Built environment pathways to cardiometabolic risk in a 20-minute neighbourhood context
Background The built environment plays a pivotal role in shaping cardiometabolic risk by influencing lifestyle behaviours. The 20-Minute Neighbourhood (20MN) concept, promoting accessible, walkable urban areas, has gained traction as a strategy to improve community health. Objectives This study examined whether neighbourhood built environment features, operationalised within a 20-min, are associated with cardiometabolic risk through indirect beha…

Built Environment Features and Cardiometabolic Mortality and Morbidity in Remote Indigenous Communities in the Northern Territory, Australia
Indigenous Australians experience poorer health than non-Indigenous Australians, with cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) being the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Built environmental (BE) features are known to shape cardiometabolic health in urban contexts, yet little research has assessed such relationships for remote-dwelling Indigenous Australians. This study assessed associations between BE features and CMD-related morbidity and mortal…

Geographic variation in and contextual factors related to biguanide adherence amongst medicaid enrolees with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Much is known about the adverse impacts on diabetes outcomes of non-adherence to diabetes medication. Less is known about how adherence to diabetes medication varies geographically, and the correspondence of this variation to social and contextual factors. Using pharmacy claims data over a two-year period, this study analysed non-adherence to biguanide medication for N=24,387 adult Medicaid enrolees diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) …
Prioritizing Built Environmental Factors to Tackle Chronic and Infectious Diseases in Remote Northern Territory (NT) Communities of Australia
High prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases in Indigenous populations is a major public health concern both in global and Australian contexts. Limited research has examined the role of built environments in relation to Indigenous health in remote Australia. This study engaged stakeholders to understand their perceptions of the influence of built environmental factors on chronic and infectious diseases in remote Northern Territory (NT) comm…
Residential Area Sociodemographic and Breast Cancer Screening Venue Location Built Environmental Features Associated with Women’s Use of Closest Venue in Greater Sydney, Australia
Understanding environmental predictors of women's use of closest breast screening venue versus other site(s) may assist optimal venue placement. This study assessed relationships between residential-area sociodemographic measures, venue location features, and women's use of closest versus other venues. Data of 320,672 Greater Sydney screening attendees were spatially joined to residential state suburbs (SSCs) ( n = 799). SSC-level sociodemographi…
Prevalence of overweight and obesity, and associations with socio-demographic factors in Kuwait
Overweight was greater in men, obesity greater in women. Overweight and obesity prevalence were high in young adults aged 18-29 years, a significant public health concern. Efforts to integrate mandatory physical education to the school curriculum and promoting the creation of recreation spaces/parks to promote physical activities, will play a vital role in the early prevention of overweight/obesity in Kuwait
Associations between supermarket availability and body size in Australia
For Australian capital cities, greater availability of supermarkets is associated with healthful body size. Marked between-city variations in body size, supermarket availability, and relationships between supermarket availability and body size do not, however, support universal, "one-size-fits-all" solutions to change built environments to support healthful body size
Relative ‘greenness’ and not availability of public open space buffers stressful life events and longitudinal trajectories of psychological distress
Built Environments and Cardiometabolic Morbidity and Mortality in Remote Indigenous Communities in the Northern Territory, Australia
The health of Indigenous Australians is dramatically poorer than that of the non-Indigenous population. Amelioration of these differences has proven difficult. In part, this is attributable to a conceptualisation which approaches health disparities from the perspective of individual-level health behaviours, less so the environmental conditions that shape collective health behaviours. This ecological study investigated associations between the bui…
Contributions of Multiple Built Environment Features to 10-Year Change in Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference in a South Australian Middle-Aged Cohort
Residential areas may shape health, yet few studies are longitudinal or concurrently test relationships between multiple residential features and health. This longitudinal study concurrently assessed the contributions of multiple environmental features to 10-year change in clinically measured body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Longitudinal data for adults (18+ years of age, n = 2253) from the north-west of Adelaide, Australia wer…
Associations between Community Environmental-Level Factors and Diet Quality in Geographically Isolated Australian Communities
Remote Indigenous Australians experience disproportionately poor cardio-metabolic health, which is largely underpinned by adverse dietary intake related to social determinants. Little evidence exists about the community environmental-level factors that shape diet quality in this geographically isolated population group. This study aimed to explore the modifiable environmental-level factors associated with the features of dietary intake that under…
Correlates of Discordance between Perceived and Objective Distances to Local Fruit and Vegetable Retailers
Background : Perceptions of neighbourhood attributes such as proximity of food retailers that are discordant with objective measures of the same are associated with poor health behaviours and weight gain. Factors associated with discordant perceptions are likely relevant to planning more effective interventions to improve health. Purpose : Analysis of cross-sectional relationships between individual and neighbourhood factors and overestimations o…

