Making calculations based on your healthy living

[Ottawa Public Health @OttawaHealth]

Ottawa, thank you for being an amazing community. Your contributions to keeping our city safe and practicing physical distancing have saved so many lives.

From us to you, we say thanks. #WeAreInThisTogether

An attempt to offer insight into what’s happening in Cdn #LTC homes. Estimated case fatality of 15-19% among LTC residents, similar to older adults in the community. We need timely access to data on impact of #COVID19 in #LTC. See our report below 👇🏻 @NatashaErinLane @bruyerecare

Decreasing Ontario's 100,000 projected deaths to 3,000 requires >70% effective physical distancing in most models. Does anyone have a good way to explain X% effective social distancing?

[Amy T. Hsu, PhD @amytmhsu]

Check out our new study in @AGSJournal highlighting the increasing care needs of new residents in ON's LTC homes. Two-thirds of LTC residents now have 9+ prescription meds at the time of entry @NatashaErinLane @PTanuseputro @wwodchis @sebskill @AdvantAgeOnt @OLTCAnews #BeMoved

Excited about my new book: "Relax, Dammit!: A User's Guide to the Age of Anxiety" https://t.co/qeVbBBRnX9 Out April 28!

So many of our daily decisions – big & small – are influenced by fearmongering, misinformation, & bad science. Let's cut through the noise!

Many folks know https://t.co/ZJIRwYdIzP's calculators for individuals, but the population health planning tools are the heart PBL and our biggest impact on improving health (so far).

[BigLife Calculators @projectbiglife]

Sleep is one of the most requested predictors for many of our calculators. We are at the national strategy on sleep and circadian rtythms to look at options to add. Sleep problems are likely a more important public health burden than we all realize.

[The Ottawa Hospital @OttawaHospital]

Dr. @doug_manuel "attributes much of the gain in healthy years of life to what he calls the “big four” of basic preventative care: smoking, alcohol, food and exercise."

[Bruyère Health @bruyerehealth]

We are taking advantage of the Bruyère's #LifeChangingDay to challenge our researchers to present their work in three minutes or less. It's great to see the research going on to improve the quality of life in our community. #lifechangingday @Heidi_Sveistrup

[Peggy Taillon @peggy_taillon]

Thanks @ctvottawa for having the 3EOs on tonight to chat @bruyerecare #lifechangingday we’ll be sharing inspiring stories of recovery, innovation and resilience all day Thursday September 19th. @GuyChartrand @Heidi_Sveistrup

[ICES @ICESOntario]

Today is #InternationalSelfCareDay but every day should be, for your health: a recent @ICESOntario study by @LauraCRosella of @UofT_dlsph @PopHlthAnalytic showed that dissatisfaction in life could more than double your risk of chronic disease & early death https://t.co/tc1uF8sliZ

[Amy T. Hsu, PhD @amytmhsu]

Great visual abstract of our study! 240% increase in ED visits due to alcohol among younger women between 2003 and 2016. Thanks @CMAJ! #datavisualization

[Peter Tanuseputro @PTanuseputro]

Doubling in ED visits because of alcohol over the last 14 years. It’s eye-opening and sobering, no pun intended!
