Physical inactivity continues to contribute to the global burden of noncommunicable diseases. New research -- analyzing data from the Global Burden of Disease Study -- considers whether we are making enough progress.

Excellent study on seismocardiography to assess cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in the workplace.

- CRF should be used as screening tool for long term health risk.
- New ways to screen that are inclusive and convenient are needed. Could SCG be it?

An interesting article about class & menopause - ways forward:

- Make prescription costs more affordable
- Extend workplace protections and legislations
- Support your grassroots community awareness projects such as the Menopause Cafe!
