Have those numbers changed over time?
voice-verified
Because I I know in the past you've joined us on the health report and spoken about those numbers and they don't seem to be moving much over the years.
voice-verified
Are they the numbers we should be focusing on or should we be focusing on something else?
voice-verified
What are some of the ways we could be doing that?

Jeffrey Braithwaite, Professor of Health Systems Research and Founding Director of the Australian Institute of Health Innovation at Macquarie University.

One chronic illness that's showing no signs of slowing down is obesity.
voice-verified
Nearly two in three Australian adults are overweight or obese.
voice-verified
In children, it's one in four.
voice-verified
Severe obesity, that's a BMI over 35, is linked to conditions including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and fatty liver disease.

And a recent study has shown bariatric surgery, an increasingly common surgical treatment for adults.

With severe obesity is just as effective in teens and may even have additional benefits, as Tegan Taylor reports.

After a stroke, people often have a reduced range of motion in their joints.
voice-verified
Their knees or ankles may become stiffer, and it becomes difficult to walk or pick things up.
voice-verified
That's partly caused by something called background muscle activity, nerve activity that causes a stroke patient's muscles to tighten, even when they're otherwise relaxed.
voice-verified
But a new study argues the testing of mobility after a stroke is flawed, because it
voice-verified
Doesn't test for this background muscle activity.
voice-verified
The study's lead author was Dr.
voice-verified
Joanna Diong, an honorary research associate at Neuroscience Research Australia.
voice-verified
So they simulated background muscle activity and found the range of motion was lower.
