This cross-sectional study used baseline data of 150,506 adult participants of the Lifelines study. To quantify obesogenicity of Dutch neighbourhoods, the Obesogenic Built Environment CharacterisTics (OBCT) index was used, calculated for 1000 m circular buffers around participant's residencies. Z-scores of components across food and physical activity (PA) environments were averaged, and rescaled from 0 to 100. Weight status was operationalised as objectively measured waist circumference. Stratified linear regression analyses by (self-reported) sociodemographic factors, perceived stress, impulsivity, self-discipline, and deliberation were conducted when interaction terms were significant (<em>P</em> &lt; .01). Mediation by adherence to the Dutch PA guidelines and dietary behaviour was examined using the difference-in-coefficients approach. Every 10% increase in OBCT index was associated with a 0.65 (<em>P</em> &lt; .001, 95%CI [0.59, 0.71]) centimetre larger waist circumference. The association was largest for respondents who were younger, had the lowest income, the highest educational level, the least self-discipline, the highest impulsivity scores and the most perceived stress. Adherence to PA guidelines and dietary behaviour mediated 13.3% of this association; however, the difference in coefficients was not statistically significant. Our findings enable to better target lifestyle interventions to individuals most vulnerable to obesogenic environments.

The aim of the present research was to assess the validity of secondary data sources of the retail food environment in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, an emerging Latin American country. A random sample of 106 census tracts was obtained, covering 12% (62 km²) of the city's total area. Two secondary data sources were considered: administrative records and Google Maps. An aggregate database was created by manually removing duplicates. A total of 1051 unique outlets were listed in the database within the census tracts included in the sample. Field validation was performed by six teams of two observers. A total of 1200 food outlets were identified on the ground, including 463 (38.6%) outlets not listed on any database. On the contrary, 297 outlets listed in the databases (28.3%) were not found or were closed at the time of field validation. At the aggregate level, sensitivity and concordance were moderate (0.614 and 0.487, respectively), whereas positive predictive value was substantial (0.701). However, large heterogeneity in the validity of the database across census tracts was found. Sensitivity, positive predictive value, and concordance were positively associated with the socio-economic status index of the census tract.

It traces this emergence and evolution from its origins in the 1989–91 introduction of the ‘internal market’ and the 1994 reintroduction of the National Lottery, through to New Labour health reforms, the introduction of austerity, and the Levelling Up programme in the present day. This paper finds that the term's concern with unfairness has enabled its incorporation into a range of political positions, both as a defence of universalism against market-based reforms in the NHS, and to rationalise distinctions between ‘unequal’ and ‘unfair’ disparities in health outcomes. We conclude that understanding and addressing place based differences and inequalities in health, healthcare, and health outcomes may be aided through investigation of cultural ideas and values as well as the deep histories of place and local services.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 103301"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1353829224001291/pdfft?md5=92c8323d871ab70a207fa09731b97a53&pid=1-s2.0-S1353829224001291-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142241209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
