Characterizing physical activity and food urban environments: a GIS-based multicomponent proposal
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 1-13 - 2016
Alba Cebrecos, Julia Díez, Pedro Gullón, Usama Bilal, Manuel Franco, Francisco Escobar
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
Regional variation in lifestyle patterns and BMI in young children: the GECKO Drenthe cohort
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 1-14 - 2022
Rikstje Wiersma, Richard H. Rijnks, Gianni Bocca, H. Marike Boezen, Esther Hartman, Eva Corpeleijn
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

‘Social, innovative and smart cities are happy and resilient’: insights from the WHO EURO 2014 International Healthy Cities Conference
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 1-9 - 2015
Maged N Kamel Boulos, Agis D Tsouros, Arto Holopainen
This paper provides a brief overview of, and elaborates on, some of the presentations, discussions and conclusions from Day 4 of the ‘WHO EURO 2014 International Healthy Cities Conference: Health and the City - Urban Living in the 21st Century’, held in Athens, Greece on 25 October 2014. The Internet of Things (IoT) is made of sensors and other components that connect our version of the world made...... hiện toàn bộ
Modeling larval malaria vector habitat locations using landscape features and cumulative precipitation measures
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 1-12 - 2014
Robert S McCann, Joseph P Messina, David W MacFarlane, M Nabie Bayoh, John M Vulule, John E Gimnig, Edward D Walker
Predictive models of malaria vector larval habitat locations may provide a basis for understanding the spatial determinants of malaria transmission. We used four landscape variables (topographic wetness index [TWI], soil type, land use-land cover, and distance to stream) and accumulated precipitation to model larval habitat locations in a region of western Kenya through two methods: logistic regre...... hiện toàn bộ
Ecology and geography of avian influenza (HPAI H5N1) transmission in the Middle East and northeastern Africa
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2009

Dynamic assessment of exposure to air pollution using mobile phone data
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 1-14 - 2016
Bart Dewulf, Tijs Neutens, Wouter Lefebvre, Gerdy Seynaeve, Charlotte Vanpoucke, Carolien Beckx, Nico Van de Weghe
Exposure to air pollution can have major health impacts, such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Traditionally, only the air pollution concentration at the home location is taken into account in health impact assessments and epidemiological studies. Neglecting individual travel patterns can lead to a bias in air pollution exposure assessments. In this work, we present a novel approach to ...... hiện toàn bộ
Methods to measure potential spatial access to delivery care in low- and middle-income countries: a case study in rural Ghana
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 1-13 - 2014
Robin C Nesbitt, Sabine Gabrysch, Alexandra Laub, Seyi Soremekun, Alexander Manu, Betty R Kirkwood, Seeba Amenga-Etego, Kenneth Wiru, Bernhard Höfle, Chris Grundy
Access to skilled attendance at childbirth is crucial to reduce maternal and newborn mortality. Several different measures of geographic access are used concurrently in public health research, with the assumption that sophisticated methods are generally better. Most of the evidence for this assumption comes from methodological comparisons in high-income countries. We compare different measures of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of tests for spatial heterogeneity on data with global clustering patterns and outliers
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 1-14 - 2009
Monica C Jackson, Lan Huang, Jun Luo, Mark Hachey, Eric Feuer
The ability to evaluate geographic heterogeneity of cancer incidence and mortality is important in cancer surveillance. Many statistical methods for evaluating global clustering and local cluster patterns are developed and have been examined by many simulation studies. However, the performance of these methods on two extreme cases (global clustering evaluation and local anomaly (outlier) detection...... hiện toàn bộ
Physical accessibility and utilization of health services in Yemen
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 1-8 - 2010
Abdullah Al-Taiar, Allan Clark, Joseph C Longenecker, Christopher JM Whitty
Assessment of physical access to health services is extremely important for planning. Complex methods that incorporate data inputs from road networks and transport systems are used to assess physical access to healthcare in industrialised countries. However, such data inputs hardly exist in many developing countries. Straight-line distances between the service provider and resident population are ...... hiện toàn bộ
