Abstract Background There is increasing interest in the study of place effects
on health, facilitated in part by geographic information systems. Incomplete or
missing address information reduces geocoding success. Several geographic
imputation methods have been suggested to overcome this limitation. Accuracy
evaluation of these methods can be focused at the level of individuals and at
higher group... hiện toàn bộ

Healthier urban environments influence the distribution of cardiovascular risk
factors. Our aim was to design and implement a multicomponent method based on
Geographic Information Systems to characterize and evaluate environmental
correlates of obesity: the food and the physical activity urban environments.
Study location comprised a socio-demographically average urban area of 12
contiguous census... hiện toàn bộ

Malaria, caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, is a significant source
of morbidity and mortality in southern Zambia. In the Mapanza Chiefdom, where
transmission is seasonal, Anopheles arabiensis is the dominant malaria vector.
The ability to predict larval habitats can help focus control measures. A survey
was conducted in March-April 2007, at the end of the rainy season, to identify
and ... hiện toàn bộ
Open source GIS for HIV/AIDS managementSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 1-16 - 2008

Reliable access to basic services can improve a community's resilience to
HIV/AIDS. Accordingly, work is being done to upgrade the physical infrastructure
in affected areas, often employing a strategy of decentralised service
provision. Spatial characteristics are one of the major determinants in
implementing services, even in the smaller municipal areas, and good quality
spatial information is ne... hiện toàn bộ

A better understanding of lifestyle behaviours of children < 7 years and the
relation with childhood overweight is needed. The aim of our prospective study
was to examine how lifestyle patterns in young children are associated with the
development of childhood overweight. As ecological models suggest focusing on
not only the child as an individual, but also their environment, we also
considered th... hiện toàn bộ

Hiện nay tại Hoa Kỳ, người ta khuyến nghị rằng các chương trình sàng lọc và điều
trị bệnh lao nên nhắm vào các nhóm có nguy cơ cao. Mặc dù một chiến lược về việc
thử nghiệm và điều trị cho những người có khả năng phát triển bệnh lao là hấp
dẫn, nhưng vẫn chưa rõ cách tốt nhất để đạt được mục tiêu này. Trong nghiên cứu
này, chúng tôi tìm cách xác định các khu vực địa lý nơi có sự lây truyền bệnh
