📢 To all healthcare professionals seeing patients with NCDs: here’s a set of recommendations from our ACTIVATE consensus for how to assess, prescribe and promote #physicalactivity in clinical practice. Link of paper bjsm.bmj.com/content/earl...

1/ We ran a secondary analysis of the MOBILIZE trial to see whether a 12‑week personalised exercise therapy + self‑management programme could improve physiological markers in people living with #multimorbidity. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Increases in MVPA of 5 min/day might prevent up to 6% of all deaths in a high-risk approach and 10% of all deaths in population-based approach. Reducing sedentary time by 30 min/day might prevent a smaller, but still meaningful, proportion of deaths. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

I’m very pleased to have the opportunity to continue researching & educating students about the pros and cons of #exercise and #physicalactivity as an Associate Professor at @sduiob.bsky.social Connect if you have a keen interest in exercise & physical activity for chronic conditions 🙏

🌍 We tested whether a structured exercise and education program could improve HRQoL in people with multimorbidity. ✅ Key finding: Participants in the exercise program had better HRQoL at 12 months compared to usual care. 👉 Full study in @natmed.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

To dispel the misconception that exercise therapy wears down knee cartilage, clinicians should proactively address these concerns when treating patients with knee #osteoarthritis open.spotify.com/episode/4JVh...

Exercise therapy and self-management support are more effective than usual care alone in improving health-related quality of life at 12 months in adults with multimorbidity, without compromising safety. #multimorbidity @erc.europa.eu @natmed.nature.com @sdu.dk 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Managing #multimorbidity (two or more chronic health conditions) is one of the biggest challenges in healthcare today. It affects daily life, mental wellbeing, and overall functioning. We have some good news www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The most effective #digital health interventions for promoting #physicalactivity in individuals with chronic conditions include #exercise combined with self-management, delivered via mixed technologies, or #web #app platforms. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40639802/ @ispah.org

Even small increases in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) appear to be associated with low-grade inflammation in individuals with multimorbidity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Secondary analysis of the #MOBILIZE trial published Nature Medicine lnkd.in/eHQ3kxUU

Getting ready for #ECSS I’ll be talking about exercise for people with multiple chronic conditions and its impact on inflammation, lipids, blood pressure, triglycerides, and cholesterol. From a secondary analysis of the #MOBILIZE trial. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Illusion of Simplicity in Therapeutic Exercise Therapeutic exercise requires personalization, supervision, and continuous adaptation. Read how we took this into account in our Nature Medicine paper www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#Exercise continues to be the best medicine. A personalized exercise therapy and self-management support program is more effective than usual care alone in improving health-related quality of life at 12 months in adults with multimorbidity @naturemedicine.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Dopo 12 mesi, chi ha seguito il programma (terapia fisica e supporto all'autogestione) ha riportato una qualità della vita relativa alla salute migliore rispetto a chi ha seguito solo le cure abituali, senza ⬆️ i rischi per la salute in persone affette da più patologie croniche. 1/2

New research from the MOBILIZE project, just published in Nature Medicine, shows that an exercise therapy + self-management program = better quality of life for people with multimorbidity. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #Science #Multimorbidity #Healthcare #NatureMedicine #MOBILIZE

Necessari ulteriori studi di conferma per indagare anche la rilevanza clinica di tale differenza tra i gruppi. Ottimo lavoro @abricca.bsky.social e considerate caldamente l'esercizio fisico come uno dei "farmaci" più potenti per la nostra salute: un investimento per il futuro! 2/2 💪🏼🔥

Grazie @mattscie.bsky.social per contribuire a diffondere questo messaggio! Il nostro trial #MOBILIZE è il primo che dimostra che si può migliorare la qualità di vita in questi pazienti 🤞 La strada è ancora lunga ma la direzione è giusta!✅ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Exercise therapy - still too underrepresented in many countries and in health providers catalogues… www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thanks for helping to spread such important message 🙏

More often than you might think, I hear on the street, on TV, and read in newspapers that people with osteoarthritis should refrain from exercise therapy due to the 'damage' it may cause to the cartilage. It does not really seem to be the case 👇 www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/...

In adults with at least one chronic disease, anti-inflammatory diets lead to small improvements in physical component HRQOL, which may not be clinically relevant. No effect was found on the mental component or general HRQOL. Further high-quality RCTs may change this conclusion.

In 2021 we found that exercise therapy may be a promising solution also for patients with multiple chronic conditions. After a few years of work, we now know so much more about it and can’t wait to share the whole story. For now have a look at this systematic review 👇

The major drivers of premature death and aging (in this sample) Smoking, SES & deprivation, ethnicity, physical activity, living with a partner, sleep & mental & physical wellness including tiredness, early life exposures including height & body size at 10 years & maternal smoking around birth.

Accumulating evidence suggests that nonsurgical management can play a role before surgery is considered. Such a strategy carries fewer risks for adverse events and lowers cost without compromising outcomes. www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...
