Spinal trap

Article Abstract:

Back pain, along with mental illness caused by depression, and cardiovascular disease, is a very expensive health problem in Australia. According to the Asia Pacific Journal of Public Health, back injuries cost Australia around $10bn a year in direct health care costs and indirect costs, when people cannot work, and although there is debate about how back problems are treated, it is clear that evidence-based treatment needs practitioners who can provide additional time and support to their patients.

A life and no kids

Article Abstract:

The fast-growing tendency among the Australian men to remain childless is examined, indicating that out of a total of 1250 surveyed, 40% were childless, and 8% did not want children. Reproducing at the present rate is turning the future gray, as by 2101 the average age will be around 50 while the number of over-65s will make up close to one-third of the population with the proportion of children falling from 20% to 12% to 15%.
