Kevin, thanks for everything! You will never be forgotten. Here are my thoughts: bit.ly/KDTipton

Simply the best.

This was really good. Recommended for those wondering how large representative surveys might move away from face-to-face data collection in the coming years. Recording apparently will be uploaded here soon youtube.com/channel/UC06_S…

There is rightly much talk about using consumer wearable devices for physical activity measurement using various research study designs. We've written a commentary picking up on four key issues we think are relevant for population surveillance doi.org/10.1123/jmpb.2…

New paper examining the entire physical activity intensity spectrum (all at once!) associated with cardiometabolic risk in adults. Findings, if causal, support WHO PA recommendations encouraging PA of (almost) all intensities - i.e. “every move counts!” sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Given the rising popularity of wearable activity trackers, the volume of data collected, & the possibilities in analyzing data retrospectively, is it time for researchers to use data from #wearables? Jacqueline Mair et al. provide strong consideration: ➡️doi.org/10.1123/jmpb.2…

WHO latest report shows 1/3 adults (1.8 billion) do not meet recommended levels of physical activity - this increases risk of NCDs. Wake up call for more action & investment in PA. Read more in Lancet Global Health tinyurl.com/39ysuhx6

Gender inequalities persist-new data reveal inactivity levels in women are on average 5 percentage points higher than in men (34% vs. 29%). In 1/3 of countries it is 10% and some countries, the difference is 20%! Read more: in Lancet tinyurl.com/39ysuhx6

I'll be joining other authors of the global estimates paper to talk about the policy implications next Tuesday

And then next Wednesday, we'll be doing a deeper dive into the methods and data available

Our latest report shows 1.8 billion adults lack physical activity, raising the risks for noncommunicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, type 2 #diabetes & certain types of #cancer. bit.ly/45NuQCE

Nearly one third of adults worldwide did not meet the recommended levels of physical activity in 2022, global study in The Lancet Global Health suggests. Explore the data 👉 hubs.li/Q02DmJly0
