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…
Have socio-economic inequalities in sugar purchasing widened? A longitudinal analysis of food and beverage consumer data from British households, 2014–2017
Objective: To examine socio-economic inequalities in decreases in household sugar purchasing in Great Britain (GB). Design: Longitudinal, population-based study. Setting: Data were obtained from the GB Kantar Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) panel (2014–2017), a nationally representative panel study of food and beverages bought and brought into the home. We estimated changes in daily sugar purchases by occupational social grade from twenty-three…
Longitudinal associations between neighbourhood trust, social support and physical activity in adolescents: Evidence from the Olympic Regeneration in East London (ORiEL) study
Background Most UK adolescents do not achieve recommended levels of physical activity (PA). Previous studies suggest that the social environment could contribute to inequalities in PA behaviours, but longitudinal evidence is limited. We examined whether neighbourhood trust and social support were longitudinally associated with four common forms of PA: walking to school, walking for leisure, outdoor PA and pay and play PA. We further assessed whet…
Longitudinal associations between perceptions of the neighbourhood environment and physical activity in adolescents: Evidence from the Olympic Regeneration in East London (ORiEL) study
This study suggests that younger adolescents' perceptions of their neighbourhood environment, and changes in these perceptions, did not consistently predict physical activity in a deprived and ethnically diverse urban population. Future studies should use situation-specific measures of the neighbourhood environment and physical activity to better capture the hypothesised processes and explore the relative roles of the objective environment, paren…
Associations between school and neighbourhood ethnic density and physical activity in adolescents: Evidence from the Olympic Regeneration in East London (ORiEL) study
Disparities in trajectories of changes in the unhealthy food environment in New York City: A latent class growth analysis, 1990-2010
Socio-economic patterning of expenditures on 'out-of-home' food and non-alcoholic beverages by product and place of purchase in Britain
Activity limitations predict health care expenditures in the general population in Belgium
In the absence of chronic conditions, activity limitations appear to be an important determinant of health care expenditures. To make projections on health care expenditures, routine data on activity limitations are essential and complementary to data on chronic conditions
Contribution of chronic diseases to the disability burden in a population 15 years and older, Belgium, 1997–2008
To reduce the burden of disability in Belgium, interventions should target musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases especially among elderly. Furthermore, attention should also be given to depression in young individuals
The effect of smoking on the duration of life with and without disability, Belgium 1997–2011
Smoking kills and shortens both life without and life with disability. Smoking related disability can however not be ignored, given its contribution to the excess years with disability especially in younger age groups
