In January, 2025, the US Surgeon General released an Advisory on alcohol consumption and cancer risk.1 He briefly summarised the evidence on alcohol and cancer, including underlying biological mechanisms, and concluded that alcohol use is a leading preventable cause of cancer in the USA and globally, causing around 100 000 and 750 000 cancer cases annually, respectively.2 The carcinogenicity of alcohol is not a new concept. More than three decades ago, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the Continuous Update Project of the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research concluded that there was sufficient evidence that alcohol causes certain cancers;3 the current list of alcohol-attributable cancer sites published by IARC4 includes cancers of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, oesophagus (squamous cell carcinoma), colon, rectum, liver, and intra-hepatic bile duct, larynx, and female breast.

Nitrous oxide has been increasing in popularity as a recreational drug in the past decade, and with this an increase in health harms related to nitrous oxide use, particularly nitrous oxide-induced myeloneuropathy. In response, governments in many countries have adopted new laws that either target the end user, by criminalising possession, or target suppliers. The effect of these measures remains to be seen, but the potential to exacerbate harm by targeting the user and thus affecting health-care-seeking behaviour is a concern. Education around the preventable harm from recreational use of nitrous oxide and tightening regulations on suppliers are essential in mitigating the increase in nitrous oxide-related health harms.

Background
Life expectancy of people with HIV has increased considerably. We used data from the Comparative Outcomes And Service Utilization Trends (COAST) study to examine sex differences in life expectancy and mortality between 1996 and 2020 among people with HIV in British Columbia (BC), Canada.
Methods
COAST, a population-based cohort study, includes clinical and administrative health data on virtually all people with HIV in BC. We calculated life expectancy for people with HIV at ages 20, 40, and 55 years stratified by sex and calendar period. We used Cox regression to model associations between sex and all-cause and cause-specific mortality, adjusting for individual and social determinants of health.
Findings
11 738 males (82·2%) and 2534 females (17·8%) of 14 272 people with HIV, aged ≥20 years, were included. Life expectancy at age 20 years for males increased by 23·54 years from 1996–2001 to 2012–20 (from 24·46 years to 48·00 years), but life expectancy for females in that period increased only by 18·81 years (from 22·13 years to 40·94 years). Similarly, life expectancy at ages 40 years and 55 years increased over time in all strata but remained lower among females than males. The sex-gap in life expectancy at ages 20 and 40 years increased over time. The association between female sex and all-cause mortality was attenuated but remained statistically significant after adjusting for individual and social determinants of health (hazard ratio 1·11 [95% CI 1·03–1·20]).
Interpretation
Although life expectancy among people with HIV in BC increased between 1996 and 2020, life expectancy of females remained lower than males with the gap between them increasing over time. Sex differences in all-cause mortality were partially explained by differences in known socio-structural determinants and immune status. Women with HIV should be considered a priority for public health strategies to address structural factors with adverse health impact.

<h3>Background</h3>Regular physical activity is recommended for all aged 5 years and older, but the health benefits gained might differ across population subgroups. The aim of this study was to examine these benefits in terms of years lived free from major non-communicable diseases in subgroups with varying levels of risk factors.<h3>Methods</h3>Our analysis was based on a multicohort study of initially healthy European adults from the IPD-Work Consortium and initially healthy participants from the UK Biobank study. Self-reported leisure-time physical activity levels at baseline (1986–2010) were categorised as low (no or very little), intermediate (between low and recommended levels), and WHO-recommended (≥2·5 h of moderate or ≥1·25 h of vigorous physical activity per week). We divided the study population into 36 overlapping subgroups based on socioeconomic factors, lifestyle, and mental health at baseline, and assessed disease-free years between ages 40 years and 75 years for both the overall population and subgroups, accounting for coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.<h3>Findings</h3>14 IPD-Work studies were assessed and six studies were excluded due to missing outcome data and unavailable data for pooling, resulting in the inclusion of eight studies with 124 909 participants. After the exclusion of 7685 participants due to prevalent diseases and 9265 due to missing data, the sample consisted of 107 959 initially healthy European adults (63 567 [58·9%] females and 44 392 [41·1%] males) from the IPD-Work consortium. For the UK Biobank sample, 9 238 453 million individuals were invited, 8 736 094 (94·6%) were non-respondents, and 502 359 participated in the baseline examination. After the exclusion of 73 460 participants, 428 899 participants had data on at least one measure of physical activity. 236 258 (55·1%) were female and 192 641 (44·9%) were male. During 1·6 million person-years at risk, 21 231 IPD-Work participants developed a non-communicable disease, while 101 319 UK Biobank participants developed a non-communicable disease over 4·8 million person-years at risk. Compared with individuals with low physical activity, those meeting the recommended physical activity levels during leisure-time gained an additional 1·1 (95% CI 1·0–1·2) to 2·0 (1·7–2·3) disease-free years, depending on sex and study. In males from the IPD-Work and UK Biobank cohorts, greater gains in disease-free years were observed in current smokers (2·4 [95% CI 2·1–2·8]) versus never smokers (0·7 [0·5–0·9]); those with low education (1·4 [1·1–1·7]) versus high education (0·8 [0·7–1·0]); low socioeconomic status (1·7 [1·5–2·0]) versus high socioeconomic status (0·9 [0·7–1·1]); and those with (1·6 [1·3–1·9]) versus without depressive symptoms (1·0 [0·9–1·1]; p value range <0·0001–0·0008).

Exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including abuse, neglect, and household challenges, have harmful implications for long-term health and mental health outcomes.1 Indeed, ACEs are one of the leading determinants of mental health disorders and are associated with increased health-care use into adulthood.1, 2 ACEs have the potential to infiltrate the family context, having implications for individual children and siblings. Yet, research on ACEs to date has largely focused on the outcomes of individuals rather than taking a family-based approach.

Regular physical activity is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer, and with longevity.1 Studies on physical activity and health have initially been based on observational studies with small sample sizes.2 Nowadays, the study quality has improved and includes laboratory-based studies with controlled interventions, albeit with limited external validity, as well as longitudinal studies with hard outcomes such as cardiovascular morbidity. Global recommendations for regular physical activity have been developed based on self-reported exercise levels. Such recommendations typically include the same advice for everyone (ie, 150 min per week of moderate intensity exercise).3
