Important UK study finds #walking or #cycling could realistically substitute for 41% of short car trips, which is equivalent to 4.5% of all car trips. ⁦Huge implications for #NCD prevention, congestion, pollution, carbon emissions and more. ⁦ https://t.co/yojmFAIeZ8

The combination of Altria’s sordid history of spending billions to entice kids to smoke, and Juul’s breathtaking success at hooking a new generation of children on nicotine, could mark a historic setback for lifesaving tobacco control efforts. https://t.co/WQb0ZnXWBj

[Rohan Greenland @GreenlandRohan]

Just out: @HeartAust report on economic cost of high blood cholesterol. Estimated at $3.996bn in 2017-18. Backs case for embedding absolute CVD risk assessment in primary care. https://t.co/dm6Cglhqol @worldheartfed @AHPC_VU @amapresident @RACGP @KidneyHealth

[Heart Foundation @heartfoundation]

We released new data today with @GregHuntMP @sanofi @GreenlandRohan showing high cholesterol costs Australia $4 billion. More than a third of adult Australians have high cholesterol, but a lack of symptoms means many are not being treated. https://t.co/7WRkXGSjNG

It is critical that the four First Nations health roadmaps underway are owned by our communities, the health system and governments. @georgeinstitute #GeorgeTalks #HealthyAustralia @NACCHOAustralia

[Singapore Heart Foundation @heartSG]

Cardiac arrests or the sudden loss of heart function may strike unexpectedly. And when that happens, the survival rate of the victim is highly dependent on whether they receive CPR from people nearby.

So let's keep Stayin' Alive! https://t.co/iGSkzCSEEa
