The parents of the murdered MP say she would be 'so pleased' at how many women are taking part.

The Jo Cox Way ride has been held every year since the MP's murder in 2016The parents of murdered MP Jo Cox have said she would be "so pleased" at the record number of women taking part in a bike ride to London in her memory.

Organisers said 31 of around 80 riders taking part in this year's 288-mile Jo Cox Way ride were women. Mrs Cox's sister, Kim Leadbeater, who was elected to represent her sister's old seat in a 2021 by-election, has taken part in every ride since 2016. "The Jo Cox Way ride is a great chance to meet and talk to people from different backgrounds, and it's brilliant that cyclists are joining together yet again to celebrate the fact we have 'far more in common than that which divides us' - as Jo said in her maiden speech in Parliament."

Association between breastfeeding and periodontitis in Korean women using Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES): a cross-sectional study - BMC Oral HealthObjectives The effect of breastfeeding on periodontal disease in women remains unclear. This cross-sectional study used data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to explore the association between breastfeeding and periodontitis in Korean women using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII). Materials and methods Cross-sectional data was analyzed from the KNHANES 2016–2018. The study population included 5,587 parous women aged ≥ 30 years. The outcome variable was the presence or absence of periodontitis. The explanatory variable, period of breastfeeding, was defined as “none”, “1–11 months”, and “more than 12 months”. Confounder variables (socio-educational, personal healthcare practice, and systemic medical characteristics) were adjusted for in the logistic regression analysis. Results Approximately 60% of the participants breastfed for ≥ 12 months. In all statistical models, the prevalence of periodontitis was approximately 60% greater in women that did not breastfeed compared to women that had breastfed for 12 months or longer. When adjusted for age, statistical significance was only present in the 50–59 years age group (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.678; 95% confidence interval [CIs], 1.046–2.691). Conclusion Our study shows that women that breastfed for a relatively long duration had a lower risk of periodontitis. Therefore, breastfeeding may be beneficial for women’s periodontal health. These results are expected to be helpful in oral health education for pregnant women.
