Trends in adults body mass index related to changes in socioeconomic status of 201 large Latin American cities
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of obesity has increased worldwide. The association between socioeconomic urban development in the nutritional status of the population in large cities from low and middle-income countries is unclear. AIM: Analyze how time trends in adult BMI vary across large cities and examine whether city socioeconomic status (SES) is related to adult BMI trends and whether individual level SES modifies this relationship. METHODS: We…
Associations between urban greenspace and depressive symptoms in Mexico's cities using different greenspace metrics
Greenspace has been shown to be positively associated with mental wellbeing, but studies from the global South have been scarce. We advance the understanding of the relationship between greenspace and depressive symptoms by using multiple clearly defined metrics describing neighborhood greenness and urban parks in an understudied region with rapid urban growth. We linked individual-level health survey data for urban residents in Mexico (n = 17,25…

National trends and disparities in retail food environments in the USA between 1990 and 2014
Objective: To describe national disparities in retail food environments by neighbourhood composition (race/ethnicity and socio-economic status) across time and space. Design: We examined built food environments (retail outlets) between 1990 and 2014 for census tracts in the contiguous USA ( n 71 547). We measured retail food environment as counts of all food stores, all unhealthy food sources (including fast food, convenience stores, bakeries and…
Spatial Inequities in Life Expectancy in Small Areas of Buenos Aires, Argentina 2015–2017
Studies of life expectancy (LE) in small areas of cities are relatively common in high-income countries but rare in Latin American countries. Small-area estimation methods can help to describe and quantify inequities in LE between neighborhoods and their predictors. Our objective was to analyze the distribution and spatial patterning of LE across small areas of Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA), Argentina, and its association with socioecono…
Association between informal employment and depressive symptoms in 11 cities in Latin America
Informal employment in LAC was associated with a higher prevalence of major depressive symptoms. It is important to develop policies aiming at reducing informal jobs and increasing universal social protection for informal workers
City-Level Travel Time and Individual Dietary Consumption in Latin American Cities
There is limited empirical evidence on how travel time affects dietary patterns, and even less in Latin American cities (LACs). Using data from 181 LACs, we investigated whether longer travel times at the city level are associated with lower consumption of vegetables and higher consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and if this association differs by city size. Travel time was measured as the average city-level travel time during peak hours and…

Are Women’s Empowerment and Income Inequality Associated with Excess Weight in Latin American Cities
While income gradients and gender inequalities in excess weight have been noted elsewhere, data from Latin American cities is lacking. We analyzed gender-specific associations between city-level women's empowerment and income inequality with individual-level overweight/obesity, assessing how these associations vary by individual education or living conditions within cities in Latin America. Data came from national surveys and censuses, and was co…
Is city-level travel time by car associated with individual obesity or diabetes in Latin American cities? Evidence from 178 cities in the Salurbal project
There is growing evidence that longer travel time by private car poses physical and mental risks. Individual-level obesity and diabetes, two of the main public health challenges in low- and middle-income contexts, could be associated to city-level travel times by car. We used individual obesity and diabetes data from national health surveys from individuals in 178 Latin American cities, compiled and harmonized by the SALURBAL project. We calculat…
Longitudinal associations between objective and perceived healthy food environment and diet
Our findings suggest that neighborhood-level food environment is associated with better diet quality, especially among racially/ethnically minoritized populations
Latin American cities with higher socioeconomic status are greening from a lower baseline
The characteristics of urban green space have context-dependent associations with socioeconomic status (SES). Latin American cities provide a unique but understudied context to assess the green space-SES associations. We measured the quantity and quality of green space as greenness from satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, and we modeled the relationship between greenness and SES in 371 major Latin American cities between 200…
Are neighbourhood restaurants related to frequency of restaurant meals and dietary quality? Prevalence and changes over time in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Objective: To examine whether the density of neighbourhood restaurants affected the frequency of eating restaurant meals and subsequently affected diet quality. Design: Cross-sectional and longitudinal designs. Structural equation models assessed the indirect relationship between restaurant density (≤3 miles (4·8 km) of participant addresses) and dietary quality (Healthy Eating Index 2010 (HEI)) via the frequency of eating restaurant meals, after…
