🚨 NEW: The UK saw the largest increase in relative child income poverty of 37 high-income countries between 2013 and 2023, an increase of 34%, new research from UNICEF UK shows.

If the two-child limit stays in place, child poverty will continue to rise. Is this really a record we want?

"We must reflect on current prevention strategies in the context of the changing contribution of different cardiovascular conditions."

@nath-conrad.bsky.social & colleagues explore the evolving spectrum of cardiovascular disease: tinyurl.com/5c9pe8mj
The proportion of newly diagnosed cardiovascular disease in the UK, by individual condition, from 2000 to 2002 and 2017 to 2019. Proportions were calculated by dividing the age–sex-standardised incidence rate for the condition of interest by the sum of the age–sex-standardised incidence rates across all ten conditions.

Promotional card for the 2025 Lancet Countdown Report. Image depicts an ambulance moving at pace in Tokyo. Text reads "Health Systems are stepping up and preparing for the dangers of climate change." Promotional card for the 2025 Lancet Countdown Report. Text reads: "As the health impacts of climate change grow, the health sector is stepping up. 58% of WHO member states have completed a Vulnerability and Adaptation assessment, while 60% have completed a Health National Adaptation Plan. Almost two-thirds of medical students around the world received climate and health education in 2024." Promotional card for the 2025 Lancet Countdown Report. Text reads: "Health systems are also taking action to reduce their contributions to climate change. While delivering improvements in healthcare, healthcare-related greenhouse gas emissions fell by 16% between 2021 and 2022 - mainly driven by reduced waste and increased efficiency." Promotional card for the 2025 Lancet Countdown Report. Text reads: "The 2025 Global Report of the Lancet Countdown informs opportunities for a healthier future. From individuals and communities to corporations, funders, and governments at every level - securing a health future requires all hands on deck."
