YoungBoy Never Broke Again is sporting a new look.

The Baton Rouge rapper can be seen wearing face makeup in his new music video for “Black Ball,” which was shot while he was under home confinement. In the clip, his eyes and lips are covered with dark makeup, while the words “Rock” and “Peace” are written on his cheeks.


While speaking with DJ Akademiks on Clubhouse, the 22-year-old opened up about his “goth” appearance and newfound love for makeup.


“I like doing my face, I like painting my face or putting makeup on,” said YoungBoy. “I like to look in the mirror and see everything black, my eyes and shit.”

He admitted that it makes him feel good. “That’s 100 percent real. That’s me being myself. I feel comfortable in a way.”




The Grammy-nominated MC clarified that he is not wearing face paint and that he goes to MAC Cosmetics for his makeup. “That’s some shit from MAC,” he said. “I made my engineer go buy it. It give me like the goth feeling, like rockstar or some shit.”


YoungBoy remains on house arrest following his release from prison in late October. His long-awaited joint project with Birdman, From the Bayou, was slated to drop last week, but is now expected to arrive this Friday.

If you’re a woman in your 20s, you probably think you don’t have to worry about health problems such as strokes and colon cancer yet. But according to new research, they could affect you sooner than you think. Recent studies indicate that some disorders associated with older age are affecting younger adults, while others are greatly influenced by what you do in your 20s and 30s.

“With the epidemic of obesity and sedentary lifestyles, we’re seeing a rise in risk factors like high cholesterol, smoking and high blood pressure in younger adults,” says Erin Michos, M.D., M.H.S., associate director of preventive cardiology for the Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease at The Johns Hopkins University. “But it’s important to know that these risk factors are largely preventable. If women make lifestyle changes now, they can greatly lower their risk for developing these health problems.”

Protect yourself from conditions increasingly affecting younger women. Here’s what you need to know.

High blood pressure

High blood pressure (when your blood pumps too forcefully through your veins) is often called a silent killer. That’s because most people who have it don’t have symptoms, even though the disorder is damaging the heart, kidneys, blood vessels and brain.

Seven percent of women between ages 20 and 34 have high blood pressure. While the rate may seem low, the big issue is that young adults are far less likely to be diagnosed and treated for the condition. If left untreated, high blood pressure can result in heart disease later in life and is the leading cause of strokes. In fact, just keeping your blood pressure in check reduces your risk of stroke by 48 percent.

Pregnancy may give you a preview of your risk for high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. If you have preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy), you have a much greater chance of having high blood pressure and heart problems later on. Michos explains, “Pregnancy is like a stress test for your body. If you develop complications, it’s a sign that there may be health issues that will re-emerge afterward.”

Type 2 diabetes

You could have diabetes and not even know it. That’s the case for an estimated 3.1 million women in the United States, who likely don’t know they have the disease because they haven’t noticed any symptoms.

Obesity is a leading risk factor for diabetes. Younger generations — even children — have much higher rates of obesity than ever before. Because of that, it is on the rise, says Michos. “Type 2 diabetes and the obesity epidemic are driven by the ways many people live these days. We consume more calories, sweet beverages and fast food, and spend far too much time sitting.”

Hispanic, African-American and Native American women have to be especially careful when it comes to factors that contribute to type 2 diabetes. That’s because they are up to four times more likely to develop the condition. Developing type 2 diabetes also puts women more at risk for heart disease.

You can also experience a form of the disease called gestational diabetes during pregnancy. If you do, you’re 20 to 50 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes at a later point. This means it’s crucial to be screened for the disease more often after delivery.

Sitting Disease: How a Sedentary Lifestyle Affects Heart Health

Thanks to the convenience of technology and our modern lifestyles, people in the U.S. are more inactive than ever. Johns Hopkins cardiologist Erin Michos, M.D., M.H.S., associate director of preventive cardiology at the Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, shares research about the dangers of sitting and what you can do about it.

Strokes

While the majority of strokes occur in people over the age of 65, a recent study found a 32 percent spike in strokes among women ages 18 to 34. This sudden rise is concerning, Michos says. “Although it’s less common for younger women to have strokes, when they do it’s more likely to be fatal.”

What’s behind the increase? Risk factors for cardiovascular disease — high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity and smoking — have doubled in millennial women. Your risk is also higher than a man your age if you’re pregnant or take birth control pills, both of which can slightly increase your chance of stroke. Autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, which are more common in women, are linked to a much greater risk for stroke, too.

Colon and rectal cancer

Another study recently sounded an alarm about millennials being increasingly affected by colon and rectal cancers. “The major risk factor for the vast majority of patients with colorectal cancer is just age,” says Nilo Azad, M.D., associate professor of oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “But now we’re seeing a bit of an increase in a younger population, and we’re not entirely sure why.”

The point to remember is that colorectal cancer (cancer in the colon or rectum) can affect younger people. Talk to your doctor if you see blood in your stool or notice changes in your bowel habits. Because younger people are less likely to have colorectal cancer, there’s often a delay in being diagnosed. If your symptoms don’t improve with initial treatment for another condition such as hemorrhoids, ask your doctor when you should be tested for cancer.

Also, if one of your parents or a brother or sister had colorectal cancer before age 50, you should get tested earlier, advises Azad. Start getting screened 10 years before the age at which your family member was diagnosed.

“There’s no doubt that how you live the first half of your life not only impacts your current state, but it also affects how healthy you’ll be in the second half of your life.”

