Over the last two decades, the FE has changed due to lifestyle changes, globalization, economic disparities, and supermarketization. In addition, research on the food environment has focused mostly on high-income countries. Our study shows the novelty of assessing the food environment using the market food diversity (MFD) in Nairobi, a rapidly urbanizing city. We assessed the food environment of three income regions of Nairobi-using market food diversity derived from the Minimum Dietary Diversity of Women (MDD-W) tool. In August-December 2023, we used the Global Positioning System (GPS) and a list-based questionnaire to map 3548 food vendors. Descriptive statistics show that informal vendors (86%) dominated across the three income regions compared to formal vendors (14%). The high-income region was characterized by the presence of more formal vendors (24.2%) compared to the other income regions. There were statistically significant differences in food group variations among vendors. The study shows that unhealthy foods remain dominant across the three income regions. Market food diversity was highest in the high-income (3.11) region compared to the low- (2.71) and middle-income (2.35) regions. Our results underscore the need for policy implementation that supports local food environments that promote access to healthier and more nutritious diets, particularly in rapidly urbanizing cities of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) such as Nairobi. Distinguishing income regions highlights the need for local policy officials to intervene to promote access to much healthier foods across the settlements.</p>","PeriodicalId":49964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Health-Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"742-759"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12484525/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145024716","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}

Living in gayborhoods may foster a sense of community and belonging that can be particularly beneficial for sexual minority men. However, existing research on gayborhoods has predominantly centered on the experiences of White gay men. The extent to which gayborhoods serve as an inclusive space for ethnically diverse sexual minority men remains largely unexplored. This paper examines the associations of gayborhood residence with LGBTQ + community connectedness, psychological distress, and substance use among ethnically diverse sexual minority men. Utilizing data from the 2023 Gay Asian Men Survey, this paper included 1071 cisgender sexual minority men of Asian backgrounds in Australia. The results indicated that older, middle-class, and gay men were more likely to live in gayborhoods than their younger, lower-class, and bisexual counterparts. The mediation analysis revealed the coexistence of positive and negative impacts of living in gayborhoods. Specifically, gayborhood residence was positively associated with LGBTQ + community connectedness, which was in turn associated with reduced levels of psychological distress but heightened levels of alcohol and drug use. The findings have significant implications for community organizing, mental health support, and substance use prevention. While leveraging gayborhoods to foster support networks and improve mental health among Asian sexual minority men is beneficial, it is equally crucial to address the pressures associated with conforming to community norms, particularly regarding social drinking and recreational drug use.</p>","PeriodicalId":49964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Health-Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"940-951"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12484450/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145066344","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}

In terms of scale and geography, findings suggest that studies about large-size interventions were mostly in the Global South (Middle East and African regions specifically), and studies on small and medium-sized interventions were in the Global North (United States, Canada and Australia specifically). For theory, findings point to two broad theoretical domains: relationality and materialist, and less attention to food and environmental justice.

However, the health and wellbeing impacts that these interventions have had on different demographic groups are not well understood. Feminist urbanists have often critiqued hierarchical and non-participatory approaches to urban design for the detrimental impact they may have on women and minority groups. With x-minute neighborhood policies gaining popularity in urban planning across the world, gathering evidence on the potential gendered health and wellbeing inequalities impacts of these policies is a salient issue. Our research questions were as follows: (1) In the existing literature, what is known about the health and wellbeing impacts of SUDMs on women? (2) What mechanistic pathways are outlined in existing literature from SUDMs to gendered health outcomes? This review searched Medline, SCOPUS, Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and ASSIA. A broad range of outcomes was included in the search, from physical and mental health and wellbeing to health behaviors. We searched for empirical papers published in English before January 1st, 2024, without limiting the search by year or country of publication. Screening was performed on Rayyan with 15% of records double-screened. Critical appraisal was conducted using the AXIS tool for cross-sectional studies and CASP cohort checklist for longitudinal studies. Narrative synthesis was used to explore results in depth, with an effect-direction plot used to visually summarize findings. The initial search returned 1263 records. After duplicates were removed, 1194 records remained for screening. Of these, 301 were included for full-text screening, with 25 included for data extraction. Most of the included papers explored associations between SUDMs and women's physical activity. These relationships were typically positive, although some found no significant associations. Papers which explored the gendered mechanisms leading to outcomes tended to posit that having more convenient non-motorized access to a range of destinations on foot helped women to balance their paid and unpaid labor, leading to increased physical activity. Increased safety and reduced social isolation within SUDMs were also hypothesized as key contributing factors to women's increased physical activity.

We tested the association between per capita spending in programming, maintenance, and total spending in 2022 by Depts. of Parks and Recreation in 10 Southern California cities and health outcomes among 732,504 adult members of Kaiser Permanente in 2022-2023 accounting for multiple factors. For every $30 per capita spent on programming, the prevalence ratios were lower: 0.87 for stroke (CI 0.84-0.90), 0.87 for heart failure (CI 0.84-0.89), 0.92 for atrial fibrillation (CI 0.90-0.95), 0.93 for coronary heart disease (CI 0.91-0.95), 0.94 for obesity (CI 0.93-0.95), 0.96 for type 2 diabetes (CI 0.95-0.97), and 0.96 for hypertension (CI 0.96-0.97). It is likely that programming has a stronger relationship than park maintenance with health outcomes because sports, exercise classes, and events (5 K walks and runs) more strongly attract park visitors and support physical activity (PA). While this novel study is promising, a longitudinal study is needed to prove causality.</p>","PeriodicalId":49964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Health-Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"848-856"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12484464/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144976257","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}
