The built environment and overweight in Shanghai: Examining differences in urban and rural contexts
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper applied binary logit regression models to explore how the built environment was associated with overweight, using a sample of 1350 adults from urban (the built-up area) and rural (Chongming Island) areas in Shanghai.

Effects of buffer size on associations between the built environment and metro ridership: A machine learning-based sensitive analysis
Xiang Liu,Xiaohong Chen,Mingshu Tian,Jonas De Vos +3 more
TL;DR: This study examines the impact of buffer size on associations between built environment and metro ridership using machine learning, finding that a 600m buffer size yields the best model fit and variation explanation, and that buffer size choice significantly affects model results.

Associations Between Built Environment Characteristics and Walking in Older Adults in a High-Density City: A Study From a Chinese Megacity.
TL;DR: It is found that there was no significant correlation between the four indicators of walkability and transport-related walking in the elderly, and only one indicator was related to leisure-time walking.
Implications of construction method and spatial scale on measures of the built environment.
TL;DR: Operationalizing and developing BE measures using alternative methods at varying spatial scales before connecting to health outcomes allows researchers to better understand how methodological decisions may affect associations between health outcomes and BE measures.

TL;DR: There are evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for most major behavioral health risks, including tobacco use, unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle, risky drinking, and diabetes management and there are parallel research-based guidelines for the health care system changes and policies needed to assure their delivery and use.

Effect of physical inactivity on major non-communicable diseases worldwide: an analysis of burden of disease and life expectancy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the effect of physical inactivity on these major non-communicable diseases by estimating how much disease could be averted if inactive people were to become active and to estimate gain in life expectancy at the population level.
