Modeling the dynamics of access to healthy food. The case of Cleveland, Ohio
Food insecurity in Cleveland, Ohio, reflects structural inequities that shape urban food systems in the United States and beyond. Historical legacies of racial segregation, chronic underinvestment in marginalized neighborhoods, and persistent wage stagnation have contributed to uneven access to affordable, nutritious food. Understanding these disparities requires a systemic perspective that captures the dynamic interactions among economic, social…
Neighborhood greenspace visits and mental health
Background Access to greenspace supports mental health, but most studies focus on the presence of greenness rather than actual use. Fewer explore how the association may vary within city boundaries and suburban areas. Objective We examined associations between neighborhood-level greenspace visits and poor mental health across nine U.S. metropolitan statistical areas (MSA), adjusting for Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), demographics,…
Trends in tracheal, bronchial and lung cancer attributed to smoking in South America
Objective. To investigate the burden of tracheal, bronchus, and lung (TBL) cancer due to tobacco exposure in the last 30 years in 12 South American countries. Methods. We used the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 exposure-response function to analyze the total tobacco, smoking, and secondhand smoke exposure-related TBL cancer deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), for 12 South American countries, between 1990 and 2019. Metrics were…
Historical neighbourhood redlining and contemporary environmental racism
To stabilize the housing market during the great depression, the government-sanctioned Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) created color coded maps of nearly 200 United States cities according to lending risk. These maps were largely driven by racial segregation, with the worst graded neighborhoods colored in red, later termed redlined neighborhoods. We sought to investigate the association between historical redlining, and trends in environment…
Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors, 1990–2019
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), principally ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke, are the leading cause of global mortality and a major contributor to disability. This paper reviews the magnitude of total CVD burden, including 13 underlying causes of cardiovascular death and 9 related risk factors, using estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019. GBD, an ongoing multinational collaboration to provide comparable and consisten…
Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Disease
Particulate Matter Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Disease
In 2004, the first American Heart Association scientific statement on “Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Disease” concluded that exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In the interim, numerous studies have expanded our understanding of this association and further elucidated the physiological and molecular mechanisms involved. The main objective of this updated American Heart Associ…
