- The document analyzes cycling road accident casualties in Great Britain from 1985-2010 using regression models to investigate the relationship between casualties and factors like age, vehicle mileage, and HGV mileage.
- It finds an absolute and exposure-adjusted reduction in cycling casualties over this period, as well as an increase in the average age of casualties. Cars were found to better predict cycling casualties than HGVs.
- The results contribute to evidence that cycling safety in the UK has increased, despite declines in cycling participation, but policies are still needed to further reduce risks and increase cycling rates.
The health of the nation – older, sicker, fatter! By Charlie Fosterukactive
The document discusses promoting physical activity through changing attitudes and environments. It provides evidence that environmental changes and individually-focused interventions can effectively increase physical activity levels in the short to medium term. However, the evidence base has limitations and a multi-level approach is recommended, including changes to attitudes, environments, policies and individual-level programs.
Synergies between urban transport and public healthFagner Glinski
Urban transport policies can significantly impact public health in both positive and negative ways. Investing in walking, cycling, public transit and policies that reduce car use can improve health by increasing physical activity and reducing air pollution, noise and traffic injuries. However, policies need to consider equity and protect vulnerable groups like children. Engaging diverse stakeholders and using evidence-based decision making is important to drive policy changes towards more sustainable and healthy urban transport systems.
James Paul Gregory Public Health Paper 2014James Gregory
This document proposes that Thanet District Council and local town councils invest in installing outdoor gyms in parks across the region. It cites evidence that outdoor exercise facilities improve physical, mental, and economic well-being for communities. Statistics show residents of Thanet have lower sports participation and health outcomes than national averages. Installing free, accessible outdoor gyms could help address barriers to physical activity and promote healthier lifestyles to benefit both individuals and the local economy. The proposal aims to improve health and reduce inequality across Thanet.
Modelling adaptive capacity to fuel shocks – an indicator for sustainable tra...Robin Lovelace
There is a possibility that a fuel shock could occur; a severe restriction in the amount of fuel available for transport. This would restrict the movement of people. The spatial pattern of the capacity of individuals to adapt to a fuel shock is of concern to policy makers. Additionally the scope for policy makers to estimate the effects of schemes to increase adaptive capacity on groups of people at small geographies would allow them to target resources to more vulnerable areas.
An indicator is built which reports the proportion of people in an area who would have the capacity to make a journey such as their current commute immediately after the fuel shock begins.

This document summarizes a presentation given at an event on ageing and mobility. The presentation was given by Dr. Rosy Pereyra on sarcopenia, which is a loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength associated with ageing. Some key points from the presentation include:
- Sarcopenia is estimated to affect 5-13% of people aged 60-70 and prevalence increases with age. It can lead to physical disability, poor quality of life, and increased risk of death.
- Diagnosis of sarcopenia requires low muscle mass plus either low muscle strength or poor physical performance. It can be assessed through muscle mass measurements, grip strength tests, or walking speed tests.

Analysis of a financial incentive to encourage safer driving practices.speedalert
This document summarizes a study that analyzed the behavioral effects of a financial incentive program designed to encourage safer driving among motorists in Sydney, Australia. The study involved monitoring 148 motorists' driving habits over 5 weeks without incentives and 5 weeks with incentives. The incentives rewarded reductions in vehicle kilometers traveled, nighttime driving, and speeding. Results found that vehicle kilometers traveled decreased 10% overall, with 3/4 of participants reducing speeding. Exit interviews suggested incentives effectively reduced speeding but were more difficult to reduce overall driving. The final analysis focused on 106 motorists and found 61% earned money by changing their driving, with average payouts of $116.
This document summarizes a research article from the International Journal of Civil Engineering and Technology that examines factors influencing bicycle use in Upper Egypt. The article investigates the low levels of cycling in Upper Egypt through a questionnaire of 925 male and female students. It finds that 58% of males and 22% of females would be potential bicycle users if safe infrastructure and parking existed. The main barriers to cycling are a lack of infrastructure, safety concerns, social norms, and safe parking. Encouraging cycling in Upper Egypt would require policies promoting cycling and changing cultures through media to increase acceptance.
Does active commuting protect against obesity in mid-life? Evidence from UK B...UKFacultyPublicHealth
- This study analyzed data from the UK Biobank to examine associations between commuting mode and BMI/body fat.
- Cross-sectional analysis found significant, independent associations between more active commuting modes (public transport, walking, cycling) and lower BMI/body fat, even after controlling for potential confounding factors.
- Longitudinal analysis found that switching from car commuting to public/active modes predicted decreases in BMI over time, while switching from public/active modes to car commuting predicted increases in BMI.
- The findings provide evidence that policies encouraging active commuting could benefit population health by reducing cardiovascular disease risk factors like obesity.
Making the most of bike commuting - New Albany, Indianaericvancemartin
This document summarizes a workshop that explored how increasing bicycle infrastructure in New Albany, Indiana could impact bicycle commuting rates and public health outcomes. It describes three scenarios: the current situation with low infrastructure/commuting; a scenario with more lanes and paths that could double commuters; and a scenario with infrastructure on all major roads that could increase commuters five-fold. Scientific studies were cited showing that more infrastructure correlates with more riders and better health outcomes like reduced obesity and diabetes rates. Cost-benefit analyses of infrastructure in other cities found benefits outweigh costs in reduced healthcare and fuel costs or increased safety.
Effective local action on Air Pollution in London Lucy Saunders mappingforchange
Public transportation in London impacts public health in several key ways:
1) Air pollution and traffic collisions from motor vehicles lead to increased rates of cancer, heart disease, lung disease and child development issues.
2) Lack of accessibility and physical inactivity due to overreliance on cars results in higher risks of obesity, diabetes and mental health problems.
3) Poor transportation options can isolate communities and increase social problems.

