"Over the past few years, the rise of anti-science and anti-vaccine rhetoric has fundamentally changed the relationship between clinicians and patients. It has made routine preventive care feel like walking into an ideological minefield." #PopHealthLab #evidence www.statnews.com/2025/12/10/a...
Kennedy is wrong, for sure, but how to resist⁉️ "To uphold a truly evidence-based public health, we must re-enchant and reinforce independent scientific institutions capable of generating valid expertise grounded in population health sciences." #PopHealthLab

"Continuously expanding disease criteria can reduce underdiagnosis and increase appropriate care, but often risk overdiagnosis, resulting in overtreatment and low-value care, ultimately threatening health care sustainability." #PopHealthLab

Risk prediction is made at a group level - not at an individual level 🤔 It seems evident but the confusion is pervasive 😱 and stems from the conflation between risk and disease #PopHealthLab

#Cancer screening ▶️ a whole-population or a risk-based approach⁉️ If risk-based, can you convince the "low-risk" strata to do less⁉️ #prevention #PopHealthLab @thelancetph.bsky.social @drotte.medsky.social @cancerresearchuk.org @vickersbiostats.bsky.social

Three thinks to do in quantitative population health studies (1) set a theoretical estimand, (2) link it to an empirical estimand, and (3) learn from data. You want to know more⁉️ Read this fantastic review #PopHealthLab

Public health surveillance or monitoring⁉️ What is clear is that we need both more than ever for evidence-based decision💪 #PopHealthLab @amjpublichealth.bsky.social @alfredomorabia.bsky.social @eupha.bsky.social @drtomfrieden.bsky.social

"Globally, children’s Na intake was too high, while K intake was too low. Data were lacking in many countries. Interventions are needed to reduce Na and increase K from childhood, and monitoring should be improved" @drtomfrieden.bsky.social #PopHealthLab

Prevalence induced concept change explains why "people whose job is to find and eliminate problems in the world often cannot tell when their work is done" 🙈 Key issue in public health‼️ #PopHealthLab #PopulationHealth #surveillance

How to predict risk⁉️ Well, do your best but acknowledge😎 uncertainties and remember that what you know at a group level is not bluntly applicable to one individual @bmj.com @societyforepi.bsky.social @eupha.bsky.social @richarddriley.bsky.social ✅️

Read, learn, and teach because "rational thinking is the real driving force that underlies the institutional and technological changes [...] leading eventually to population-wide health improvement" #PopHealthLab @alfredomorabia.bsky.social @eupha.bsky.social
