Neighborhood Greenspace and Socioeconomic Risk are Associated with Diabetes Risk at the Sub-neighborhood Scale: Results from the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE) Study

Abstract: Greenspace and socioeconomic status are known correlates of diabetes prevalence, but their combined effects at the sub-neighborhood scale are not yet known. This study derives, maps, and validates a combined socioeconomic/greenspace index of individual-level diabetes risk at the sub-neighborhood scale, without the need for clinical measurements. In two Canadian cities (Vancouver and Hamilton), we computed 4 greenspace variables from satellite imagery and extracted 11 socioeconomic variables from the Canadian c… Show more

“…In this context, Böhme et al (2015Böhme et al ( , 2019, for example, point out that health and social data are subject to special protection and very little in the way of such data is available at a small-scale level. Most recently, remote sensing has become a valuable tool both in environmental justice research and in urban health as it facilitates the displaying of micro-level environmental conditions (Walker et al, 2022;Weigand et al, 2019). However, following Moretti's (2013) distinction between "distant reading" and "close reading," critical GIS studies have emphasised the necessity of ground-truthing and triangulation of data, avoiding the positivist notion and epistemological shortcomings of GIS (e.g., Burns, 2021; Schuurman & Pratt, 2002;Schuurman et al, 2020).…”

“…For example, stateimposed measures to contain the virus accentuate the differentiation between private and public spaces, the latter being labelled "unsafe", whilst categorisations of various sites' functions reproduce perceptions and experiences of anxiety bound to sites considered to be high-risk, e.g., grocery stores, schools, and restaurants (Stadlmeier et al 2022). Associations between health risk and the built environment are certainly rooted in the literature (Vialard et al 2019;Walker et al 2020a;Walker et al 2022) and provide important space for critical analysis and methodological development (Walker & Schuurman 2015). It is therefore becoming increasingly important for the research agenda to consider how digital geographical information plays a role in society's confrontation with the epidemiological landscape (Taglioni 2019).…”

“…Area level demographic % Dwelling Ownership [29] Density All but 2 GIS measures of area-level demographics were measures of density, with the other 2 being a combination of density measures within an index score. These measures typically accounted for population size within administrative units, with existing boundaries being used to aggregate measures of exposure.…”