European Health Parliament - Prevention of chronic diseases paperBeatriz
This document discusses the need for a new and strengthened EU Alcohol Strategy to help prevent chronic diseases. It notes that alcohol is a major contributor to disease and death in Europe. While some progress has been made through existing strategies and policies, Europe still has the highest per capita alcohol consumption in the world. The document calls for the EU to take a more proactive role in supporting member state legislation and regulation on alcohol. It proposes that the new EU Alcohol Strategy address key areas like pricing policies, marketing restrictions, and health warnings on alcohol products to help reduce alcohol-related harm at both the European and national levels.
This document summarizes a project called PHAN! which aims to promote physical activity in Europe. The project addresses the challenge that physical inactivity is a leading health risk factor in Europe. It works to develop guidance and tools to integrate physical activity into urban planning, promote activity among youth and disadvantaged groups, and strengthen the HEPA Europe networking organization. The project is funded by the EU and involves several partner organizations focused on transport, health, cities and physical activity promotion.
A Plan for Getting the Nation Moving - Dr Will Cavendishukactive
The document outlines a plan to increase physical activity levels in the nation. It discusses the health benefits of activity and current inactivity levels. The plan proposes informing the public, creating opportunities for activity, identifying those at risk, and coordinating delivery. Initiatives include expanding walking routes and green spaces, free swimming, active travel incentives, and investing in local partnerships to promote physical activity. The goal is to reverse obesity trends and get more adults and children regularly active.
Making the case for public health interventionsThe King's Fund

Men's health statistics in Scotland and Europe show that men have poorer health outcomes than women. Men have a lower healthy life expectancy than women and higher rates of heart disease, stroke, hazardous drinking, and alcohol-related hospital admissions. Men are also less likely than women to see a doctor, attend health screenings, and adopt healthy behaviors. Examples from the UK show that targeting men through programs related to their interests, like football clubs, can help attract men to health initiatives and address their specific health needs.
The document discusses training and capacity building efforts for international public health research on NCD prevention. It describes the Cambridge Seminar program which provides epidemiology training to researchers from low and middle income countries. It also highlights several examples of collaborative research projects between researchers from different countries investigating NCD risk factors, interventions for diabetes prevention, and physical activity patterns in rural and urban settings in Africa. The overall aim is to build global capacity to undertake translational public health research for preventing non-communicable diseases.

Welcome to the Sustainable Health Scotland Conference 2016. Sustainable Health Scotland 2016 addressed the role of sustainable development within Scotland’s health services focusing on the shift to a preventative system. The Conference was a catalyst to a long-term campaign on behalf of National Services Scotland addressing health inequalities and patient services via the role of sustainable development which includes the first annual NHSScotland Sustainability Day event.
The Conference featured best-practice examples from across Scotland on how sustainability is supporting Boards to deliver high quality patient services as well as expert commentary on future initiatives to support the drive to a healthier Scotland.
The document analyzes whether physically inactive citizens cost governments more than active citizens through healthcare expenditures. It finds that physical inactivity is linked to increased risk of diseases like diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Healthcare costs associated with treating diseases caused by inactivity account for billions spent annually in countries studied. The document recommends governments implement policies and programs to encourage physical activity, and allocate funding to build recreation facilities. Increased physical activity could save governments over three times the costs of implementing initiatives to promote activity.