Concurrent assessment of urban environment and cardiometabolic risk over 10 years in a middle-aged population-based cohort
Inference regarding the impact of urban areas on health is limited by cross-sectional studies assessing few dimensions and ignoring area-level socio-economic status. This study simultaneously assessed several dimensions of the built environment against incident cardiometabolic risk (CMR) arising over 10 years. It tested the hypothesis that, accounting for local area relative wealth, features of the built environment would not predict incident CMR…
Are Perceived and Objective Distances to Fresh Food and Physical Activity Resources Associated with Cardiometabolic Risk
Perceived and objective measures of neighbourhood features have shown limited correspondence. Few studies have examined whether discordance between objective measures and individual perceptions of neighbourhood environments relates to individual health. Individuals with mismatched perceptions may benefit from initiatives to improve understandings of resource availability. This study utilised data from n = 1491 adult participants in a biomedical c…

Policy, Research and Residents’ Perspectives on Built Environments Implicated in Heart Disease
An underrepresentation of stakeholder perspectives within urban health research arguably limits our understanding of what is a multi-dimensional and complex relationship between the built environment and health. By engaging a wide range of stakeholders using a participatory concept mapping approach, this study aimed to achieve a more holistic and nuanced understanding of the built environments shaping disease risk, specifically cardiometabolic ri…
Local descriptive body weight and dietary norms, food availability, and 10-year change in glycosylated haemoglobin in an Australian population-based biomedical cohort
Local descriptive health-related norms, not food resource availability, predicted 10-year change in HbA 1c . Null findings for food resource availability may reflect a sufficiency or minimum threshold level of resources such that availability poses no barrier to obtaining healthful or unhealthful foods for this region. However, the influence of local descriptive norms varied according to food resource availability in effects on HbA 1c . Local des…

Neighbourhood socioeconomic status, maternal education and adverse birth outcomes among mothers living near highways
BACKGROUND: Residential proximity to highways is a potential proxy for exposure to traffic-related pollution that has been linked to adverse birth outcomes. We evaluated whether proximity to highway interacts with individual and neighbourhood socioeconomic status (SES) to influence birth outcomes. METHODS: The study population consisted of all live singleton births in Montréal, Canada, from 1997 to 2001 (n = 99,819). Proximity was defined as resi…

Do mother’s education and foreign born status interact to influence birth outcomes? Clarifying the epidemiological paradox and the healthy migrant effect
INTRODUCTION: The unresolved "epidemiological paradox" concerns the association between low socioeconomic status and unexpectedly favourable birth outcomes in foreign born mothers. The "healthy migrant" effect concerns the association between foreign born status per se and birth outcomes. The epidemiological paradox and healthy migrant effect were analysed for newborns in a favourable sociopolitical environment. METHODS: 98,330 live births to mot…
Impact Evaluation of a Public Bicycle Share Program on Cycling
Objectives. We examined associations between residential exposure to BIXI (BIcycle-taXI)—a public bicycle share program implemented in Montreal, Quebec, in 2009, which increases accessibility to cycling by making available 5050 bicycles at 405 bicycle docking stations—and likelihood of cycling (BIXI and non-BIXI) in Montreal over the first 2 years of implementation. Methods. Three population-based samples of adults participated in telephone surve…
Perceived Everyday Racism, Residential Segregation, and HIV Testing Among Patients at a Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic
Objectives. More than one quarter of HIV-infected people are undiagnosed and therefore unaware of their HIV-positive status. Blacks are disproportionately infected. Although perceived racism influences their attitudes toward HIV prevention, how racism influences their behaviors is unknown. We sought to determine whether perceiving everyday racism and racial segregation influence Black HIV testing behavior. Methods. This was a clinic-based, multil…

