Background: Over the past decades, the prevalence of obesity among adults has rapidly increased, particularly in socioeconomically deprived urban neighbourhoods. To better understand the complex mechanisms behind this trend, we created a system map exposing the underlying system driving obesity prevalence in socioeconomically deprived urban neighbourhoods over the last three decades in the Netherlands.
Methods: We conducted Group Model Building (GMB) sessions with a group of thirteen interdisciplinary experts to develop a Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) of the obesogenic system.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with rare cancers experience longer diagnostic delays and fewer treatment options, which can negatively affect their employment status both before and after diagnosis.
- A study comparing 16,203 rare cancer patients to 23,295 common cancer patients found that those with rare cancers were more likely to become work-disabled before diagnosis and more likely to pursue self-employment after diagnosis.
- Younger patients and those on temporary contracts were more likely to transition to self-employment, highlighting the need for improved awareness and care for rare cancer to minimize negative work outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- * Findings revealed that exceeding 12 hours of stationary time daily significantly increased the risk of orthostatic circulatory disease and major CVD, with additional sitting hours heightening these risks.
- * Interestingly, while sitting time was linked to CVD risk, increased standing time beyond a certain point did not show a significant association with major CVD outcomes, suggesting complex interactions between these behaviors and cardiovascular health.
Article Synopsis
- In the Netherlands, there’s a new rule to recognize and pay for serious job-related diseases caused by substances like chemicals or asbestos.
- A special committee will help create guidelines to decide if a worker's illness was caused by their job and how to handle payments.
- The goal is to make the process quicker and easier so workers can get paid without having to deal with a lot of complicated steps or waiting a long time.
Background: There is insufficient evidence to provide recommendations for leisure-time physical activity among workers across various occupational physical activity levels. This study aimed to assess the association of leisure-time physical activity with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality across occupational physical activity levels.
Methods: This study utilized individual participant data from 21 cohort studies, comprising both published and unpublished data.
