Cancer affects mainly older adults👵🏻🧓🏽 1% of those 70+ yearly. Under 50, the death rate is 40x lower. Despite a rapidly aging global population, the age-standardized cancer death rate dropped 15% since 1990 #PopHealthTrends @SSPHPlus @OurWorldInData #Surveillance @PublicHealth_ch
#PopHealthTrends Losing sleep: around half of 15 year olds in Switzerland do not get enough sleep during the school week 😴 #AdolescentHealth #PopHealthLab #Surveillance @SSPHplus @publichealth_ch @AddictionSuisse
ALT Chart showing the percentage of 15 year olds getting at least 8 hours of sleep per night on school nights, by sex. In 2022, 51% of boys had at least 8 hours of sleep, while 47% of girls had at least 8 hours of sleep. This is a slight decline compared to 2014 and 2018, where the percentage was around 53% for both boys and girls. Source from Addiction Suisse (2023).
#PopHealthTrends Educational inequalities in mortality are persistent 🧑🏫📚 New evidence shows that period trends underestimate worrying trend of widening educational inequalities in mortality in younger cohorts @SSPHplus #PopHealthLab @publichealth_ch jech.bmj.com/content/77/6/40…
#PopHealthTrends Dietary guidelines recommend a salt consumption below 5g/day to prevent cardiovascular disease ❤️ Have a look to consumption across EU: we are far from the target ❗️ #PopHealthLab #Surveillance @SSPHplus @publichealth_ch @EdwinKwong7

#PopHealthTrends 1 in 8 women develop breast cancer during their life ⏩ Only 3% of breast cancer cases are due to genes, other risk factors are linked to lifestyle🍎🍷🚭🏓 #PopHealthLab @SSPHplus #PublicHealth @IARCWHO @publichealth_ch #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #Surveillance
#PopHealthTrends What drives longer life expectancies? Fewer deaths from CVDs have contributed more to longer lives in the EU than fewer deaths from cancer. In all countries, life expectancies have grown 📈👍 #PopHealthLab #Surveillance @SSPHPlus @publichealth_ch @SpringerNature
#PopHealthTrends 🔬💉 Vaccine development is a journey of innovation. Development of the measles vaccine, which was considered quick: 10 years. COVID-19 vaccines broke the record: 1 year. Progress continues @SSPHPlus @publichealth_ch @OurWorldInData #PopHealthLab #Surveillance
The #PopHealthLab team enjoyed the insightful @SLLShome #SLLS2023 conference. See you next year! @NazihahNoor_ @Jackischj @RosevdLinden @StephaneCullati @CristianCarmeli
