What Should Dietary Supplement Oversight Look Like in the US
Most American adults who use dietary supplements (eg, vitamins, minerals, plant and animal extracts, hormones, and amino acids) ingest them orally. The market for these products has grown rapidly and significantly over the last 25 years, but consumer protection regulations have not kept pace. In the United States, supplements' safety is regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but statutory limitations prevent the FDA from effectiv…
Public open space exposure measures in Australian health research: A critical review of the literature
Numerous studies have shown associations between public open space and a variety of health outcomes. Yet the extent to which firm conclusions and planning policy recommendations can be drawn from this body of work depends on how public open space availability has been measured and reported. Other researchers have highlighted potential issues with the way that public open space has been measured but have not systematically assessed the extent of t…
Tobacco outlet density and tobacco knowledge, beliefs, purchasing behaviours and price among adolescents in Scotland
Exploring pathways linking greenspace to health: Theoretical and methodological guidance
Multi-scalar influences on mortality change over time in 274 European cities
The relationship between wealth and loneliness among older people across Europe: Is social participation protective?
Neighborhood Environments and Socioeconomic Inequalities in Mental Well-Being
Perceived discrimination and markers of cardiovascular risk among low‐income A frican A merican youth
OBJECTIVES: Our study examines the relationship between perceived discrimination and levels of C-reactive protein and blood pressure in low-income youth ages 10-15 years old. METHODS: Data were collected from 10 to 15 year old focal children and their mothers. Face-to-face interviews were implemented to collect data on stressors including experiences of everyday discrimination from youth. High sensitivity CRP in dried blood spot samples and diast…
A cross-sectional analysis of the relationship between tobacco and alcohol outlet density and neighbourhood deprivation
The social gradient evident in alcohol and tobacco supply may be a contributing factor to the social gradient in alcohol- and tobacco-related disease. Policymakers should consider such gradients when creating tobacco and alcohol control policies. The potential contribution to public health, and health inequalities, of reducing the physical availability of both alcohol and tobacco products should be examined in developing broader supply-side inter…
Is local alcohol outlet density related to alcohol-related morbidity and mortality in Scottish cities
Alcohol consumption may be influenced by the local alcohol retailing environment. This study is the first to examine neighbourhood alcohol outlet availability (on- and off-sales outlets) and alcohol-related health outcomes in Scotland. Alcohol-related hospitalisations and deaths were significantly higher in neighbourhoods with higher outlet densities, and off-sales outlets were more important than on-sales outlets. The relationships held for most…
The density of tobacco retailers in home and school environments and relationship with adolescent smoking behaviours in Scotland
The density of tobacco retail outlets in residential neighbourhoods is associated with increased odds of both ever smoked and current smoking among adolescents in Scotland. Policymakers may be advised to focus on reducing the overall density of tobacco outlets, rather than concentrating on 'child spaces
Role of physical activity in the relationship between urban green space and health
Green cities and health: A question of scale
BACKGROUND: Cities are expanding and accommodating an increasing proportion of the world's population. It is important to identify features of urban form that promote the health of city dwellers. Access to green space has been associated with health benefits at both individual and neighbourhood level. We investigated whether a relationship between green space coverage and selected mortality rates exists at the city level in the USA. METHODS: An e…
Mortality inequalities by environment type in New Zealand
Is particulate air pollution associated with health and health inequalities in New Zealand
A comparison of green space indicators for epidemiological research
BACKGROUND: The potential for natural environments to be salutogenic has received growing interest from epidemiologists, but there has been no critical examination of the extent to which associations between green space and health might vary according to the indicator of green space coverage used. METHODS: Three different indicators of green space coverage were derived for a set of 268 small areas in four cities within Britain. The indicators had…
Environmental justice and health: A study of multiple environmental deprivation and geographical inequalities in health in New Zealand
Environmental justice and health: The implications of the socio-spatial distribution of multiple environmental deprivation for health inequalities in the United Kingdom
Understanding persistent and increasing spatial inequalities in health is an important field of academic enquiry for geographers, epidemiologists and public health researchers. Delivering robust explanations for the growing spatial divide in health offers potential for improving health outcomes across the social spectrum, but particularly among disadvantaged groups. One potential driver for the increasing geographical differences in health is the…
Re-engaging with the physical environment: A health-related environmental classification of the UK
This paper presents a health-related area-level multiple environmental classification of the UK and examines ecological associations with health. This classification, akin to a geodemographic profile of the environment, classifies small areas across the UK into seven environment types ranging from ‘Industrial’ to ‘Sunny, clean and green’. The data for the classification were gathered from a range of agencies, rendered to Census Area Statistic War…
The Mechanism behind Environmental Inequality in Scotland: Which Came First, the Deprivation or the Landfill
Research suggests that people living in deprived areas of the UK are more likely to be exposed to hazardous environments than those in more affluent areas, but the mechanism behind this trend is not clear. Discrimination in the siting of undesirable land uses has often been blamed, leading to claims of environmental injustice. However, environmental inequalities may also arise through postsiting processes that lead to selective migration: the pre…
Gender differences in relationships between urban green space and health in the United Kingdom
Developing Summary Measures of Health-Related Multiple Physical Environmental Deprivation for Epidemiological Research
Socioeconomic deprivation accounts for much of the spatial inequality in health in the UK, but a significant proportion remains unexplained. It is highly likely that the physical environment is a key factor in this unexplained variation. The role of the socioeconomic environment in health inequalities has been studied using small-area measures of multiple socioeconomic deprivation that capture the burden of socioeconomic adversity. Although simil…

Characteristics of automatic or semiautomatic firearm ownership in the United States
OBJECTIVES: This study examined ownership patterns of automatic/ semiautomatic firearms in the United States. METHODS: Data were derived from a national random-digit-dialing telephone survey of 800 gun owners. RESULTS: Sixty percent of gun owners reported owning an automatic or semiautomatic firearm. In comparison with other gun owners, owners of automatics or semiautomatics were more likely to be male, live in the South, own a gun for protection…
Patterns of acute stroke care in three districts of southern England
OBJECTIVE--To quantify the use of health care services by acutely ill stroke patients in three district health authorities. DESIGN--A follow up study of all patients recorded in population based registers who had a first ever stroke in three district health authorities, with assessment following the onset and three months after the stroke. SETTING--West Lambeth, Lewisham and North Southwark, and Tunbridge Wells District Health Authorities in sout…

Does the incidence, severity, or case fatality of stroke vary in southern England

DESIGN--Registration of first ever strokes in three district health authorities. Patients were assessed and followed up over one year by one of three observers. SETTING--West Lambeth, Lew…
