Simulating the impact of particulate matter exposure on health-related behaviour: A comparative study of stochastic modelling and personal monitoring data
Health Place. 2023 Sep 12;83:103111. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103111. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEpidemiological and exposure studies concerning particulate matter (PM) often rely on data from sparse governmental stations. While low-cost personal monitors have some drawbacks, recent developments have shown that they can provide fairly accurate and fit-for-purpose data. Comparing a stochastic, i.e., agent-based model (ABM), with environmental, biometric and activity data, collected with personal monitors, could provide insight into how the two approaches assess PM exposure and dose. An ABM was constructed, simulat...

Social environment characteristics are related to self-rated health in four Latin America countries: Evidence from the SALURBAL Project
Health Place. 2023 Sep 11;83:103110. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103110. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe investigated the associations of social and built environment and demographic features of urban areas with self-rated health among adults living in four Latin American countries. We estimated multilevel models with harmonized data from 69,840 adults, nested in 262 sub-cities and 112 cities, obtained from the Salud Urbana en América Latina project. Poor self-rated health was inversely associated with services provision score at the sub-city-level and with social environment index at the city-level. We did not ident...

Designing environments that contribute to a reduction in the progression of Parkinson's disease; a literature review
Health Place. 2023 Sep 11;83:103105. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103105. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParkinson's Disease (PD), a prevalent neurological disorder, causes physical difficulties like stiffness and impaired walking and affects patients' emotional well-being. Regular exercise and exposure to enriched environments are crucial to managing these symptoms. This review aims to extract evidence from studies regarding built environments' impact on reducing the progression of PD. Keywords from 2005 to 2022 were used in five databases, including PubMed, Clarivate Web of Science, UGA Library, and Google Scholar. Man...

The fluid hospital: On the making of care environments in COVID-19
Health Place. 2023 Sep 6;83:103107. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103107. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper explores the boundary-making practices enacted by the hospital. Taking a hospital in Sydney, Australia, as our case, we investigate how the hospital holds together as a care environment through the coordinating movements of many materials, spaces, bodies, technologies, and affects. Drawing on interviews with hospital healthcare workers involved in care, research, and management related to COVID-19, we examine the multiplying effects of these movements to trace the ways in which the hospital is (re)made in re...

Association of neighborhood gentrification and residential moves with hypertension and diabetes control in Los Angeles County, 2014-2019: A retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Residents of newly gentrifying neighborhoods may experience modestly improved odds of hypertension and/or diabetes control, but associations may differ across population subgroups.POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Gentrification may support-or at least not harm-cardiometabolic health for some residents. City leaders and health systems could partner with impacted communities to ensure that neighborhood development meets the goals and health needs of all residents and does not exacerbate health disparities.PMID:37660584 | DOI:10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103109 (Source: Health and Place)

Geographical variation in cardiovascular disease mortality in Norway: The role of life course socioeconomic position and parental health
Health Place. 2023 Aug 31;83:103095. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103095. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDespite substantial geographical variation in cardiovascular (CVD) mortality within countries, little is known about whether this variation can be explained by individuals' life course socioeconomic position (SEP) or differences in family history of premature CVD deaths. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the association between the county of residence at ages 50-59 and CVD death in Norwegians born between 1940 and 1959 and survived to at least age 60, using national data. Individual life course ...

Role of country of origin and state of residence for dietary change among foreign-born adults in the US
Health Place. 2023 Aug 31;83:103106. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103106. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlace of origin and place of current residence may shape migrants' health-related behaviors. Using the nationally-representative US New Immigrant Survey (n = 7930), we examined associations between country of origin, state of residence, and dietary changes among foreign-born adults. 65% of migrants reported dietary change since immigration (mean score = 7.3; range = 1-10); 6% of the variance was explained by country of origin characteristics; 1.6% by US state of residence; 1.4% by their interaction. Country of origin ...