Their expert reports conclude that lifestyle factors like smoking, diet, nutrition, weight management, and physical activity have significant impacts on cancer risk, and that many cancers can be prevented through appropriate changes to these behaviors.
The document discusses the role of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in providing guidance on public health in the UK. NICE develops public health guidance and programme guidance over different timelines to provide strategic recommendations and focus on specific topics, diseases, or settings. The guidance aims to apply principles of cost-effectiveness and value for money to public health interventions and programs. Economic analysis plays an important role in assessing the costs and benefits of prevention versus treatment.
The document discusses how transport policy has negatively impacted public health by contributing to issues like climate change, air pollution, obesity, and road danger. It notes that global climate change poses significant health risks and that many countries, especially the US, are experiencing obesity epidemics due to inactive lifestyles. The document argues that environments can be made more "obesogenic" and that physical activity should be incorporated into everyday activities like walking and cycling instead of driving. It provides examples from places like the UK, Switzerland, Germany, and Denmark that have successfully increased active transport through measures like reallocating road space, building bike infrastructure networks, and restricting car traffic.
This document summarizes the key findings of a report on physical inactivity in the UK. It finds that 1 in 4 people in England are inactive, failing to meet guidelines of 30 minutes of moderate activity per week. Inactivity levels are about 10% higher in more deprived areas. There is also a relationship between inactivity and premature mortality, with more inactive areas having higher premature death rates. However, there is no significant connection between green space availability and inactivity levels. The document calls for a national strategy to reduce inactivity rates by 1% annually, which could save local authorities £1.2 billion over 5 years. It recommends prioritizing inactivity programs and developing evidence-based initiatives to engage inactive groups.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

This SlideShare presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the Declaration of Helsinki, a foundational document outlining ethical guidelines for conducting medical research involving human subjects.
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

changes on physical activity
A combination of changes to working practices,
policies and the physical environment encouraged
adults to maintain their vigorous physical activity and
fitness
Active travel interventions must contain environmental
supports to sustain individual choice (i.e. public
transport)

44. Scotland has a higher mortality of CHD compared to England
45. Cost of physical inactivity related disease
in Scotland - Method
Attribute the proportion of morbidity
and mortality to diseases related to
physical inactivity
» Cardiovascular disease
» Cancer (Lower GI & breast)
» Diabetes mellitus
Spend within disease areas

46. Burden of physical inactivity related
mortality in Scotland in 2007-2008
There were just under 18,000 deaths
per year in physical inactivity disease
categories
Physical inactivity contributes to 2,640
deaths

47. The direct costs of physical inactivity
related disease to the NHSS is…..
£141 million per year
Health costs for alcohol £400 million per
year

48. What’s still to be added?
Other disease areas direct health
service costs
» Mental health, obesity, falls
Indirect costs
» Lost productivity
» Premature mortality
Others?

50. It’s fantastic value…
NICE established that brief interventions
for physical activity cost between £20 and
£440 per QALY (when compared with no
intervention), which is significantly below
the £30,000 threshold and represents
exceptional value for money

Some 50 years since Morris’ first study there is now international consensus on the health benefits of physical activity. The US Surgeon General in 1996 and now in March of this year the Chief Medical Officer published major public health reports on the health benefits of physical activity.
This slide shows the type of physical activity you could do, it’s risk and benefits for fitness and health. The greatest gains in benefits lie at the less active left side of the scale.
The least active have the most to gain
Physical Activity Task Force (1995) to encourage more people to take 30 minutes of moderate intensive activity on a daily basis (at least 5 days a week) walking, cycling
So how active do you need to be? In 1995 this recommendation was recognised as the basis of message for the public.
It was not intended to replace the more 3 times 20 minutes of vigorous types of physical activity so dominant previously.

NOTES FOR PRESENTERS:
Key points to raise (drawn from the recommendations):
Bullet 1
Encourage children and young people, especially those who live within a 2-mile radius of school, to walk, cycle or use another mode of physically active travel to get there (recommendation 12).
Bullet 2
Implementing school travel plans may include: mapping safe routes to school and to local play and leisure facilities; organising walk and bike-to-school days and walking buses; organising cycle and road safety training; and helping children to be ‘streetwise’ (recommendations 5, 12).
Organise training courses for school travel plan advisers (recommendation 5).
Bullet 3
Identify any aspect of transport policies which discourages children and young people from using modes of travel involving physical activity (such as walking or cycling) (recommendation 5).
Ensure local transport and school travel plans continue to be fully aligned with other local authority plans which may impact on children and young people’s physical activity. This includes local area agreements, local area play strategies and healthy school plans. Local transport authorities, school travel advisers and transport planners should liaise with LSPs to achieve this (recommendation 5).
Ensure local transport plans continue to be developed in conjunction with local authority departments and other agencies that provide spaces and facilities for children and young people to be physically active (recommendation 5).
