Patient preferences for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treatment: a multicountry stated preference study
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent primary liver cancer [1], accounting for 70–90% of liver cancer deaths worldwide [2,3]. Treatment is not curative for most patients, who often experience poor clinical outcomes, with approximately three-quarters of patients dying within five years of diagnosis [4]. Patients with HCC have worse health-related quality of life (HRQL) than people with chronic liver disease [5].

Trajectories of self-reported physical activity and predictors during the transition to old age: a 20-year cohort study of British men
We identified 3 distinct trajectories of PA in men transitioning from midlife to old age: low decreasing, light stable and moderate increasing. Men following light stable and moderate increasing trajectories had fewer health conditions, generally engaged in other healthy behaviours and had more advantaged social background characteristics in midlife than men following low decreasing trajectories.
Early life cognitive function and health behaviours in late childhood: testing the neuroselection hypothesis
Cognition, or mental ability, in childhood has consistently been shown to be associated with a reduced risk of chronic disease1 and mortality2 in adulthood. One possible explanation for these observations is that individuals with higher cognition choose to engage in healthier behaviours, a theory known as neuroselection.3 Cognition in childhood has been associated with numerous health behaviours in adulthood.

Association between physical activity levels in mid-life with physical activity in old age: a 20-year tracking study in a prospective cohort
Prospective epidemiological studies have shown that physical activity (PA) in mid-life and old age is associated with numerous health benefits, including reductions in cardiovascular disease events and mortality.1–3 Taking up PA in later life may reduce the risk of adverse health outcomes, but maintaining a physically active lifestyle throughout the life course may provide optimal health benefits.4–6 The transition from mid-life to old age typically coincides with major life events (eg,...
