Daily walking and mortality in racially and socioeconomically diverse US adults

In a large study of predominantly low-income and Black individuals, fast walking was associated with a significantly reduced risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Even just 15 minutes of daily fast walking was linked to lower mortality risk, independent of other physical activity levels.

Energy expenditure and obesity across the economic spectrum

This large, cross-sectional study of adults from 34 populations across diverse economies finds that daily energy expenditure is actually greater in more developed populations. While body size-adjusted total and basal energy expenditure decreased slightly with economic development, this effect was small and did not explain the observed increase in obesity, suggesting that increased energy intake is likely the primary driver.

Twelve-Month All-Cause Mortality after Initial COVID-19 Vaccination with Pfizer-BioNTech or mRNA-1273 among Adults Living in Florida

This observational study of Florida adults found a correlation between receiving the Pfizer (BNT162b2) COVID-19 vaccine and a higher risk of 12-month all-cause mortality compared to receiving the Moderna (mRNA-1273) vaccine. However, the study's design cannot determine causality and residual confounding cannot be ruled out despite extensive matching.

Global, regional, and national burden of stroke and its risk factors, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability globally, with the burden disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries. High blood pressure, high BMI, high fasting plasma glucose, air pollution, and smoking are the top five risk factors, highlighting the importance of implementing effective primary prevention strategies.

Decreased Influenza Activity During the COVID-19 Pandemic — United States, Australia, Chile, and South Africa, 2020

Following the implementation of COVID-19 mitigation measures, influenza activity dropped dramatically in the United States and remained historically low during the 2020 interseasonal period. Similar trends of low influenza activity were observed in Australia, Chile, and South Africa during their typical flu season, suggesting a potential global impact of these measures.

National, Regional, State, and Selected Local Area Vaccination Coverage Among Adolescents Aged 13–17 Years — United States, 2020

Vaccination coverage among adolescents aged 13-17 was generally high in 2020 for routinely recommended vaccines (Tdap, MenACWY, HPV). Coverage for HPV continued to increase in 2020. Further research is needed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vaccination rates in this age group.

Global, regional, and national burden of hepatitis B, 1990-2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Global chronic HBV prevalence has declined significantly, particularly in children under 5, largely due to vaccination efforts. However, HBV-related deaths are increasing in many countries due to population growth and aging, necessitating accelerated efforts to diagnose and treat existing infections.

A multisociety Delphi consensus statement on new fatty liver disease nomenclature

The study proposes replacing "NAFLD" with "MASLD" (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease), reflecting the central role of metabolic dysfunction. It also proposes diagnostic criteria based on the presence of at least one cardiometabolic risk factor and creates a separate category ("MetALD") for patients with MASLD and increased alcohol consumption.

Recommended physical activity and all cause and cause specific mortality in US adults: prospective cohort study

US adults who met the 2018 physical activity guidelines, particularly those engaging in both aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercises, showed a significantly reduced risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality, including deaths from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and respiratory diseases. These benefits were even more pronounced in individuals with chronic conditions.
