Physical activity is essential for health; walking the easiest way to incorporate into everyday life. Previous studies report positive associations between neighbourhood walkability and but most focused on cities in North America Australasia. Urban form with respect street connectivity, residential density land use mix—common components of indices—differs European cities. The objective this study was develop a index London test using data from Whitehall II Study. A constructed, comprising...
There is a lack of tools to identify and measure community severance caused by large roads motorised traffic, despite the evidence its negative impacts on local communities. This paper reports development suite value severance, undertaken as part Street Mobility Network Accessibility research project. The include participatory mapping, spatial analysis, video survey, street audits, health neighbourhood mobility valuation tool based stated preference survey. They were tested in area around...
We examined the associations between road traffic conditions, walking, and positive mental wellbeing among survey participants in four urban neighbourhoods England bisected by busy roads (N = 708). Sequential models were fitted, examining objective perceived conditions (volume speed); ability to walk locally use roads; perceptions of roads, wellbeing. Our study had three main findings. Firstly, about volumes speeds formed jointly depend on composition how speed varies during day relates...
Introduction There is limited research on the health outcomes of children who have migrated, or whose parents to UK.

Logistic regression...
Aspects of community severance (the separation people from goods, services, and each other by busy roads or transport infrastructure) have been linked to poor health wellbeing, but few studies examined this relationship. We created a novel index for estimated its association with the self-rated adults in Great Britain. Data were collected nationally representative online panel survey 4,111 participants, February–July 2016. To construct an index, polychoric factor analysis (suitable ordinal...
In Mexico, 75% of the population are affected by overweight or obesity, and availability affordability high-calorie-dense foods beverages high. This study tested association between retail food environment index (RFEI), dietary patterns, body mass (BMI), socioeconomic position (SEP) in Mexico. Cross-sectional diet, health, sociodemographic population-based secondary data analyses were conducted. The RFEI was calculated dividing total number fast-food outlets convenience stores supermarkets...
The nucleotide oligomerization binding domain 2 gene (NOD2) encodes an intracellular receptor for bacterial components, which is expressed in monocytes and associated with Crohn's Disease (CD). This finding, along epidemiological evidence, supports a role infection the pathogenesis of CD. Speculation that mycobacteria are involved CD led us to investigate NOD2 susceptibility tuberculosis (TB), global public health problem caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. CD-associated variants were...
Abstract Research using data for the United States has pointed towards a long‐term pattern of falling migration rates. Similar research in England and Wales also found declining rates when observing all migrants. Using Office National Statistics Longitudinal Study (ONS LS), we study patterns observed over 10‐year periods persons birth cohorts each intercensal period from 1971–1981 through to 2001–2011. When sample population is considered as whole, results LS are consistent with earlier...
<h3>Background</h3> Obesity is a worldwide public health issue. Many factors contribute to this: holistic approach required tackle it. Due the rapid increase in obesity many parts of world, food environment and its effect on has been an increasing topic study. Mexico one highest prevalence rates world: 70% Mexican population overweight or obese. Furthermore, country gone through dietary retail transition. The aim this ongoing study explore association between density different outlets...
Abstract Aim To develop the ‘Stronger Towns Index': a deprivation index that took into account characteristics of areas encompassing towns may be eligible for redevelopment funding and explore how this was associated with self-rated health migration within England between 2001 2011. Subject methods All members ONS Longitudinal Study in aged 16 over whose records included response valid local authority code. Local authorities were ranked using composite developed five metrics set out Stronger...
