Examining Health-Related Effects of Refurbishment to Parks in a Lower Socioeconomic Area
Degraded parks in disadvantaged areas are underutilized for recreation, which may impact long-term health. Using a natural experiment, we examined the effects of local government refurbishments to parks (n = 3 intervention; n = 3 comparison) in low socioeconomic areas (LSEA) of Melbourne on park use, health behavior, social engagement and psychological well-being. Amenities promoting physical activity and sun protection included walking paths, pl…
Predictors of increased body weight and waist circumference for middle-aged adults
Objective To identify predictors of increased adiposity for different measures of adiposity. Design Prospective cohort study, the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study (MCCS), with data at baseline (1990–1994) and wave 2 (2003–2007). Setting Participants recruited from the community. Subjects Australian-born participants ( n 5879) aged 40 to 69 years who were not current smokers and who were free from common chronic diseases at recruitment. At bas…
Body-Mass Index and Mortality among 1.46 Million White Adults
BACKGROUND: A high body-mass index (BMI, the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) is associated with increased mortality from cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, but the precise relationship between BMI and all-cause mortality remains uncertain. METHODS: We used Cox regression to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for an association between BMI and all-cause mortality, adjusting for age, stud…
