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 ...

Quality appraisal of spatial epidemiology and health geography research: A scoping review of systematic reviews
Health Place. 2023 Aug 29;83:103108. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103108. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA scoping review of peer-reviewed literature was conducted to understand how systematic reviews assess the methodological quality of spatial epidemiology and health geography research. Fifty-nine eligible reviews were identified and included. Variations in the use of quality appraisal tools were found. Reviews applied existing quality appraisal tools with no adaptations (n = 32; 54%), existing quality appraisal tools with adaptations (n = 9; 15%), adapted tools or methods from other reviews (n = 13; 22%), and develope...

Analysis of the Dong bao Ye as sacred landscape and its Putative therapeutic mechanisms
This study takes the sacred bao ye landscape of the Dong people of China as the research subject. By adopting the case study approach, field research, semi-structured interviews, and textual analysis, it summarizes the types, geographical distribution, rituals and processes of bao ye as a sacred landscape of the Huanggang village in Guizhou Province, and concludes with an analysis of motivation and health benefits to the bao ye worship. In this paper we argue that bao ye is a sacred landscape system focusing on the healthy development of children, and constitutes a local belief developed in an isolated environment lacking ...

COVID-19 brought the water struggles in Ghana into our homes in Canada: Collective emotions and WASH struggles in distant locations during health emergencies
Health Place. 2023 Aug 25;83:103099. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103099.
