📣Just accepted:
📈 New brief report by @AdrianBauman & colleagues highlights a growing issue in #PhysicalActivity research: the surge in publications may lower quality & make it harder to find & apply key findings.

[Mengyun (Susan) Luo @SusanLuo1]

Definitely a privileged opportunity to learn from and collaborate with amazing stakeholders from different sectors. Please check out our latest publication to see more.

[Melody Ding @DrMelodyDing]

Q: Do we experience more #loneliness after #retirement?
A: hmmm...It depends...likely to differ across cultures.

Glad to see @NetaHaGani @pjclare @SusanLuo1 's new work out in @JECH_BMJ exploring this question.
