to years," he said. "First, we need to focus on preserving function rather than simply reacting to disease."
The approach involves routinely assessing mobility, muscle strength, balance, hearing, cognition and overall physical resilience. Chu said this may prove just as important as monitoring blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose.
"Functional decline often begins years before disability becomes obvious, providing an opportunity for earlier intervention," he said.
Musculoskeletal health also deserves much greater emphasis, Chu said.
"Progressive resistance training, fall prevention, maintenance of muscle mass and early treatment of chronic back pain should become core components of preventive medicine rather than afterthoughts," he said. "Preserving mobility may ultimately have as much impact on healthy aging as preventing heart disease."
Mental health and social connection are another vital component to healthspan, Chu said.
"Hearing loss, depression, anxiety and loneliness frequently reinforce one another, accelerating physical decline while diminishing quality of life," he said. "Addressing these conditions early may improve both longevity and independence."
Chu, who is the child of immigrants, said it’s his belief that Americans often overlook an important cultural dimension of healthy aging.
"In many societies outside the United States, older adults continue to play an active and respected role within multigenerational families," he said. "They remain mentors, caregivers, historians and sources of wisdom. This continued sense of purpose and belonging may provide meaningful protection against loneliness, depression and loss of identity."
"By contrast, many older Americans experience increasing social isolation precisely when maintaining meaningful relationships may be most important," Chu added. "Healthy aging is not determined solely by biology; it is also shaped by community, purpose and human connection."
