TL;DR: New WHO 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour reaffirm messages that some physical activity is better than none, that more physical Activity is better for optimal health outcomes and provide a new recommendation on reducing sedentary behaviours.

TL;DR: The 2020 WHO Guidelines for Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior were informed by the most up-to-date research on the health effects of physical activity and sedentary time and acknowledge the need to conduct more population-based studies in low- and middle-income countries and in people living with disabilities and/or chronic disease.

TL;DR: WHO in collaboration with UN agencies and international agencies established a Technical Advisory Group for Measurement of Healthy Ageing (TAG4MHA) to provide advice on the measurement, monitoring and evaluation of the UN Decade of healthy ageing at the global, regional and national levels.

TL;DR: Owolabi et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a neurological quadrangle, which aims to provide equitable and effective surveillance, prevention, acute care and rehabilitation of neurological disorders globally, with an emphasis on building global synergies and fostering a "neurological revolution" across four key pillars.

TL;DR: The IGAP unifies such an effort with its aim to reduce disability due to neurological disorders, in line with the biopsychosocial approach of WHO’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), for which functioning and disability are considered the result of interactions between neurological conditions and contextual factors across the life course.
