Worldwide trends in insufficient physical activity from 2001 to 2016: a pooled analysis of 358 population-based surveys with 1·9 million participants

TL;DR: If current trends continue, the 2025 global physical activity target (a 10% relative reduction in insufficient physical activity) will not be met and policies to increase population levels of physical activity need to be prioritised and scaled up urgently.

Global trends in insufficient physical activity among adolescents: a pooled analysis of 298 population-based surveys with 1·6 million participants.

TL;DR: Current prevalence and trends of insufficient physical activity among school-going adolescents aged 11–17 years by country, region, and globally are described and urgent scaling up of implementation of known effective policies and programmes is needed.

Global estimates of visual impairment: 2010.

TL;DR: It is indicated that visual impairment in 2010 is a major health issue that is unequally distributed among the WHO regions; the preventable causes are as high as 80% of the total global burden.
