BackgroundPrevious estimates of the impact public health interventions targeting hypertension usually focus on one outcome. This study aims to consider effects change in future prevalence mortality, dementia, and disability simultaneously.MethodsWe modelled three plausible scenarios based observed trends from 2003 2017 England: continue (baseline scenario); remains unchanged; decreases by 50% 2060. We used a probabilistic Markov model integrate calendar incidence cardiovascular disease,...
Objective To examine primary school and local authority characteristics associated with registration for The Daily Mile (TDM), an active mile initiative aimed at increasing physical activity in children. Design A cross-sectional linkage study using routinely collected data. Setting All state-funded schools England from 2012 to 2018 (n=15,815). Results 3,502 of all 15,815 (22.1%) were registered do TDM, ranging 16% the East Midlands region 31% Inner London. Primary TDM had larger mean pupil...
Introduction Primary school-based physical activity interventions, such as The Daily Mile initiative, have the potential to increase children’s levels over time, which is associated with a variety of health benefits. Comparing interventions or combining results several studies single intervention challenging because previous examined different outcomes used measures that are not feasible relevant for researchers in school settings. development and implementation core outcome set (COS)...
Introduction School-based active mile initiatives such as The Daily Mile (TDM) are widely promoted to address shortfalls in meeting physical activity recommendations. iMprOVE Study aims examine the impact of TDM on children’s and mental health educational attainment throughout primary school. Methods analysis is a longitudinal quasi-experimental cohort study. We will send survey all state-funded schools Greater London identify participation TDM. responses be used for non-random allocation...
Background: Previous estimates of the impact public health interventions targeting hypertension on burden disease and mortality have not considered effects reduction mortality, dementia disability simultaneously.Methods: We modelled three plausible scenarios based observed trends prevalence 2003-2017 in England: continue (baseline scenario); 2017 remains unchanged; decreases 50% by 2060. used a probabilistic Markov Model to integrate calendar incidence cardiovascular disease, dementia,...
Abstract Between 1970 and 2020, there was a three-fold increase in China’s ≥65 population, compared to less than doubling UK. This rapid-ageing demographic has led rise age-related disabilities. At the same time, internal migration declining fertility have shaken traditional models of care. An important policy response is pilot differing long-term care insurance (LTCI) systems, with aim establishing equitable for all. Strengths limitations first set studies been identified. In second 34...
Abstract Background School-based physical activity interventions such as The Daily Mile (TDM) are widely promoted in children’s guidance. However, targeting to areas of greatest need is challenging since determinants vary across geographical areas. Our study aimed identify local authorities England with the increase and assess whether TDM reaches school populations highest need. Methods This was a cross-sectional using routinely collected data from Public Health England. Datasets on health,...

Abstract Background A growing number of small studies suggest that school-based physical activity initiatives can help children achieve the recommended 60 minutes per day. However, heterogeneity outcomes and measures used in prevents pooling results to demonstrate whether short-term health benefits are sustained. Qualitative many not represented by trials date.

<h3>Background</h3> There is limited evidence on the nationwide estimates and existing epidemiological surveys generally focused specific regions that might not be representative of older population across whole country. To estimate prevalence dementia using data, one key challenges variation in cognitive measures utilized cohorts. This study aimed to calibrate tests into common latent construct for estimation these two population-representative Chinese ageing <h3>Methods</h3> Longitudinal...
<h3>Background</h3> The secular trend of dementia incidence is an important input parameter in projecting the future burden a population. estimated disease informs health and social care planning, prevention policy. In context rapidly changing aging policy development China, we hypothesize that calendar effect may not be linear. We used Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) to estimate taking into account potential nonlinear trend. <h3>Methods</h3> this analysis, 6 waves...
<h3>Background</h3> Schools in England need effective, simple interventions to address shortfalls children's physical activity. Areas where activity is low among children may particularly benefit from school-based interventions. Further, stark geographical inequalities for exist and have widened during Covid-19 lockdowns. The Daily Mile (TDM) a running programme that has been widely adopted across England. However, there limited evidence of its equitability whether it reaches most need. We...
Abstract Background The Daily Mile (TDM) is among the most popular school-based running programmes recommended globally by governments and WHO to meet shortfalls in children's physical activity. In England, it has been adopted 1 5 primary schools. However, its impact on activity not assessed at scale. We aimed compare a)minutes (mins) of moderate vigorous (MVPA) outside school hours b)meeting guidelines children comparing those schools registered with TDM that were not. Methods This was a...
