🚶 New in JournalUrbanHealth: in 1,286 older Mediterranean adults, walkable & dense neighbourhoods amplified socioeconomic gaps in abdominal obesity (waist, ABSI), not BMI. Density alone is not equity. https://t.co/DtI6R7ZN9g

1/6 🚶 Does living in a walkable, dense neighbourhood reduce health inequalities or widen them?
Our new study in Journal of Urban Health on 1,286 older adults in 5 Andalusian cities suggests the second.

6/6 Open access. Full paper, methods (DAG, multilevel models, ABSI), and city-level maps:

5/6 Implication: density and walkability are necessary but not sufficient for equitable healthy ageing.

Without equity-focused, age-friendly investment in deprived areas, dense urban form can amplify deprivation-related abdominal obesity.

@epiphaan Sería interesante analizar cómo el entorno construido influye en la práctica de actividad vigorosa, explorando si el acceso a espacios seguros y atractivos modula el cumplimiento de las recomendaciones, e incorporando variables del entorno urbano y escolar en el análisis.

"....humans evolved to engage in lifelong habitual #PhysicalActivity, but never evolved to exercise which is a modern behaviour ...in industrialised economies."

Excellent (very thought-provoking!) review in @BJSM_BMJ on why ppl struggle to stick to exercise & possible solutions. We have completely neglected this evolutionary perspective - could it be one of the reasons adherence is so poor?

https://t.co/HIPbnynGe1

Way forward: expore ways to support communities to increase their #IncidentalPhysicalActivity + invest more on exercise adherence.

"To make #PhysicalActivity necessary and rewarding, environments and cultural norms that encourage PA are essential to counteract the strong evolutionary instinct to avoid discretionary movement."

¡Hola! Soy Iván Martí Vidal y soy astrofísico. La Teoría de la Evolución no es solo una teoría; es un hecho. Y quien no lo acepte es un imbécil. El creacionismo es una soberana gilipollez, que demuestra (de hecho) que quienes lo creen aún tienen algo de simios.

Cort multará por pernoctar en autocaravanas: «En Palma se vive en viviendas»
Pero se seguirá pernoctando en velero, porque en caravana no y en un velero anclado en posidonia si?
