New data reveals that 31% of adults worldwide, about 1.8 billion people, do not meet recommended physical activity levels. This alarming trend, which has increased by 5% since 2010, poses significant risks to global health by contributing to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, dementia, and certain cancers. If the trend continues, the World Health Organization warns, inactivity levels could reach 35% by 2030. Immediate action is needed to reverse this trend. We suggest strengthening public-health policies, increasing financial support, and implementing new strategies to promote physical activity.

Alarming 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 But💡so many opportunities are there to curb the trend. Strengthen intersectoral/intergovernmental work(stop working in silos and Build Capacity. "New data show that nearly one-third (31%) of adults worldwide, approximately 1.8 billion people, did not meet the recommended levels of physical activity in 2022. The findings point to a worrying trend of physical inactivity among adults, which has increased by about 5 percentage points between 2010 and 2022.  If the trend continues, levels of inactivity are projected to further rise to 35% by 2030, and the world is currently off track from meeting the global target to reduce physical inactivity by 2030. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that adults have 150 minutes of moderate-intensity, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity, or equivalent, per week. Physical inactivity puts adults at greater risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes, type 2 diabetes, dementia and cancers such as breast and colon."

Nearly 1.8 Billion Adults at Risk from Insufficient Physical Activity, WHO Reports The recent data revealing that nearly 1.8 billion adults worldwide did not meet recommended levels of physical activity in 2022 underscores a significant public health challenge. The trend, which has seen a 5 percentage point increase in physical inactivity from 2010 to 2022, is projected to worsen, potentially rising to 35% by 2030. This situation puts a large portion of the global population at increased risk for serious health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, type... https://lnkd.in/dFqHWzgN #PhysicalActivity #WHO >>>Read full article by clicking the link below...

For too long, grouping Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) adults with Asian adults in U.S. health data has hidden critical health disparities. A recent study revealed: *NHPI adults had cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality rates 1.5 times higher than Asian adults—369.6 vs. 243.9 deaths per 100,000 from 2018 to 2022. CVD refers to conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, such as heart attacks and strokes, often caused by blocked arteries or high blood pressure. *72.6% of CVD deaths among NHPI adults were from heart disease, and 19% were from cerebrovascular disease (or problems with the blood vessels in the brain, which can lead to strokes or other issues affecting brain function). *NHPI adults had the third-highest CVD mortality rate in the U.S., behind Black and White adults. These findings emphasize the need for data that's been broken down into smaller, distinct subgroups to address the unique health challenges of diverse ethnic groups and create targeted public health interventions. #HealthEquity #DataMatters #PublicHealth Study link: https://lnkd.in/epnxTAv7 Credit: STAT's Morning Rounds newsletter

**🚨 Rising Physical Inactivity: A Global Health Crisis 🚨** **New Data Alert**: Nearly one-third (31%) of adults worldwide, about 1.8 billion people, failed to meet recommended physical activity levels in 2022. This worrying trend has surged by 5% since 2010 and is projected to hit 35% by 2030, jeopardizing the global target to reduce inactivity. **Health Risks**: Physical inactivity increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, dementia, and cancers. **Call to Action**: WHO urges bold policies and increased funding to promote physical activity, especially for women and older adults. **Join the Movement**: Let's make physical activity accessible, affordable, and enjoyable for all! 🌍💪 #Health #Fitness #GlobalHealth #PhysicalActivity #WHO #Wellness #ActiveLiving #PublicHealth [Read More On] https://lnkd.in/d-rTFn6R

New research reveals that complications from alcohol use are rising among women, with serious health problems increasing more than expected among women ages 40-64 during the pandemic. The study found that women in this age group experienced higher rates of alcohol-related liver disease, heart disease, and withdrawal symptoms than predicted. While men still die more often from drinking-related causes, the gap is narrowing, and women's deaths are climbing at a faster rate. Experts warn that heavy drinking patterns can have serious long-term health consequences, especially among women who may be experiencing increased stress and responsibilities during the pandemic. The study highlights the need for awareness and cultural shifts to address the growing issue of excessive drinking among women. We must pay attention.

#DiabetesNews— New data from #WHO reveals that 31% of adults globally, approximately 1.8 billion people, did not meet recommended physical activity levels in 2022. This trend poses significant health risks, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. WHO emphasizes the need for increased commitment and innovative strategies to promote physical activity worldwide. Regular exercise not only reduces the risk of chronic diseases but also enhances mental health and overall well-being.

In the US, cardiovascular disease, or CVD, is the leading cause of death for women, and it also accounts for at least a third of the women's health gap.    McKinsey Health Institute's latest report highlights how a lack of data and inequities between women and men in care delivery and efficacy have contributed to this disparity for over a century.    Alongside my colleague Megan Greenfield, Ph.D. and leaders of the American Heart Association, we identify the actions needed to improve women's heart health, which could unlock at least 1.6 million years of higher-quality life and boost the US economy by $28 billion annually by 2040.    Read the report, developed in collaboration with the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement: https://lnkd.in/dnV4Pgqq   #WomensHealth #HeartHealth #HealthEquity #CloseTheWomensHealthGap
