"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"The shape of your gluteus maximus can predict whether you are more likely to develop diabetes, new research suggests, adding to the evidence that a high-fitness lifestyle will keep you healthier for longer. The NHS has long warned that as people become older and more overweight, the chance of developing Type 2 diabetes increases. Now, research indicates that the shape of the muscle in our rear ends changes with age and with conditions such as diabetes or osteoporosis."
The Independent sends journalists to cover developing stories across topics including reproductive rights, climate change and technology and avoids paywalls while relying on reader donations to fund reporting. Donations enable reporters to interview multiple perspectives and undertake investigations, such as financial probes and documentaries. New research links the shape of the gluteus maximus to metabolic health, with larger gluteal muscle shape associated with higher fitness and lower Type 2 diabetes risk. Ageing, frailty and prolonged sitting correlate with muscle thinning. Researchers from the University of Westminster highlighted the muscle's size and its role in predicting health outcomes.
