Introduction Childhood obesity and physical inactivity are two of the most significant modifiable risk factors for prevention non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Yet, a third children in Wales Australia overweight or obese, only 20% UK Australian sufficiently active. The purpose Built Environments And Child Health WalEs AuStralia (BEACHES) study is to identify understand how complex interacting built environment influence NCDs across childhood. Methods analysis This an observational using data...
BackgroundAustralia possesses valuable population health data, yet its potential for advancing medical product development remains largely untapped. Transformative growth in the use of linked data clinical trials will support Australia’s therapeutic sector to be more responsive new therapeutics and monitoring surveillance their safety effectiveness. MethodsWe conducted interviews with trialists linkage experts understand current state awareness within sector, identify existing pain points...
BackgroundChild poverty remains a major global concern and child's experience of deprivation is heavily shaped by where they live the stability their local neighbourhood. This study examines frequencies patterns residential mobility in children young people (CYP) at population level using novel geospatial techniques to assess how often physical environment changes identify geographical variations social mobility.MethodsWe used routinely collected administrative records held Secure Anonymised...
Abstract Purpose Bikeability is an emerging concept that quantifies the perceived comfort and convenience of accessing important destinations by bike. Existing bikeability indices are limited to adults, single, large cities use restricted GIS sources. The aims this study (1) identify environment characteristics related for a bikeable neighbourhood can be analysed using open data (2) find associations between measures cycling behaviour in adolescents across Germany.

ObjectivesYouth obesity has increased substantially in recent decades; however, the potential role of built environment mitigating these trends is unclear. This study examines whether more walkable neighbourhoods are associated with lower levels overweight/obesity for adolescents compared to less neighbourhoods, after considering socio-economic and lifestyle characteristics.

ObjectivesIn Wales almost a quarter of adults and 1 in 8 reception age children are obese. Linked data is key tool to understanding the role built environment on obesity rates an important part developing strategies combat epidemic Wales.
 ApproachWe set out develop analytical platform for generating evidence aspects which impact child adult including; walkability, fast food availability, green space size qualities, active transport routes school environments. Utilising Secure...
