Examining the relationship between active transport and exposure to streetscape diversity during travel
Active transport (AT)—physical activity (PA) during travel—can promote human health. Among built environment factors related to travel research, design refers to the street network features encouraging AT. The advent of street view images (SVIs) presents the potential to measure design during travel by capturing the eye-level built environments. Benefited by SVIs, this study innovatively introduces streetscape diversity—the interconnection of str…

Insights from neighbourhood walking interviews using the Living Environments and Active Aging Framework (Leaaf) in community-dwelling older adults
We aimed to understand whether neighbourhood characteristics are associated with movement and social behaviors using walking interviews with 28 community-dwelling older adults (aged 65+). Results indicated support for each component and each relationship in our proposed "Living Environments and Active Aging Framework". Additional themes such as neighbourhoods with children, moving to neighbourhoods with opportunities for social activity and movem…

The Association between Fast Food Outlets and Overweight in Adolescents Is Confounded by Neighbourhood Deprivation
The aim of our study is to utilise longitudinal data to explore if the association between the retail fast food environment and overweight in adolescents is confounded by neighbourhood deprivation. Data from the Millennium Cohort Study for England were obtained for waves 5 (ages 11/12; 2011/12; n = 13,469) and 6 (ages 14/15; 2014/15; n = 11,884). Our outcome variable was overweight/obesity defined using age and sex-specific International Obesity …
Noise and the city
Noise is one of the most frequent complaints and represents a public health hazard. While traffic-related noise has been studied extensively, research on construction noise has been lacking. In this study, we examined the relationship between construction activities and noise annoyance and tested whether this relationship is stronger after working hours. Data were drawn from a historical inventory of major development projects and crowdsourced ci…

Ethnic Density and Maternal and Infant Health Inequalities
How do the social and material characteristics of residential contexts in the host country affect immigrant maternal and infant health? We examine this question through the lens of the ethnic density hypothesis, a hypothesis that posits beneficial effects on immigrant health of living in areas of high ethnic density; that is, among a socially and linguistically similar population. We analyze the association between infant low birth weight and eth…
