Really pleased to see our paper out in @socscimed! We show how (middle-classed) capital helps people in later life sustain continued access to valued positions in the field of ageing. #Bourdieu #habitus #ageing

Great to get international media for our study led by @msk_health PhD candidate @venisa_kwok. #PhysicalActivity patterns from mid life associated with fewer falls in older age. Possible with @ALSWH_Official data and multidisciplinary help. @syd_health @SydneyLHD @SydneyResearch
Our study covered in @NTDNews focused on the total weekly amount of #physicalactivity from mid-life to older age https://t.co/ZRcnuIHRMV We know structured exercise targeting balance, strength, and function reduces falls in older adults. Exercise type and dose are both important!
