"When physically disabled people's remains are found, we assume that they could not produce value; therefore, only other people's compassion would lead to their survival. This is a problematic way to view disabled people."

The book offers what all great literature offers: A remarkably told narrative daring us to both recognize and shift who we are; as individuals and as a culture.

[Dr Alexey Kulikov @KulikovUNIATF]

New global research from the PURE study, published in @LancetLongevity, reveals that millions of people in low- and middle income countries are developing walking 🚶‍♀️ limitations up to 12 years earlier than those in high-income settings.

Tracking more than 150,000 adults across 25 countries over 14.5 years, the study shows that modifiable factors such as low education, #obesity, hypertension, poor diet, physical inactivity, and stroke account for nearly one-third of walking 👩‍🦽 limitations and almost half of premature deaths.

Disability and mortality share common roots. Investing in #prevention through education, healthier environments, and better control of cardiometabolic risks can help people not only live longer, but live longer with #mobility, independence, and dignity.
