Obesity and Urban Environments [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2019
Obesity is a major public health issue, affecting both developed and developing societies. Obesity increases the risk for heart disease, stroke, some cancers, and type II diabetes. While individual behaviours are important risk factors, impacts on obesity and overweight of the urban physical and social environment have figured large in the recent ...

Long-Term Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Impact Factors of Land Surface Temperature of Inhabited Islands with Different Urbanization Levels

Remote Sensing, 2022
Surface thermal environment (STE) is closely related to the comfort and health of residents, affecting regional livability, and its spatial and temporal changes are deeply affected by the urbanization process.

Exploring the Relationship between the Spatial Distribution of Different Age Populations and Points of Interest (POI) in China

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2022
Population spatialization data is crucial to conducting scientific studies of coupled human–environment systems. Although significant progress has been made in population spatialization, the spatialization of different age populations is still weak.

An Improved Method of Determining Human Population Distribution Based on Luojia 1-01 Nighttime Light Imagery and Road Network Data—A Case Study of the City of Shenzhen

Sensors, 2020
Previously published studies on population distribution were based on the provincial level, while the number of urban-level studies is more limited. In addition, the rough spatial resolution of traditional nighttime light (NTL) data has limited their ...
