The Geography of Water Pipe Use
Water pipe smoking, or hookah smoking, is a growing public health concern ingrained in urban leisure cultures. Even though hookah smoking is common, the localized spatial drivers of this activity are still poorly understood. In order to close this gap, this study examined the locations of 273 hookah cafés in the Tabriz metropolis in Iran, modeling the distribution of these cafés against eight urban predictors: population density, road networks, a…
Spatial Prediction of High-Risk Areas for Asthma in Metropolitan Areas
Asthma prevalence in large urban areas of developing countries is a significant public health concern, with increased rates driven by various socioeconomic and environmental factors. This study aims to predict asthma risk in Tehran, a major urban center in Iran. Data from 1473 asthma patients, alongside demographic, socioeconomic, air quality, environmental, weather, and healthcare access variables, were analyzed using geographic information syst…
Homicide rates are spatially associated with built environment and socio-economic factors
The findings of this study showed that homicide rates were clustered over time and space in certain areas of the city. Socioeconomic and the built environment characteristics of some neighbourhoods were found to be associated with high homicide rates but these factors were different for each neighbourhood
Epidemiological characteristics and initial spatiotemporal visualisation of Covid-19 in a major city in the Middle East
Older adults and people with severe co-morbidities were at higher risk for developing serious complications due to COVID-19. Applying spatiotemporal methods to identify the transmission trends and high-risk areas can rapidly be documented, thereby assisting policymakers in designing and implementing tailored interventions to control and prevent not only COVID-19 but also other rapidly spreading epidemics/pandemics
Mortality rates due to respiratory tract diseases in Tehran, Iran during 2008–2018
This study provides a first report of the spatial distribution of mortality due to RSDs in Tehran and shows a significant increase in respiratory disease mortality in the last ten years. Effective control of the excess fatality rates would warrant a combination of urban prevention and treatment strategies including environmental health plans
