At #ECO2025 sharing our results on obesity prevalence in PT adults by education, occupation and income from 2005-2019. We found persistent gender and social inequalities, highlighting the need to prioritise these determinants on obesity prevention strategies #obesity @bmvalente.bsky.social

Excited to share a poster from my PhD work (with the brilliant @jfcaraujo.bsky.social) at #ECO2025! It explores how education, occupation & income shape obesity inequalities among Portuguese women and men (2005–2019). Interested in the social determinants of obesity? Let’s connect!

Art and awareness #ECO2025! Great work on the importance and recognition of people's lived experiences with obesity at the European Congress on Obesity! #ECPO #giselapretel #obesity #awareness

As bússolas eleitorais, tal como os debates televisivos, ignoram temas centrais (por ex., posições sobre a Palestina). Aqui ficam e amanhã há mais. Reconhecer Estado da Palestina: BE, CDU, Livre, PS AD: Procurar cessar-fogo IL: sem menção O mais detalhado: Livre

A student-led protest movement in Serbia rallied more than 100,000 people for a peaceful demonstration on Saturday in Belgrade, defying warnings from the country’s embattled authoritarian leader that months of unrest were careening out of control into violence.

Sobre como o género, a classe e o estigma se relacionam com o corpo, principalmente com o corpo com obesidade. www.publico.pt/2125539 Adorava ouvir as vossas reflexões!

So in the end, and rather unsurprisingly, the CDU did not win any voters from the far-right AfD by aligning their positions on migration and voting with them in parliament. Instead, they lost almost a million voters to the AfD

I question the urgent need to rethink public health research. At its core, public health stands for human dignity - this foundation matters now more than ever.

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

Pergunto-me como se racionaliza o que se passa neste "mundo caos" e se arranja força para resistir. #Sambandonaadversidade

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
