Increasing age of multiple sclerosis onset from 1920 to 2022: a population-based study.

Objective: To study the age at onset of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) during the past century.

Methods: This is a population-based cohort study of persons diagnosed with RRMS in Hordaland, Møre, and Romsdal counties, Western Norway, from 1920 to 2022. Individual patient data were available and assessed from previously conducted prevalence and incidence studies in addition to hospital records up until October 31, 2022.

The cost of inaction on physical inactivity to public health-care systems: a population-attributable fraction analysis.

Background: Physical inactivity is an important modifiable risk factor for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and mental health conditions. We aimed to estimate the public health-care costs associated with these diseases because of physical inactivity, which will help policy makers to prioritise investment in policy actions to promote and enable more people to be more active.

Methods: We used a population-attributable fraction formula to estimate the direct public health-care costs of NCDs and mental health conditions for 2020-30.

Economic evaluations of fall prevention exercise programs: a systematic review.

Objective: To investigate cost-effectiveness and costs of fall prevention exercise programmes for older adults.

Design: Systematic review.

Data Sources: Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, National Institute for Health Research Economic Evaluation Database, Health Technology Assessment database, Tufts Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Registry, Research Papers in Economics and EconLit (inception to May 2022).

Mortality and cause of death in multiple sclerosis in western Norway 1950-2021: a registry-based linkage study.

Background: Persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) have higher risk of mortality compared with the general population. Longitudinal studies are important for understanding the evolution of survival in pwMS.

Objective: Examine changes in mortality among pwMS during the past seven decades.

Economic evaluation of physical activity mass media campaigns across the globe: a systematic review.

Background: Physical activity mass media campaigns can deliver physical activity messages to many people, but it remains unclear whether they offer good value for money. We aimed to investigate the cost-effectiveness, cost-utility, and costs of physical activity mass media campaigns.

Methods: A search for economic evaluations (trial- or model-based) and costing studies of physical activity mass media campaigns was performed in six electronic databases (June/2021).
