Social factors, health policy, and environment: implications for cardiovascular disease across the globe

European Heart Journal, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 22, 2025

Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of deaths worldwide, with 80% occurring in low- and middle-income countries. These countries are characterized by rapid urbanization, poorly funded health systems, poor access to prevention treatment strategies, increasing age a higher prevalence chronic disease. Rapid urbanization has contributed significant environmental societal changes affecting daily life habits cardiovascular health. There growing awareness that social exposures policies can influence CVD directly or through behavioural risk factors. However, much this knowledge comes from studies high-income applied without evidence indicate appropriate. This state-of-the-art review will present synthesize key findings Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology study related have aimed understand environmental, social, policy determinants across varying levels economic development an urban/rural lens. Emerging these future research recommendations accelerate reduction global burden CVD.

Effects of neighborhood streetscape on the single-family housing price: Focusing on nonlinear and interaction effects using interpretable machine learning

PLoS ONE, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 20(5), P. e0323495 - e0323495

Published: May 21, 2025

Previous studies using the conventional Hedonic Price Model to predict existing housing prices may have limitations in addressing relationship between house and streetscapes as visually perceived at human eye level, due constraints of streetscape estimations. Therefore, this study, we analyzed level single-family home Seoul, Korea, computer vision technology machine learning algorithms. We used transaction data for 13,776 sales 2017 2019. To measure streetscapes, study Deeplab V3 + deep-learning model with 233,106 Google Street View panoramic images. Then, best machine-learning was selected by comparing explanatory powers hedonic price all alternative models. According results, Gradient Boost model, a representative ensemble performed better than XGBoost, Random Forest, Linear Regression models predicting prices. In addition, an interpretable SHAP method identify key features that affect prediction. This solves “black box” problem Finally, analyzing nonlinear interaction effects characteristics prices, easily quickly identified variables partially considers.

Neighbourhood environments and cognitive health in the longitudinal Personality and Total Health (PATH) through life study: A 12-year follow-up of older Australians

Environment International, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 191, P. 108984 - 108984

Published: Aug. 25, 2024

Urban neighbourhood environments may impact older adults' cognitive health. However, longitudinal studies examining key environmental correlates of health are lacking. We estimated cross-sectional and associations built natural ambient air pollution with multiple outcomes in Australian urban dwellers aged 60+ years. The study included 1160 participants the PATH Through Life (60+ cohort) who were followed up for 12 years (four assessments; 2001/02 to 2013/15) data on socio-demographics, health, functions diagnoses, full residential address. Neighbourhood features encompassed population street-intersection densities, non-commercial land use mix, transit points, presence blue space, percentages commercial land, parkland tree cover, annual average PM2.5 NO2 concentrations. All exposures except cover assessed at two time points. Generalised additive mixed models person-level average, within-person changes in, functions. Multi-state hidden Markov attributes transitions to/from mild impairment (MCI). Dense, destination-rich neighbourhoods associated a lower likelihood transition MCI reversal no MCI. Positive street intersection density percentage observed especially global cognition processing speed. While access spaces risk MCI, findings related supportive an effect verbal memory only. Higher levels consistently steeper declines and/or decreases worse states across time. To support ageing populations, need provide optimal mix complexity, destinations environment and, same time, minimise pollution.

Relationship between exposure to fine particulate matter and cardiovascular risk factors and the modifying effect of socioeconomic status: a cross-sectional study in Beijing, China

Frontiers in Public Health, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: July 19, 2024

Accumulating research suggested that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is related cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, evidence regarding the relationship between PM and CVD risk factors remains inconsistent. We hypothesized this association may be partially modified by socioeconomic status (SES). To investigate relationships test modifying effect of SES, we included baseline data for 21,018 adults from September 2017 May 2018. concentrations were determined employing an amalgamation linear measurements obtained monitoring stations located near participants' residential workplace addresses. assessed SES across several domains, including income, education, occupation levels, as well through a composite index. The results indicated every 10 μg/m3 increase in exposure, hypercholesterolemia, hyperbetalipoproteinemia, diabetes, hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) increased 7.7% [Odds ratio (OR) = 1.077, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.011, 1.146], 19.6% (OR 1.196, CI 1.091, 1.312), 4.2% 1.042, 1.002, 1.084), 17.1% 1.171, 1.133, 1.209), respectively. Compared high group, those with low are more prone HHcy. Notably, disparities appear significant hypercholesterolemia hyperbetalipoproteinemia. But diabetes HHcy, modification on shows inconsistent pattern. In conclusion, confirm significantly amplified adverse dyslipidemia. It crucial emphasize need improve inequality among Beijing contribute understanding urgency protecting health vulnerable groups.

Planning strategies and infrastructure development supporting physical activity: analyzing municipal compact city plans in Japan

Frontiers of Urban and Rural Planning, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 2(1)

Published: Sept. 30, 2024

Abstract Aligned with global goals for healthy and sustainable cities, urban compactness significantly promotes residents’ transport-related physical activity health. In Japan, amid demographic changes, municipalities have begun formulating Location Normalization Plans focused on making cities more compact. This study examines the associations between health considerations in plans, including Plans, characteristics of municipalities, development infrastructure that supports leisure-time activity. Analyzing responses from 725 1,374 Japanese our research reveals 38% plans integrated goals/visions, 28% recognized these as challenges. The such sports facilities (48%), metropolitan parks (21%), bicycle paths (14%) was prevalent larger municipalities. However, incorporation planning goals/visions or challenges not exclusive to municipalities; smaller ones also demonstrated this capability. Logistic regression analyses revealed included their plans’ were likely develop renovate infrastructure. Prioritizing has potential support activity, helping create cities.
