Abstract Background Population growth, population ageing, and urbanisation are major global demographic trends that call for an examination of the impact urban densification on older adults’ health-enhancing behaviours, such as walking. No studies have examined pathways through which may affect This information is key to evidence-based, health-oriented transport planning. study aimed identify neighbourhood environment characteristics potentially responsible effects frequency amount...
We applied cartographic and geostatistical methods in analyzing the patterns of disease spread during 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak Hong Kong using geographic information system (GIS) technology. analyzed an integrated database that contained clinical personal details on all 1,755 patients confirmed to have SARS from 15 February 22 June 2003. Elementary mapping occurrences space time simultaneously revealed extent throughout territory. Statistical surfaces created by...
COVID-19 reaffirms the vital role of superspreaders in a pandemic. We propose to broaden research on through integrating human mobility data and geographical factors identify superspreading environment. Six types popular public facilities were selected: bars, shopping centres, karaoke/cinemas, mega malls, libraries, sports centres. A historical dataset was used calculate generalized activity space space-time prism individuals during pre-pandemic period. Analysis geographic interconnections...
Many studies have examined neighbourhood environmental correlates of older adults' physical activity (PA) but only a few focused on sedentary time (ST). Only small proportion these used objective measures PA/ST, such as accelerometer-assessed and couple employed accelerometer cut-points appropriate for adults. Furthermore, although adults experience declines in function they age, there is dearth information the impact environment PA/ST individuals with different levels function.We data from...
