N = 1,242 adults aged 40 years and older with diagnoses of hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and diabetes were randomized to one of three trial arms to receive a high LCT of 1,000 Franc de la Communauté Financière d'Afrique (FCFA) (~US$2), a lower payment of 500 FCFA or no cash transfer. Cash transfers were labelled with an explanation of their intent. The primary trial endpoints of linkage to care and treatment uptake were not found to be significantly affected by LCT receipt. Most secondary endpoints also did not meet significance. The secondary outcome of rates of face-to-face examinations was paradoxically significantly lower in LCT recipient groups than controls; however, this finding should be interpreted with caution.","PeriodicalId":19074,"journal":{"name":"Nature Human Behaviour","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147726212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we estimated the macroeconomic losses attributable to falls in 190 countries and territories for 2020-2050 using a health-augmented macroeconomic model capturing reduced labour supply from mortality and morbidity; heterogeneity in human capital by age, education and experience; and lower capital accumulation from treatment spending. Under the main specification, falls are projected to reduce global output by INT$3.939 trillion (95% uncertainty interval, 3.788-4.096), or 0.088% of the cumulative world gross domestic product. The largest absolute losses occur in the USA, followed by China and Germany. Low- and middle-income countries account for 74.8% of fall-related disability-adjusted life years but only 32.6% of the estimated economic loss, indicating a marked mismatch between health burden and monetized macroeconomic burden. The macroeconomic burden of falls is unevenly distributed globally, underscoring the need for stronger prevention efforts.","PeriodicalId":19074,"journal":{"name":"Nature Human Behaviour","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147726244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Machine learning models trained on neuroimaging data are increasingly used as tools for predicting behavioural phenotypes, enhancing precision medicine and improving generalizability compared with traditional MRI studies. However, the high dimensionality of brain connectivity data makes model interpretation challenging. Prevailing practices rely on selecting features and, implicitly, interpreting identified feature networks as uniquely representative of a given phenotype while overlooking others. Despite its widespread use, how univariate feature selection balances the trade-off between simplification for optimizing modelling and oversimplification that misrepresents true neurobiology remains understudied. Here, using four large-scale neuroimaging datasets spanning over 12,000 participants and 13 outcomes, we demonstrate that edges discarded by feature selection can achieve significant prediction accuracies while yielding different neurobiological interpretations. These results are observed across cognitive, developmental and psychiatric phenotypes, extend to both functional connectivity (functional MRI) and structural (diffusion tensor imaging) connectomes, and remain evident in external validation. They suggest that focusing on only the top features may simplify the neurobiological bases of brain–behaviour associations. Such interpretations present only the tip of the iceberg when certain disregarded features may be just as meaningful, potentially contributing to ongoing issues surrounding reproducibility within the field. More broadly, our results reinforce that subtle brain-wide signals should not be ignored.","PeriodicalId":19074,"journal":{"name":"Nature Human Behaviour","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147685136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A previous systematic review and meta-analysis found that 'true groups' (that is, those applying group dynamics principles) had advantages over individual PA interventions. Given technological advances and virtual platforms, we updated previous findings. Systematic searches of electronic databases were completed on 19 March 2024. A meta-analysis of 71 studies (523 effect sizes) compared individual and group-based PA interventions across behavioural, functional (for example, strength and flexibility), psychosocial (for example, quality of life and loneliness) and health outcomes (for example, VO2max). Using a three-level random effects model, group-based conditions showed a small but non-significant advantage for PA (n = 22,042; g = 0.086, 95% CI (-0.061, 0.233), P = 0.249), psychosocial outcomes (n = 18,223; g = 0.292, 95% CI (-0.171, 0.755), P = 0.214) and health outcomes (n = 31,607; g = 0.125, 95% CI (-0.023, 0.272), P = 0.096). For functional outcomes, a significant advantage for group-based interventions emerged after outlier removal (n = 14,429; g = 0.164, 95% CI (0.032, 0.297), P = 0.015). Moderation analysis indicated that different group types produced comparable effects, except that 'true groups' were associated with a larger effect size for health outcomes. Both individual and group-based approaches (in-person or online) may be effective. Future research should explore mechanisms that enhance their impact across populations and settings.

In particular, the relationship between online hostility and the broader sociopolitical context has received less attention, in part because of limited research outside Western countries. Here we report results from observational data collected through quota-sampled online surveys in 30 countries across six continents ( N = 15,202) about experiences of online hostility. Our findings show that people in less democratic and less economically equal countries experience more hostility online. We also found that, in every country, respondents who are hostile online are also hostile offline and that these people score higher in status-seeking motivations. Exploratory analyses suggest that less democratic societies include more status-motivated individuals and young men—groups showing higher hostility on average. Overall, these findings highlight how online political hostility is intertwined with wider societal tensions.","PeriodicalId":19074,"journal":{"name":"Nature Human Behaviour","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147611797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that all outcomes more than tripled in states discontinuing pandemic UI programmes: weekly cases rose 0.18 percentage points (95% confidence interval, 0.07-0.28), hospitalizations rose by 0.18 per 1,000 (0.09-0.27), COVID-19 deaths rose by 2.72 per 100,000 (1.23-4.21) and excess deaths rose by 4.60 per 100,000 (2.82-6.39).

Supporting a causal interpretation, UI claims fell and re-employment rose in discontinuer states, COVID-19 worsened where re-employment rose more, the COVID-19 death share of under-65-year-olds grew and illness-related lost work time increased.
