Changes in weight status, quality of life and behaviours of South Australian primary school children
ACTRN12616000477426 (12th April 2016, retrospectively registered)
The Influence of Home and School Environments on Children’s Diet and Physical Activity, and Body Mass Index
Relationship between the home environment and fruit and vegetable consumption in children aged 6–12 years
Objective As numerous factors in the home environment have been related to children’s fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption as a component of a healthy diet, the purpose of the present systematic review was to examine these factors specifically for children aged 6–12 years. Design Relevant observational studies published in English between January 2007 and December 2015 were obtained through electronic database searches. Studies were included if …
Positive influences of home food environment on primary-school children’s diet and weight status
Objectives The mechanism by which the home food environment (HFE) influences childhood obesity is unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between HFE and childhood obesity as mediated by diet in primary-school children. Design Cross-sectional data collected from parents and primary-school children participating in the Obesity Prevention and Lifestyle Evaluation Project. Only children aged 9–11 years participated in the st…
Relationships of Sun-Protection Habit Strength with Sunscreen Use During Outdoor Sport and Physical Activity
The objective of this cross-sectional questionnaire study was to assess associations of a self-report index of sun protection habit strength with sunscreen use in sporting environments and outdoor physical activity. Participants (n = 234) in field hockey, soccer, tennis and surf sports in Queensland, Australia, completed a self-administered survey on sun protection during organized sport, and during general outdoor physical activity during 2005/2…
A Prospective Study of Diet Quality and Mental Health in Adolescents
OBJECTIVES: A number of cross-sectional and prospective studies have now been published demonstrating inverse relationships between diet quality and the common mental disorders in adults. However, there are no existing prospective studies of this association in adolescents, the onset period of most disorders, limiting inferences regarding possible causal relationships. METHODS: In this study, 3040 Australian adolescents, aged 11-18 years at basel…
Perceived and objectively measured greenness of neighbourhoods
Bicycle Use for Transport in an Australian and a Belgian City
The walkability attributes of neighborhood environments (residential density, land use mixture, and connectedness of streets) have been found to be associated with higher rates of walking. However, relatively less is known about the associations of walkability attributes with bicycle use for transport. We examined the relationships between adults' bicycle use for transport and measures of neighborhood walkability in two settings: an Australian ci…
Relationships of Land Use Mix with Walking for Transport
Residential density and adolescent overweight in a rapidly urbanising region of mainland China
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the association of residential density with overweight among adolescents in an urban area of China. METHODS: Using multistage proportional sampling methods, a population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Nanjing between September and November 2004 (n=2375; mean age=13.9 ± 1.0 years old; 46.2% boys; survey response rate=89.3%). Body mass index was calculated from self-reported body weight and height. O…
Physical activity for recreation or exercise on neighbourhood streets
Associations of Residential Density with Adolescents’ Physical Activity in a Rapidly Urbanizing Area of Mainland China
Explaining socio-economic status differences in walking for transport
Are perceptions of the local environment related to neighbourhood satisfaction and mental health in adults?
Associations of neighbourhood greenness with physical and mental health
BACKGROUND: Studies have shown associations between health indices and access to "green" environments but the underlying mechanisms of this association are not clear. OBJECTIVES: To examine associations of perceived neighbourhood "greenness" with perceived physical and mental health and to investigate whether walking and social factors account for the relationships. METHODS: A mailed survey collected the following data from adults (n = 1895) in A…

Neighborhood Walkability and the Walking Behavior of Australian Adults

Does Walking in the Neighbourhood Enhance Local Sociability
The walkability of urban neighbourhoods has emerged as a strong component in policy and design models for active, liveable communities. This paper examines the proposition that more walkable neighbourhoods encourage local social interaction, a sense of community, informal social control and social cohesion; and that the relationship is explained by walking for transport or for recreation. Multilevel analyses of data from an Australian sample show…
Cigarette Smoking is Negatively Associated with Family Average Income Among Urban and Rural Men in Regional Mainland China
Walkability of local communities
Family average income and body mass index above the healthy weight range among urban and rural residents in regional Mainland China
Objective To explore the relationship between family average income (FAI; an index of socio-economic status) and body mass index (BMI; a widely used, inexpensive indicator of weight status) above the healthy weight range in a region of Mainland China. Design Population-based cross-sectional study, conducted between October 1999 and March 2000 on a sample of regular local residents aged 35 years or older who were selected by random cluster samplin…
