Successfully launched the FAMILY trial - to prevent falls among Chinese older people. We recruited 2600 participants over the past 3 months. A community engaged intervention package soon to be started from Jan 24 for one year long. @rebeccaivers

We launched the ACTIVE trial, which aims to improve the quality of hip fracture care in 80 resource-constrained county-level hospitals in China. This is built on a decade of work in #hipfracture with Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. @rebeccaivers

We used routinely collected data to determine care cascades of HTN and T2DM at 🇨🇳 #PrimaryHealthCare. Detection and control are still suboptimal. We call more efforts to strengthen #PHC system.

"We have always known that potassium has a role in blood pressure control, but we didn’t realise just how important it could be." New study shows more than two-thirds of the blood pressure lowering effect of salt substitute is due to the added potassium: buff.ly/42Jzz6N

We used participatory design, to develop an implementation framework to integrate falls prevention with the primary health care system. Opportunities existed, but actions are needed to make this happen. doi.org/10.1186/s12877…
