Associations between neighbourhood environmental characteristics and obesity and related behaviours among adult New Zealanders
Similar to findings from other international studies, these results highlight greenspace as an amenable environmental factor associated with obesity/overweight and also indicate the potential benefit of targeted health promotion in both urban and deprived areas in New Zealand

Using infectious intestinal disease surveillance data to explore illness aetiology; a cryptosporidiosis case study
Infectious intestinal disease (IID) surveillance data are an under-utilised information source on illness geography. This paper uses a case study of cryptosporidiosis in England and Wales to demonstrate how these data can be converted into area-based rates and the factors underlying illness geography investigated. Ascertainment bias is common in surveillance datasets, and we develop techniques to investigate and control this. Rural areas, locatio…

Effect of labour market conditions on reporting of limiting long-term illness and permanent sickness in England and Wales
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To identify any bias in the reporting of limiting long term illness and permanent sickness due to labour market conditions, and show the absence of the effect in mortality rates. DESIGN: A geographically based study using data from the 1991 census. Standardised ratios for mortality and long term illness in people aged 0-64 years and permanent sickness in people of working age were compared with Carstairs deprivation scores in mul…
A Multilevel Model of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in England and Wales
It has previously been shown that there is a significant association between mortality from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and rates of long-term migration between local authority districts in England and Wales. This evidence supports the theory that exposure to infections, mediated by population mixing, may be an important factor in many cases of SIDS. In this paper, multilevel modelling is used to examine the variability in SIDS deaths at …

Population estimates from patient registers held by British family health services authorities
Epidemiologists and purchasers or providers of health care in the UK need access to detailed and up to date information on the distribution ofpopulation, but the usefulness ofthe decennial census decreases with time, while annual mid- year population estimates do not provide age breakdowns below the scale of local and health authority districts. Patient registers currently maintained by family health service authorities (FHSAs) are an alternative…
Limiting long-term illness and its associations with mortality and indicators of social deprivation
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To examine geographical variation in limiting long-term illness in England and Wales and assesses the extent of its similarity with the distribution of mortality rates and of deprivation. DESIGN--A geographically based study using data from the 1991 census on limiting long term illness. Maps and regression analysis are used to compare the distribution of standardised illness ratios with standardised mortality ratios and indicator…
Factors affecting non-response to cervical cytology screening in Norfolk, England
Comparison of Ward Population Estimates from FHSA Patient Registers with the 1991 Census
Postcode addresses from National Health Service patient registers for Norfolk and Suffolk current on census day 1991 were assigned to census wards, and estimates of populations in wards were produced for the total population and for twelve age-sex groups. These were compared with adjusted counts of usual residents from the 1991 Census. Regression analysis was used to identify the characteristics of wards with consistent differences between regist…

Socio-Tenurial Polarization in the United Kingdom, 1953-83: The Income Evidence
Family Expenditure Survey data show a widening gap between the incomes of households in different tenures during the period 1953 to 1983. In particular, a major gap has opened up between the two major tenures as the median income of owner occupied households (relative to the national average) has risen whereas that for local authority tenants has fallen sharply. Recent years have seen an acceleration of these trends and the local authority sector…
Public Satisfaction and Social, Economic and Environmental Conditions in the Counties of England
Although there have been several studies of variations in economic, social and environmental conditions throughout Britain, little is known about how these relate to public satisfaction with different areas. Using data from the National Dwelling and Housing Survey this study examines spatial variations in public satisfaction and dissatisfaction with areas of residence. It is shown that satisfaction tends, in part, to reflect the socio-economic co…

Socio-economic change and disparities within the Paris agglomeration: Does Paris have an “inner-city problem”
Bentham G. and Moseley M. J. (1980) Socio-economic change and disparities within the Paris agglomeration: does Paris have an “inner-city” problem? Reg. Studies 14, 55–70. This paper uses 1968 and 1975 census data to examine the applicability to Paris of certain concepts related to the inner-city debate. It examines the spatial distribution within the Paris agglomeration of indicators of deprivation. Attention is focussed upon housing and economic…
