Is objectively measured exposure to built and natural environment associated with population-level cardiovascular disease mortality in Great Britain
Findings have clear policy implications, suggesting prioritisation of reductions in air pollution-particularly in deprived areas-while promoting walkability and tree cover to reduce health inequalities. Unexpected positive associations between 'goods' and mortality highlight that complex neighbourhood effects warrant further study
Risky outdoor play in the early years
Against a backdrop of generational declines in outdoor play and recent work demonstrating geo-cultural differences in adult perceptions of risk in outdoor play, this paper explores the relationships between gatekeeper (parent/practitioner) perceptions of dangers and benefits in outdoor risky play scenarios and young children's (aged 2-5 years old) experiences of outdoor play in Scotland, and whether these are moderated by being a parent or practi…
Inequalities in neighbourhood features within children's 20-minute neighbourhoods and variation in time spent locally, measured using GPS
There has been a growing interest in policies that encourage local living by promoting accessible and walkable communities, such as the 20-minute neighbourhood concept. Despite the widespread adoption of this policy in cities worldwide, little research has been conducted on the characteristics of children's 20-minute neighbourhoods and their association with time spent locally. This study aimed to explore the features of Scottish children's 20-mi…
Elementary Classroom Views of Nature Are Associated with Lower Child Externalizing Behavior Problems
Exposure to nature views has been associated with diverse mental health and cognitive capacity benefits. Yet, much of this evidence was derived in adult samples and typically only involves residential views of nature. Findings from studies with children suggest that when more greenness is available at home or school, children have higher academic performance and have expedited attention restoration, although most studies utilize coarse or subject…
Impact of built environment change on all-cause and cause-specific mortality
BACKGROUND: Public health research increasingly acknowledges the influence of built environments (BE) on health; however, it is uncertain how BE change is associated with better population health and whether BE change can help narrow health inequalities. This knowledge gap is partly due to a lack of suitable longitudinal BE data in most countries. We devised a method to quantify BE change longitudinally and explored associations with mortality. T…
Day-to-day intrapersonal variability in mobility patterns and association with perceived stress
Many aspects of our life are related to our mobility patterns and individuals can exhibit strong tendencies towards routine in their daily lives. Intrapersonal day-to-day variability in mobility patterns has been associated with mental health outcomes. The study aims were: (a) calculate intrapersonal day-to-day variability in mobility metrics for three cities; (b) explore interpersonal variability in mobility metrics by sex, season and city, and …
Neighbourhood natural space and the narrowing of socioeconomic inequality in years of life lost
BACKGROUND: Natural space is associated with reduced risk of, and narrower socioeconomic inequalities in, diseases that affect older populations, and some contributors to premature mortality in younger individuals. Burden of disease measures such as years of life lost (YLL) are influenced by premature poor health and death. We hypothesised some association between natural space and both rates of and inequalities in YLL might be present. METHODS: …
Neighbourhood natural space and the narrowing of socioeconomic inequality in children's social, emotional, and behavioural wellbeing
The natural environment could be a lever to benefit those from less advantaged backgrounds, particularly the development of prosocial behaviours
Do neighbourhood characteristics matter in understanding school children’s active lifestyles? A cross-region multi-city comparison of Glasgow, Edinburgh and Hong Kong
Many studies have explored the influence of individual and neighbourhood factors on active school travel (AST), this novel study is the first to examine how AST and formal extracurricular activities are associated with children's active lifestyles. The aims of this study were to (a) create an active lifestyle variable (ALIFE) measured in terms of total weekly minutes of AST and extracurricular activities, and (b) explore how ALIFE is associated w…
Are urban landscapes associated with reported life satisfaction and inequalities in life satisfaction at the city level? A cross-sectional study of 66 European cities
Walkability around primary schools and area deprivation across Scotland
WS differ by deprivation with patterns varying depending on the spatial scale of the analysis. It is essential that less walkable areas are provided with the resources to improve opportunities to engage in active travel
