Public health is important - as the data below on the impact of smoking reduction show. Over 4 decades, risk of pre-mature (<70yrs) death from smoking reduced from 16 in 100 to 3 in 100. That's a lot more grandmas and grandpas caring for/enjoying their grandkids :-)

How do we define 'successful' scale up? What influences this? In our latest paper we found that 'success' was a combination of scaling inputs, outputs, outcomes and contexts... Read more about it here: academic.oup.com/tbm/article/...

A study found people with coronary artery disease saw improved health outcomes after committing to the workout for 12 weeks.

This is an interesting study on the implementation of a national programme to train and support healthcare professionals in brief behavioural interventions, bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Yes! This! Guidelines are for us (researchers), not for the public. Physical activity messages should forget the threshold and promote short term/immediate benefits - and these usually relate to social and mental health! ✨ www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Even a small dose of physical activity can be good medicine; www.nature.com/articles/s41...

“A 5-year study of 263K U.K. commuters, published in the British Medical Journal in 2017, found regular cycling cut the risk of death from any cause by 41%, and the incidence of cancer and heart disease by 45% and 46% respectively. Other large-scale studies have found similar.” Via @CarltonReid.com

In people with #CHD health professionals recommend they achieve the public health #physicalactivity guidelines for secondary prevention BUT should they do more or less to ⬇️ their risk of a repeat 💔 or premature death??? 🧵
