Abstract:

Over the past three decades there has been a significant increase in adiposity - prevalence of accumulation of excess fat around some human organs - globally. This has been characterised by an increase of body mass index (BMI) among men and women. In Sub-Sahara Africa, South Africa has one of the highest prevalence of obesity and the country currently experiences some epidemiological transitions. Excess adiposity is a major risk factor for a number of non-communicable diseases creating a burden for individuals, families, the health care system and society at large (Colditz, 1999). Therefore, t

Abstract:

Background - Residents of more deprived and socially fragmented neighbourhoods are more likely to suffer from poor physical health and severe psychiatric morbidity than individuals living in more affluent and socially cohesive neighbourhoods. However, this pattern is less clear for more common psychological outcomes such as depression, anxiety and psychological traits such as self-esteem in early adolescence. In particular, the relationship between adolescent mental health and psychological traits may vary by national context. Two hypotheses broadly frame these variations: the deprivation ampl

Abstract:

Population ageing and the tendency for older adults to have poorer health status than younger adults have raised concerns about potential increases in the number of elderly suffering disease and disability. Significantly, many health problems experienced in later life are associated with the onset of a more sedentary lifestyle. Increasing older adults' participation in leisure time physical activity (henceforth LTPA) offers an opportunity to reduce the prevalence of preventable morbidity in later life and offset a potential burden of ageing on the public health sector. As a forerunner to the d

Abstract:

There is a long history of research showing that material deprivation indicators are important predictors of health inequalities. The gap between the richest and poorest members of society is more predictive' of ill-health than the deprivation per se in countries that are above a certain income threshold level. However, although . . . , demonstrated across nations and states, the exact nature of the association between the context of the local area and local health outcomes is unclear. The aim of this thesis is to examine area effects on health inequalities. It explores whether the socioeconom

Abstract:

This thesis is an attempt to better understand the inter-relationship between deprivation, locality and health. This study explores the views of different residents in St Ann s, a deprived neighbourhood in Nottingham, to find out how they make sense of their health. The thesis is based on some participant observation in the area but mainly draws on qualitative interviews with diverse residents in St Ann's: (including, in particular, working-class older adults of different ethnicities; some working-class parents with children; middle-class younger adults living in the area; and activists and pr

Abstract:

Obesity is becoming a worldwide concern, with more than 300 million individuals who are obese and a further 750 million who are overweight. This increase is important as obesity has been linked to an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, type two diabetes mellitus, stroke and some cancers. One factor receiving increasing attention to explain variation in obesity prevalence is the role of the built environment. This involves examining how features of the built environment such as green space or food premises vary by neighbourhood area. The presence of such resources within a neighb

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Urban air pollution is a complex mixture composed of hundreds of different solids, liquids, and gases. Some pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide, are highly variable at a local scale, such that the variability in concentrations within cities can be greater than the variability between cities. Long-term exposures to air pollution have been associated with many health outcomes, and there is evidence that individuals of lower socioeconomic status may be more vulnerable to the effects of exposure. Associations between exposure to ambient air pollution and the incidence of breast cancer

Abstract:

Much of the public policy discourse about immigration in the UK has drawn on the experiences of post-war immigrants from the former British colonies. The volume and composition of immigration flows has changed significantly in recent years with substantial increases in the number of immigrants, particularly from countries without links to the UK, and as a result of the large scale immigration from the EU Accession countries in Central and Eastern Europe. Immigration remains a contested issue with public and political debates focusing on the nature and impact of immigration and its perceived ne

Abstract:

Most studies of 'cohesion' between urban residents focus separately on either social network structure or ideations with very little attention given to the intersection between spatial, structural and ideational dimensions of networks. This is problematic on two levels: firstly because attitudes and practices are formed in the context of personal social networks; and secondly because social interactions between residents are physically embodied and therefore spatially constrained. This thesis explores empirically the relationship between spatial cohesion (the extent to which a network is geogr

Abstract:

Background: The human secondary sex ratio has been the subject of long-standing medical, environmental and social scientific curiosity and research. A decline in male birth proportion in some industrialised countries is linked to endocrine disruption and is validated by some empirical studies. Increasing parental age and population stress and associated decreases in sex ratio have also been demonstrated. A thorough literature review of 123 relevant and diverse studies provides context for these assessments. Methods: A spatial-temporal investigation of birth sex ratio in Scotland and potential

Abstract:

Arthritis is a growing aging and public health concern in Canada and elsewhere. As with many other chronic health conditions, arthritis occurs more often and has a higher impact on functioning for people who have lower incomes or live in an impoverished environment. There is a large body of research that supports a gradient between socioeconomic status and health and between area level poverty and decreased quality of life. Although this relationship is widely acknowledged, less is known about the influence of broader social conditions at the neighbourhood level on health outcomes. By examinin

Abstract:

Yes<br>The frequency of visits to Emergency Departments (ED) varies greatly between populations. This may reflect variation in patient behaviour, need, accessibility, and service configuration as well as the complex interactions between these factors. This study investigates the relationship between distance, socio-economic deprivation, and proximity to an alternative care setting (a Minor Injuries Unit (MIU)), with particular attention to the interaction between distance and deprivation. It is set in a population of approximately 5.4 million living in central England, which is highly heteroge

Background: Injury is an enormous public health problem in Canada.

Abstract:

La prévalence du tabagisme a diminué dans les dernières décennies, mais les inégalités sociales reliées au tabagisme s’accentuent. Les stratégies de dénormalisation du tabagisme ont amené la stigmatisation des fumeurs. Le lien entre celle-ci et la défavorisation de quartier est mal compris. Cette étude qualitative a comparé les expériences de stigmatisation de quinze jeunes femmes fumeuses dont la moitié vivait dans des quartiers très défavorisés de Montréal et l’autre moitié résidait dans les quartiers les moins défavorisés. Dans ces derniers, stigmatiser les fumeurs fait partie de la norme.
