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 limitati...... 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

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 la...... hiện toàn bộ
