Millions of lives are lost to cancer every year — and many more are forever changed.
Yet up to half of all cancers are preventable and many can be cured if detected early.

🫀It’s #HeartWeek – a time to reflect on the vital role our hearts play in overall health & wellbeing.
#HeartHealth starts in our communities. That’s why strong community and primary health care systems are key to prevention, early intervention.

A new study by a team of @Sydney_Uni and @unsw researchers determined that the burden of #diabetes in Australia could be underestimated by as much as 35 percent.
“This study highlights a major gap in how we currently monitor diabetes in Australia. If we are missing up to one in three people with diabetes in national estimates, we risk underdelivering on care and prevention. Accurate data is critical to the success of the National Diabetes Strategy” @AliceInNutrland

🔬NEW RESEARCH👇| Lowering the screening start age to 45 or 40 could reduce colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality by 5% and 10%, respectively. Meanwhile, extending the stop age to 79 or 85 could lead to a 3% and 5% reduction.
🔍The findings suggest that starting earlier is more cost-effective and offers a better balance of benefits vs. harms than extending the stop age.
