Advancing Health Equity Through Surgery
Non-communicable diseases are common causes of illness, disability, and death affecting a growing number of people worldwide. Many of these conditions tend to be more common, be diagnosed later, be treated slower, and result in worse outcomes for particular individuals: people belonging to ethnic minority groups, people residing in lower-income areas, and others whose life conditions place them at risk for poor health. Despite decades of efforts to reduce and eliminate health disparities, they have persisted and in some cases they are widening. Such disparities do not have a single cause. Some of the factors influencing health and contributing to health disparities include: social determinan...

Motivation for Physical Activity, volume II
Physical activity engagement is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon driven by a variety of motivations. This Research Topic seeks to advance our understanding of the factors that inspire individuals to participate in physical activity. The collection of papers in this volume aims to shed new light on this topic, offering fresh insights into motivational aspects. With this collection, we hope to offer valuable insights into the complex realm of motivations for physical activity and underscore the significance of individual characteristics, social and cultural factors, and environmental influences in shaping exercise behaviors. Our goal is also to highlight research findings that hold implications for the promotion of physical activity across various populations, including college students, older adults, athletes, professionals, recreational sports participants, sedentary individuals seeking lifestyle changes, etc.
