New global research from the PURE study, published in @LancetLongevity, reveals that millions of people in low- and middle income countries are developing walking 🚶‍♀️ limitations up to 12 years earlier than those in high-income settings. Tracking more than 150,000 adults across 25 countries over 14.5 years, the study shows that modifiable factors such as low education, #obesity, hypertension, poor diet, physical inactivity, and stroke account for nearly one-third of walking 👩‍🦽 limitations and almost half of premature deaths. Disability and mortality share common roots. Investing in #prevention through education, healthier environments, and better control of cardiometabolic risks can help people not only live longer, but live longer with #mobility, independence, and dignity. thelancet.com/journals/lanhl…

Join us today for the webinar "Nothing about us without us: centring organisations of persons with disabilities in health decision-making processes" by @WHO and @IDA_CRPD_Forum. Around 1.3 billion persons with #disabilities - representing 16% of the global population - continue to experience significant and avoidable #health inequities, including poorer health outcomes, higher disease risks, and premature death. These #inequities are driven by systemic barriers, such as stigma and discrimination or the limited prioritisation of disability inclusion in health systems.  A critical and often overlooked driver of these inequities is the exclusion of persons with disabilities and their representative organisations from health decision-making processes. The webinar will be hosted on 7 May 2026, from 12:00 to 12:30 CEST. Register here us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

The #Woke Mind Virus: An Examination of a Cultural Phenomenon - This paper offers a thorough examination of the phrase #wokemindvirus tracing its origins, evolution, and current use as a politically charged critique of progressive social justice movements. It explains how the term, though not recognized in academic or clinical contexts, has become a powerful rhetorical device to describe perceived ideological rigidity, moral absolutism, and the spread of certain beliefs through emotional appeal and social pressure rather than rational debate - disabled-world.com/disability/pub…
