Good article!
Hi, it’s Jessica Yu again from the Untangling Aging series! In my previous post, we explored VC and longevity moonshots. Today, let’s venture beyond borders and dive into the aging research hub in Singapore. With family ties in Asia, I am keenly aware of aging as a universal experience that transcends geographical boundaries. Join me with Brian Kennedy as he shares his perspectives on global aging. https://lnkd.in/gyTnxKzd

Today is National Reconciliation Week #NRW2024, a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements. On this day, we would like to highlight the research of NeuRA’s Aboriginal Health & Ageing group, who are focused on partnering with communities to improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal Australians and finding better ways to support their cognitive health as they age. Older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people hold important leadership, knowledge transfer, and care roles in their communities. Whilst many people are ageing well, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience dementia at rates that are three to five times higher than the broader Australian population. NeuRA’s Aboriginal Health and Ageing group adopts a holistic approach to healthy ageing in Aboriginal communities in New South Wales. Co-designed with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal community members and health experts, the StandingTall with Our Mob Project (#STOMP!) comprises three main components: a home-based balance exercise and brain training program called StandingTall, a group-based culturally grounded mindfulness program, and a tailored health education program.

“Although the individual costs are highest for people who are obese, the total costs for society are highest in relation to people who are overweight, since there are many more people who are overweight than obese.” The article is presented by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
Being overweight costs society far more than obesity

Europe is ageing, so what can we do about it? Our International Longevity Centre - UK and ILC Europe Network webinar in October explored healthy ageing and prevention across the continent, where we highlighted: 🧓 Europe is ageing - 1 in 3 people will be over the age of 65 by 2100. 💼 Europeans are living longer, but not necessarily working for longer, posing a risk to the long-term labour market. 📊 Europe is ageing unequally - in Eastern Europe, the average life span and work span is much lower than in Scandinavian countries. Read our blog piece summarising the discussion and our key findings 👇

🌏 For South Asian Heritage Month, we spoke with Nachammai (Nachu) Swaminathan, a Public and Patient Involvement Engagement Officer, about her role and the importance of South Asian representation in research. Nachu said: "Research that includes representation from South Asian communities ensures that health interventions and research are culturally relevant and sensitive. Actively involving these communities in the research process empowers them and fosters a participatory approach, increasing trust in research and health systems and encouraging greater community engagement in health research".

🚨 A recent study by Fuse, the Centre for Translational Research in Public Health and published in the Royal Society for Public Health Journal, has unearthed alarming evidence on the impact of energy drinks on our teenagers, revealing risks beyond what was previously known—ranging from anxiety and stress to even suicidal thoughts. Countries like Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Denmark have taken a bold stance against this issue, implementing regulations banning the sale of energy drinks to those under 18, as well as restricting sales in schools and vending machines. At Global Child Forum, we understand the critical role businesses play in shaping the well-being of our youth. An important part of our work is benchmarking companies on how well they report on their practices regarding children’s rights. In our recent 2023 benchmark, the Food, Beverage & Personal Care sector scored 3.8 for the marketplace impact area (out of a possible score of 10), suggesting a dire need for improvement. This is especially crucial for companies with substantial potential to positively influence children's choices and lifestyles.

🌱 One third of the people in the Netherlands are committed to eating healthier, driven by a desire to prevent health problems. 🍏 However, financial barriers hinder some, especially in disadvantaged neighborhoods. They lack the resources, skills, or social support for a healthy lifestyle. 🤔 So, how do we empower those in disadvantaged situations to lead healthier lives? This is the central question in the participatory action research of newly appointed Professor Annemarie Wagemakers (Health and Society Group). 🌍 Her research goes beyond identifying interventions—it delves into the broader context, ensuring collaborative changes with those involved. Breaking down barriers to healthy living is the goal. 🔄 In participatory action research, Wagemakers transforms research dynamics by working directly with stakeholders. It's about aligning with community needs, fostering continuous dialogue, feedback, and transparent collaboration. It's not just studying inequities; it's actively participating in their elimination. 🤝 In the face of challenges, intersectoral collaboration emerges as a powerful catalyst for achieving meaningful health gains.
