RESEARCH ARTICLE: Poor Accuracy of Blood Pressure Measurement Images Online: Implications for Public Health Education @alta_schutte @LN_Aminde https://t.co/RJ8OM4w4f3

The @WHO is launching today the 2025 edition of the Global Hypertension Report during the #UNGA80 United Nations General Assembly. The event will bring together ministers and global health leaders to spotlight the urgent need for expanded and accelerated action to control

Honoured to contribute to this study in @HyperAHA, which sadly reveals most online images of #bloodpressure measurement are inaccurate. Let's raise awareness & improve #BP monitoring practices. Read more: https://t.co/vVHIFmcUTh @HypertensionAus @ISHBP

I’m proud to join global leaders in sharing the #Protect1BillionHearts Call to Action.   We can no longer accept a world where only 1 in 5 people with high #bloodpressure receive effective treatment. It’s time for bold, united action.   https://t.co/SOX9deafZI @ResolveTSL

#WHA78 '' It's been 20 years since the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) came into force. In that time, smoking prevalence has dropped by one-third globally, and there are 300 million fewer smokers today than there would have been had prevalence remained the

Two in five adults (43%) in sub-Saharan Africa are non-adherent to BP meds, with no improvement over 3 decades. Key drivers are pill burden, cost, and side effects. #AHAJournals @LN_Aminde @Griffith_Uni @Griffith_Health https://t.co/qqCB2DtBnU

High Burden and Trend in Nonadherence to Blood Pressure‐Lowering Medications: Meta‐Analysis of Data From Over 34 000 Adults With Hypertension in Sub‐Saharan Africa 👉 https://t.co/VdrLY5FPow #HTA #hypertension #cardiovasculaire #JAHA

Average American sodium intake tops 3,400 mg/day—well above the recommended federal guideline of 2,300 mg or @CircAHA goal of 1,500 mg. @BIDMChealth study led by @spjuraschek shows 2 ways to lower salt intake can cut 10-yr est risk of developing CVD.

We already have very effective (and overall affordable) medications for #hypertension available - 'drugs don't work in people who don't take them'. #Nonadherence @ISHBP @HypertensionAus https://t.co/ZeRWZ3qaDw

Our meta-analysis of 34,000 adults with #hypertension in Sub-Saharan #Africa shows two out of every five people (44%) are #nonadherent to their 💊. And, 📉 have not changed in 3 decades. Pill 💊 burden, #cost, side-effects & comorbidities were key drivers. https://t.co/zVlFEqilZV

Bans on tobacco 🚭 advertising and promotion led to 20% lower odds of people smoking and a 37% reduced risk of people starting to smoke. https://t.co/Oq63ansKYc

💥Our new meta-analysis published in @TC_BMJ shows #tobacco advertising, promotion & sponsorship bans reduced the odds of #smoking 🚭 by 20%, & ⬇️risk of taking up 🚬 by 37%! Comprehensive #bans are needed globally 🌎. See: https://t.co/zAYXp9GgMA

Latest News: Systematic review & meta-analysis showed that TAPS bans were associated with a 20% lower odds of current smoking and a 37% reduced risk of smoking initiation. https://t.co/z6uqBw8URV @LM_Aminde

New research shows tobacco marketing bans are effective in reducing smoking prevalence by 20%. Tobacco use continues to be the second leading cause of preventable disease & death in Australia. @LN_Aminde @Griffith_Health https://t.co/KYlv1IHdfL

With sodium's clear links to multiple large-scale health issues, it's a no brainer to reduce the levels in our foods. 80% of Australia's salt is consumed in packaged foods, putting the onus on industry to take action. Voluntary targets don't cut it. https://t.co/yrJsFld8KF

An equity modelling study suggests low #sodium potassium-rich #saltsubstitutes (LSSS) could prevent millions of cardiovascular & kidney disease cases in #Indonesia, saving lives and reducing healthcare costs Read more👇 https://t.co/j3rTs9TGky

Ultimately, it would be a cost-saving #policy for the Indonesian Government @KemenkesRI, reducing health #expenditures by up to US$ 2 billion (IDR 27.7 trillion) over a 10-year period. More 👉 https://t.co/rwbpsVOjUo

The #health benefits of switching to these low #sodium #salt substitutes were greatest (by 1.5x) in the #socioeconomically disadvantaged populations in #Indonesia, thereby reducing health #inequalities. 2./
