The self-care paradox of menopause and yoga in neoliberal spaces
Menopause in many societies is dominated by a persistent narrative of decline, as a natural biological transition that must be managed and controlled. While there is a growing societal conversation around menopause, structural supports are often inconsistent, homogeneous, performance-driven and/or performative leading individuals to engage in self-care. The increasingly popular empowerment narrative of managing one’s own menopause is simultaneous…
Undiagnosed and uncontrolled hypertension in rural African adults
Non-communicable diseases, driven by cardiovascular conditions and hypertension, account for 75% of global deaths. Hypertension affects 36% of adults in Africa, exceeding the global average of 33%. Rural areas show lower diagnosis and control rates, increasing risks of stroke and early mortality. Evidence of primary health care (PHC) interventions for hypertension in these regions are limited. This scoping review analysed data from seven database…

It was evident that SB when w@h is influenced by a range of factors, and therefore multi-component intervention strategies are likely to be most effective in reducing SB. Future intervention research is a priority to evaluate and refine strategies, and inform w@h guidance to protect both the short-term and long-term health consequences of elevated SB for those who continue to w@h
What works to reduce sedentary behavior in the office, and could these intervention components transfer to the home working environment
Background Working patterns have changed dramatically due to COVID-19, with many workers now spending at least a portion of their working week at home.

The aim of this rapid review (PROSPERO CRD42021278539) was to build on existing evidence to identify what works to reduce sedenta…
Young people’s experiences of Covid-19 messaging at the start of the UK lockdown
Young people want to be listened to and feel they have a part to play in responding to a national crisis such as the COVID-19 epidemic. To reduce the likelihood of disenfranchising the next generation, Government and the media should focus on developing messaging that reflects young people's values and concerns and to provide opportunities for young people to become involved in responses to future crises
