(10 hours ago)According to a new study by Churt University, nearly half of all cases of degeneration can be prevented by dealing with editorial risk factors, such as lack of physical activity, smoking, low education, poor sleep, and social isolation. But the study warns that current public health strategies are not doing enough to turn awareness into real change of behavior.
The research, published in The Lancet Health Longevity, examined campaigns and public health programs in eight countries. He found that while large-scale awareness campaigns can reach extensive audiences, they usually produce only small benefits in knowledge and limited behavior changes, reports the report. newsweekPeriscope broadcast.
Researchers concluded that more attractive, personal, and community-oriented approaches are needed to significantly reduce the risk of delinquency. The revision found that interactive strategies repeatedly exceeded passive information campaigns in motivating people to change their habits.
The author of the study, Mario Siervo, said the findings show a clear gap between what people know and what they do.
“up to 45 per cent of the degenerative cases are linked to editorable factors that we can change, such as our lifestyle, health situation and environment”, Siervo said in a statement. “But simply telling people what these risks are is not enough; awareness campaigns are important, but they rarely lead to significant or sustainable changes in behavior. ”
muscle strength as a key factor
A special but research-led branch highlights muscle strength and body composition as important factors in the risk of delinquency.
This study followed nearly 500,000 adults for more than a decade. He found that people with low muscle strength and excessive body fat, a combination known as sarcopenic obesity, faced a higher risk of developing a problem.
Particularly, overweight was not linked to increased risk of degeneration when muscle force was maintained. The discovery highlights the importance of maintaining muscle health along with a healthy body makeup rather than focusing solely on weight loss.
Dr. Laura Bojarskaite, a neuroscientist at Oslo University, gave her opinion on both groups of findings.
For years, the area has focused on identifying risk factors and now we have a strong list: inactivity, smoking, hearing loss, low education, social isolation, and other things. This summary displaces the question from what are the risks? ' Awareness campaigns faithfully increase knowledge, but knowledge and behavior are very different stuff”, she told Newsweek.
Although she added: "is a population assessment, not a personal guarantee. This means that if these risk factors were to be removed from the entire population, they could, to this part of the time, be avoided or delayed. This does not mean that an individual can guarantee that he will never develop a crime by marking boxes, and this should not become a new source of guilt for people who develop it.
