The epidemiology of transient synovitis in Liverpool, UK
2014
Journal of Children's Orthopaedics
No relationship was identified between seasonality and incidence (p = 0.64). ...
This paper provides ecological evidence that may challenge existing aetiological theories, though transient synovitis remains an enigma. ...
To define this cohort, postcodes were identified at diagnosis, and the region attributed using an online spatial matching tool (GeoConvert, Mimas, University of Manchester). ...

Examination of how food environment and psychological factors interact in their relationship with dietary behaviours: test of a cross-sectional model
2019
International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity
To improve population diet environmental strategies have been hailed the panacea because they require little agency or investment of personal resources; this contrasts with conventional strategies that ...
The methods used to collect the spatial access data and create the individualised activity spaces and food environment scores have been described elsewhere [41] . ...

Geography of Diet in the UK Women's Cohort Study: A Cross-Sectional Analysis
2016
Epidemiology - Open Journal
Results show that dietary patterns vary significantly by both spatial measures. ...
This study aims to explore differences in dietary pattern consumption by two spatial measures: Government Office Region (a large regional unit of geography) and Output Area Classification (a small area ...
The multinomial regression model ( Table 2) shows that OAC Supergroup has a significant relationship with dietary pattern consumption. ...

Greater access to healthy food outlets in the home and school environment is associated with better dietary quality in young children
2017
Public Health Nutrition
An activity space around each child's home and school was created using ArcGIS. ...
After adjustment for mothers' educational qualification and level of home neighbourhood deprivation, the relationship between diet and healthy specialty stores remained robust (P=0·002) while the relationship ...
Yet diet is a key determinant of weight status and empirical evidence exploring the relationship between diet and spatial access to different food outlet types is paramount to understanding the complexity ...

Does neighbourhood deprivation affect the genetic influence on body mass?
2017
Social Science and Medicine
This heritability estimate is shown, however, to be higher in more deprived neighbourhoods and lower in less deprived ones and this relationship is statistically significant. ...
While this research cannot say anything directly about the mechanisms behind the relationship it does highlight how the relative importance of genetic factors can vary across different social environments ...
Alternatively it may be that there are aspects of obesogenic environments that moderate genetic vulnerability to obesity and that cause changes in the relationship between specific genes and obesity. ...

Game of Zones: The Political Economy of Conservation Areas
2017
Economic Journal
In line with our model predictions we find that an increase in preferences for historic character by the local population increases the likelihood of a designation, and that new designations at the margin ...
We develop and test a simple theory of the conservation area designation process in which we postulate that the level of designation is chosen to comply with interests of local homeowners. ...