Brain shrinkage

Brain shrinkage sounds pretty scary, but it’s actually a normal part of aging. However, certain factors are linked to a faster decline in brain volume. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, are overweight or smoke, your brain could shrink more quickly than normal, which can affect your mental capacity, says Michos.

A study shows that making heart-healthy choices in your 20s may protect your brain from shrinking years down the road. The study also found further evidence that taking care of your health can keep your mind intact. That research revealed that people with heart disease risk factors had more amyloid deposits in the brain, which are associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

“There’s no doubt that how you live the first half of your life not only impacts your current state, but it also affects how healthy you’ll be in the second half of your life,” Michos says.

How can you reduce your risk?

Juggling school, career, marriage and parenting can make taking care of yourself an item that’s moved to the bottom of your to-do list. But it’s crucial you make time to do the things that will have a big impact on your health later in life.

“If you’re able to reach middle age with low cholesterol, ideal blood pressure, an optimal weight, not smoking and not diabetic, you’ll be less likely to ever develop these conditions we’re talking about,” Michos says. “Whether you live free of chronic diseases after the age of 50 really depends on the actions you take now.”

Create a healthier future for yourself with these seven recommendations from the American Heart Association:

Keep your blood pressure in check.
Control your cholesterol.
Reduce your blood sugar.
Increase your daily activity.
Eat a healthy diet.
Stay within a healthy weight.
Quit smoking.
Michos also recommends using a food diary to track calories, a pedometer to measure your activity level and regular medical exams. She reminds us that caring for ourselves has a ripple effect. “When you take steps to shop for and cook healthier meals, and to fit in daily exercise, you influence your family and friends for the better, too.”

I once took care of an elderly patient who wasn’t particularly interested in some of the preventive measures I was recommending. He liked to say “you gotta die of something.” True enough. But that’s no reason to ignore measures that could prevent deaths, especially the “low-hanging fruit” such as automobile accidents.

When thinking about the most serious health problems, there are several ways of looking at them. For example, you might consider

the most common causes of death
the diseases and conditions of death people worry about the most
the causes of death that are somewhat unique to where you live.
These three lists are not the same. Let’s consider each.

Top causes of death


According to CDC, the top 10 causes of death and the approximate number of deaths each year in the U.S. are

heart disease: 610,000
cancer: 580,000
lung disease: 149,000
accidents: 131,000
stroke: 129,000
Alzheimer’s disease: 85,000
diabetes: 76,000
flu and pneumonia: 57,000
kidney disease: 47,000
suicide: 41,000
These numbers come from death certificates, and that means they are subject to some error. For example, when a person in his 90s has several chronic diseases and “dies in his sleep,” the cause of death listed on the death certificate might be little more than a hunch.

Top health concerns

Contrast the list above to the health concerns that rise to the top when large numbers of people are surveyed. For example, a Gallup poll conducted yearly asks adults in the U.S. to name the most urgent health concerns. In the November 2015 poll, cost and access to healthcare were at the top (as they have been for many years). As for diseases, here are the most frequently mentioned concerns:

obesity: 15%
cancer: 14%
diabetes: 2%
drug & alcohol abuse: 2%
heart disease: 1%
flu: 1%
mental illness: 1%
AIDS: 1%
Remarkably, many of the top causes of death don’t even show up on this list, and many that do barely register. Perhaps survey respondents are thinking more about conditions that cause suffering or impaired quality of life rather than causing death. Or, perhaps the causes of death that primarily affect the elderly (such as stroke) are not as big a concern to the public as those that affect younger individuals. Whatever the reason, the difference is striking.

What’s unique about your state?

A recent study analyzed the causes of death in each state, and for each identified those that were significantly higher than the average elsewhere. For example, researchers found:

Accidental gun-related deaths: the rates of death due to accidental shooting were two to four times the national average in Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
Deaths during an interaction with the police: rates were up to 3.5 times higher in California, Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah.
Deaths due to accidents involving machinery: rates were highest in Iowa and North Dakota.
Suicide: Oregon, New York, Minnesota, Colorado, and New Hampshire had the highest rates.
Bicycle-related deaths: these were most common in Florida.
Accidental suffocation: this occurred most often in Connecticut.
Sometimes the reasons for these findings are obvious. For example, it’s understandable (though regrettable) that agricultural states such as Iowa and North Dakota might have a higher than average rate of death due to machinery, or that bicycle deaths might be most common in a place like Florida where the weather allows year-round biking. Others, such as the rates of suicide, are harder to understand.

A separate study recently assessed the least healthy cities in the U.S. Of the top 10 unhealthiest cities (or should we say bottom 10), all were in the southern states and most were rural. Contributors to poor health in these cities were lack of insurance, lack of access to healthcare, unhealthy diets, and relatively high rates of deaths due to injury and drug overdose.

Why it matters

It’s not surprising that the top causes of death might vary from place to place. But, that means that the measures we should take to improve our health may not be the same everywhere. It’s particularly important to recognize those diseases that we know can be prevented, slowed, or even reversed with preventive care, changes in diet, exercise, or medications. Good examples include many cases of diabetes and heart disease.

While avoiding preventable death is an important measure of health, it’s not the only one. Maintaining a high quality of life matters as well — and some would say that quality of life is more important than how long it is. Still, information about causes of death is of interest not only because of what it may say about how we live, but also in directing interventions
