Awful to hear about Dan Andrews fall and injury today. A timely reminder that falls are serious and there is a lot we can do to reduce our risk of falls and injury. Wish him a speedy recovery #falls #osteoporosis @exercise_at

We need a much stronger focus on improving options for physical activity for older people during and after restrictions associated with COVID-19 restrictions.
Adults think #PhysicalActivity is more important than ever during the current #COVID19 crisis. This open access commentary by @Keith_Hill_RAIL & @PazitLevinger advocates for strategies to ensure that mindset remains in place: doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2020-03… #mediacampaigns #publichealth
