Abstract

Purpose of review: This narrative review aims to synthesize global literature on the relationship between cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and components of built environment (green spaces, walkability, food environment, accessibility and availability of recreational and healthcare facilities, and effects of air and noise pollution).

Recent findings: Increased green space and neighborhood walkability are associated with lower CVD mortality and morbidity; however, benefits have shown differential effects by socioeconomic status (SES). Air pollution is a leading environmental risk factor contributing to CVDs, and it disproportionately impacts low SES populations and women. Findings on relationships between food environment and CVDs are inconsistent and limited. This global review reports on the multifactorial and complex relationship between built environment and higher CVD risk and poor CVD outcomes. Future research can address an unmet need to understand this relationship with further depth and breadth, and to investigate resulting health disparities.

期刊介绍： The aim of this journal is to systematically provide expert views on current basic science and clinical advances in the field of atherosclerosis and highlight the most important developments likely to transform the field of cardiovascular prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. We accomplish this aim by appointing major authorities to serve as Section Editors who select leading experts from around the world to provide definitive reviews on key topics and papers published in the past year. We also provide supplementary reviews and commentaries from well-known figures in the field. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
