Background: Obesity and diabetes are major public health problems. Current approaches to weight loss show varying success. Complex community‐based interventions work through several interconnected stages. An individual’s actions in response to an int...

The EarlyCDT-Lung test is a high specificity blood-based autoantibody biomarker that could contribute to predicting lung cancer risk. Here we report on the results of a phase IV biomarker evaluation of whether using the EarlyCDT-Lung test and any sub...

Intervention Characteristics Associated With a Reduction in Fear of Falling Among Community-Dwelling Older People: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials (2020)
Journal Article
Kruisbrink, M., Delbaere, K., Kempen, G. I., Crutzen, R., Ambergen, T., Cheung, K.-L., …Zijlstra, G. R. (2021). Intervention Characteristics Associated With a Reduction in Fear of Falling Among Community-Dwelling Older People: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Gerontologist, 61(6), Article e269–e282. https://doi.org/10.1093/geront/gnaa021

Fear of falling (FoF) is a common and serious problem for older people. Multi-component interventions usually show only moderate effects. Disentangling the effective components may help in the optimisation of interventions. Randomised controlled tria...

A randomised feasibility study assessing an intervention to keep adults physically active after falls management exercise programmes end (2020)
Journal Article
Audsley, S., Kendrick, D., Logan, P., Jones, M., & Orton, E. (2020). A randomised feasibility study assessing an intervention to keep adults physically active after falls management exercise programmes end. Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 6, Article 37. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-020-00570-9

Background: Physical inactivity contributes to disability and falls in older adults. Falls prevention exercise (FaME) programmes improve physical activity, physical function and reduce falling rates. Improvements in physical function reduce, and fall...