Notes on the Use and Interpretation of Discriminant Analysis
This article focuses on two problems in applications of discriminant analysis in political research: first, evaluating the success of classification, and, second, determining the importance of predictor variables when the classification variable is a polychotomy. Discussion of the former rejects the existing procedures for evaluating classification success and advances an empirical simulation technique that is more appropriate. Discussion of the …

As Time Goes By
Despite its initial momentum, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) failed to be approved by the margin of states required for ratification. Although many explanations have been advanced for the defeat of the ERA, one possible explanation that has been overlooked is the notion that the timing of a policy can largely determine its success or failure. The article examines the timing or “innovativeness,” with which the American states considered the rati…
Effects of skin thickness and skinfold compressibility on skinfold thickness measurement
Variability in both skin thickness and skinfold compressibility affects the relationship between the skinfold caliper reading at a particular site on the body and the actual adipose thickness at that site, thus inducing error in the estimation of body fatness. To investigate this variability, skinfold thickness by caliper and incised depth of subcutaneous adipose tissue were measured at 13 skinfold sites in 6 male and 7 female unembalmed cadavers…
Bone mineral density and adipose tissue distribution in young women
Interrelationships between anthropometric variables and bone mineral density (BMD) may allow simple and inexpensive identification of those at risk for low bone density and osteoporosis. Risk appraisal is particularly important in young women, as lifestyle modifications may slow the rate of bone loss through adulthood and decrease the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Though weight, height and body mass index are frequently assessed in relation…

Effectiveness of community-directed diabetes prevention and control in a rural Aboriginal population in British Columbia, Canada
Waist‐to‐hip ratio and adipose tissue distribution
The waist‐to‐hip ratio (WHR) reflects the relative distribution of adipose tissue in the human body. However, whether this is due to the musculoskeletal structures of the waist and hip or the overlying subcutaneous adipose tissue has been disputed. We measured waist and hip girths in 11 male and 11 female cadavers, aged 55–94 years, before and after complete removal of skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue. Girths measured following removal of sub…

Mastery, perceived stress and health-related behaviour in northeast Arnhem Land
Consistent with previous research, this study provides additional support for a link between mastery and health-related behaviour, and extends evidence of this association to a remote Indigenous population. Mastery's association with perceived stress, its age-specific association with health behaviour, and findings of low mastery amongst young men, highlights a need for life course research accounting for contextual factors affecting Indigenous p…
The effect of adherence on the association between depressive symptoms and mortality among HIV-infected individuals first initiating Haart
OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of depressive symptoms on mortality among HIV/AIDS patients first initiating HAART and the potential role of patient adherence as a confounder and effect modifier in this association. METHODS: The study comprised HIV-positive individuals who were first prescribed HAART between August 1996 and June 2002. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Cox proportiona…

Is Educational Inequality Protective
Galea and Ahern1 examined the ecological association between educational distribution and a range of population health outcomes. In one of their findings, Galea and Ahern reported that higher levels of educational inequality within New York City neighborhoods were associated with lower percentages of low birthweight. The finding contradicts the more frequently found association between higher levels of income-related inequality and unfavorable po…

Les inégalités sociales de santé au Québec
Partout dans le monde, on constate non seulement la persistance, mais bien le creusement des inégalités en matière de santé. Le Québec ne fait pas exception : on a estimé qu'environ cinq ans d'espérance de vie et près de quinze années de vie en bonne santé y séparent les populations les plus défavorisées des groupes les plus avantagés. Cet écart ne s'explique qu'en partie par l'inégale répartition des ressources matérielles. Les causes sont à l'é…
La création d’une nouvelle génération d’études épidémiologiques en santé mentale
Grâce à une subvention des Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC), il se développe actuellement une nouvelle génération d’études en épidémiologie sociale et psychiatrique dans une zone circonscrite se situant dans le sud-ouest de Montréal où vivent 258 000 personnes. Ce programme de recherche repose sur une étude prospective longitudinale visant à identifier les déterminants de la santé mentale de la population, et sur quatre études spé…
