Think asthma is worse in city kids? Think again. New Australian study shows kids living in suburbs of major cities have a higher chance of asthma than those living in the city centre. 🏙️ Researchers found socioeconomic factors to be a major influence. These factors include lower income, poor housing quality, lack of access to healthcare, chronic family stress, dietary factors, and obesity. The study also found some environmental factors to play a role, such as temperature fluctuation. #australia #children #childhealth #asthma #lungdisease #respiritory #city #urbanlife

A recent WHO study highlights a growing global concern over physical inactivity, labeling it a "silent threat" as rising levels are linked to chronic diseases. The study found that over a third of the global adult population was insufficiently active in 2022, with Canada's inactivity rates also climbing. Contributing factors include sedentary lifestyles, increased screen time, and environments that discourage physical activity. The WHO urges countries to promote accessible and enjoyable physical activities to combat this trend. #PhysicalActivity #HealthAwareness #ChronicDiseasePrevention #GetMoving #ActiveLiving

Queensland’s response to the National Obesity Strategy 2022–2032 is now live and we couldn’t be prouder to present Making Healthy Happen 2032 to Queensland. Ambition 2 of Making Healthy Happen 2032 is to Empower people to stay healthy. Health and Wellbeing Queensland will build health literacy, including food and physical literacy skills, through programs and targeted campaigns that aim to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health. Health and Wellbeing Queensland will also work together with community to create and offer programs and services that promote healthy eating and physical activity, with a focus on meeting the needs of priority population groups. We will also work to shift language from weight-focused to health-focused and seek consumer views in defining appropriate weight-related language to be used across media and healthcare. This is an important step towards addressing weight stigma. There are 16 actions identified under Ambition 2. Together, this will establish a platform for reform to create a healthier Queensland.

Migraines are not just a nuisance; they also pose a significant public health challenge, affecting up to 17% of women and 6% of men annually. These statistics vary globally, with North America experiencing the highest prevalence, followed by South America, Central America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Shockingly, migraines account for approximately 3% of total emergency visits annually and impose a staggering financial burden, estimated at $27 billion per year in the United States alone. Despite these alarming numbers, many individuals suffering from migraines do not receive adequate preventive therapy, underscoring the urgent need for improved treatment strategies. 💥⚡🤕 🔗https://hubs.ly/Q02sxJNs0 #PAINWeek #PAINWeek2024 #PAINWeekconference #healthcareprofessionals #PAINWeeklasvegas #thecosmopolitanoflasvegas #pain #painmanagement #painmedications #PAINWeekattendees #PAINWeekcme #cme #ce #PAINWeek2024conference #painconference #painsponsors #paineducation #paintopics #paincourses #migraines #headache
