Several scientific studies in the August issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology examine the association between obesity and the risk of colorectal cancer and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
This study is based on 11 100 diabetic patients from 400 general practices across Germany. They had an average age of 70 and were all being treated with antidiabetes drugs. 2300 of them were also in a chronic disease management programme, which included advice on how to manage their disease, regular check-ups, and a set of treatment goals that they had agreed with their GP.

Rapporten handler om hvordan bolignære områder indvirker på sundheden – og hvordan byplanlægning kan gøres bedre.
Helse har med udgangspunkt i rapporten udgivet pjecen Lys, luft og bevægelighed: anbefalinger til sund byplanlægning.
