A novel method for tracking urban liveability over time
Existing liveability indices are limited as they cannot be used to accurately monitor changes in liveability of a place over time. This study introduces a new method, the Adjusted Mazziotta-Pareto Index (AMPI) approach, to calculate the liveability index and accurately measure its changes. The liveability index was calculated for 403 suburbs in Melbourne, Australia, in 2016 and 2021. This index consisted of walkability components, social infrastr…
Neighborhood Socioeconomic Disadvantage and Frailty among Mid-to-Older-Aged Adults in Australia
This study examined the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and frailty in middle-to-older-aged adults. Data were obtained from a cohort study conducted in Brisbane, Australia, with 3966 participants (mean age 58.2 years; female 57.6%) included in cross-sectional analysis and 2846 in longitudinal analysis (3-year follow-up). A frailty index (FI), a composite score consisting of 32 items, w…
Neighbourhood socioeconomic disparities in active travel and car dependency in Australian urban settings
Housing and gardening
There is increasing evidence of the health and wellbeing benefits of gardening. However, such benefits are not shared equally across groups in the community. It is important from a social justice perspective to understand the contextual factors that influence opportunities to garden, and how they are distributed in society, how well, and to whom. Despite being a primary site in which people garden, little is known about how characteristics of hou…
Variations in Cycling Distances by Trip Purpose and Socio-Demographic Attributes
To better understand environmental attributes associated with cycling, it is necessary to identify an area within which such attributes are measured. Various sizes of a "buffer" drawn from home have been used for this purpose. The distances adults cycle to/from their homes may inform the determination of empirically supported buffer sizes. We examined the distribution of cycling distances using Australian travel survey data collected between 2012…
Are area-level socioeconomic inequalities in obesity moderated by neighbourhood greenery
Consistent with previous studies, our study found that participants living in disadvantaged suburbs were likely to have a larger waist circumference than those living in advantaged suburbs. However, we also found that such socioeconomic inequalities in obesity were mitigated in the areas with medium levels of greenery for this sample of Australian adults. Our findings suggest that there may be an optimum level of greenery where inequalities in ob…
Joint associations of neighbourhood walkability and greenery with walking among middle-aged and older adults
There is evidence that neighbourhood walkability and greenery are associated with walking, but less is known about their joint associations. We investigated this using data from the AusDiab3 study (2011/12) with 3032 adults (mean age 60 years). Two-level logistic regression models were used with binary walking outcomes. There was an inverse relationship (r = -0.5) between walkability (a composite measure of residential, destinations and intersect…
Public greenspace and mental wellbeing among mid-older aged adults
We explored temporal associations between public greenspace and adults' mental wellbeing. Participants (n = 5,906) aged 40-65 years at baseline had data at >2 post-baseline waves of HABITAT, a multilevel longitudinal study (2007-16) in Brisbane, Australia. Participants self-reported mental wellbeing (short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale) and neighbourhood self-selection reasons at Waves 2-5 (2009-11-13-16). We examined associations betw…
Changes in neighbourhood walkability and body mass index
This study examined associations between changes in neighbourhood walkability and body mass index (BMI) among 1041 residents who relocated within Brisbane, Australia between 2007 and 2016 over five waves of the HABITAT study. Measures included spatially-derived neighbourhood walkability (dwelling density, street connectivity, and land use mix) and self-reported height and weight. No associations were found between any neighbourhood walkability ch…
Area-level socioeconomic inequalities in overweight and obesity
Active Aging and Public Health
By 2050, 20% of the world's population will be over the age of 65 years, with projections that 80% of older adults will be living in low- to middle-income countries. Physical inactivity and sedentary time are particularly high in older adults, presenting unique public health challenges. In this article, we first review evidence that points to multiple beneficial outcomes of active aging, including better physical function, cognitive function, men…
Neighbourhood walkability and dietary attributes
Objective: Higher neighbourhood walkability would be expected to contribute to better health, but the relevant evidence is inconsistent. This may be because residents’ dietary attributes, which vary with socio-economic status (SES) and influence their health, can be related to walkability. We examined associations of walkability with dietary attributes and potential effect modification by area-level SES. Design: The exposure variable of this cros…

Built Environment, Physical Activity, and Obesity
Creating more physical activity–supportive built environments is recommended by the World Health Organization for controlling noncommunicable diseases. The IPEN (International Physical Activity and Environment Network) Adult Study was undertaken to provide international evidence on associations of built environments with physical activity and weight status in 12 countries on 5 continents ( n > 14,000). This article presents reanalyzed data from e…
Associations of built environment attributes with bicycle use for transport
An increasing number of studies have examined neighbourhood built environment attributes associated with cycling. Some of them suggest non-linear relationships between built environment attributes and cycling. This study examined the strength and shape of associations of cycling for transport with objectively measured built environment attributes. Data were from 9146 Australian adults who took part in the 2009 South-East Queensland Travel Survey.…
Living liveable? Reside's evaluation of the “Liveable Neighborhoods” planning policy on the health supportive behaviors and wellbeing of residents in Perth, Western Australia
The synthesis of findings suggests that new suburban communities built in accordance with the "Liveable Neighbourhoods" policy have the potential to encourage health supportive behaviors and wellbeing outcomes including transport and recreation walking, and to create neighborhoods with a stronger sense of community where residents may feel safer
Frailty Status and Transport Disadvantage
This study examined differences in older adults' travel behaviours by frailty status in metropolitan, suburban, and rural areas of Japan. Data were collected from 9104 older adults (73.5 ± 5.7 years; 51% women; 19% frail) living in metropolitan (n = 5032), suburban (n = 2853), and rural areas (n = 1219) of Japan. Participants reported if they walked, cycled, drove a car, rode a car as a passenger, and used public transportation (PT) once per week…

A Community-Wide Walking Promotion Using Maps and Events for Japanese Older Adults
Objective: This study evaluated the effect of a community-wide walking intervention (involving walking maps and events) on older residents' walking and environmental perceptions. Method: In this nonrandomized quasi-panel study, older adults living in an intervention and control site were recruited at baseline and follow-up. All households in the intervention site received maps and were invited to participate in a walking event monthly. The interv…
Population density is beneficially associated with 12-year diabetes risk marker change among residents of lower socio-economic neighborhoods
Natural movement
Walking to get to and from local destinations including shops, services, and transit stops is a major source of adults' health-related physical activity. Research has been using space syntax measures in examining how urban form is related to such routine walking for transport. This paper proposes to apply a theory of space syntax, natural movement, which posits street layout as a primary factor influencing pedestrian movement. Discussing how this…
