Health news and information, filed by topic

Health Classified publishes health news, explainers and everyday guides, each one filed under a topic so related reading stays together.

About Health Classified

An online publication of health news and information, organized by topic for everyday readers.

Health stories can be spread across many places, which makes it hard to follow one subject from start to finish. Health Classified brings that reading together. Every article is filed under one main topic, so a reader interested in sleep, for example, can find the sleep news, explainers and guides side by side.

Articles are written in plain language for a general audience, with health terms explained as they come up. Each one shows the date it was published and the date it was last updated, so readers can see how recent it is.

Readers are welcome to suggest topics, ask questions about an article or point out something that looks incorrect, using the contact details further down this page.
