Enhancing Weight Loss Outcomes in Primary Care Clinics Through Obesity Specialist Integration
In a recent University of Michigan study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers found that integrating obesity specialists into primary care clinics significantly enhanced weight loss outcomes for high-risk patients.…
Research Isolates Population Ageing as the Dominant Influence on Musculoskeletal Health Trends
New research shows that, in around one-third of countries and territories worldwide, population ageing was the single most significant contributor to the rising burden of musculoskeletal disorders between 1990 and…
Europe’s evolving demographics may heighten the burden of antimicrobial resistance
Rates of bloodstream infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria are expected to rise substantially across Europe over the next five years, mainly driven by ageing populations, according to new research published…
Digital innovations for improving dementia care among people ageing at home and their caregivers
