“…Studies indicated that obesity was positively associated with population density and the availability of fast-food outlets from the people's residence (104)(105)(106)(107)(108). Moreover, other studies also found the incidence of cardiovascular disease was significantly higher with more fast-food outlets than areas with no fast-food outlets (15,109). On the contrary, compared with cities with less green space, cities with larger or medium green areas had a lower risk of suicide (14,110).…”

“…At present, a growing number of studies have focused on the impact of built environment on health (Table 4 in Appendix), especially those chronic diseases such as obesity (13), cardiovascular disease (15) and mental health (14).

“…Built environment is defined to include all buildings, spaces, and products that are built or modified by humans. There is growing evidence that the built environment affects health in different ways and mechanisms (12), especially chronic diseases such as obesity (13), mental health (14), cardiovascular disease (15), and respiratory health (16). Acne is a chronic disease in which both environmental and genetic factors interact (17).…”

Background: Acne vulgaris is known as a commonly-seen skin disease with a considerable impact on the quality of life. At present, there have been a growing number of epidemiological, medical, demographic and sociological researches focusing on various influencing factors in the occurrence of acne. Nevertheless, the correlation between environmental factors and acne has yet to be fully investigated. Objective: To assess the impacts of individual, natural and social environmental factors on acne and to construct a framework for the potential impact of built environment on acne. Methods: A thorough review was conducted into the published social demographical, epidemiological, and environmental studies on acne through PubMed, Google Scholar and Web of Science, with reference made to the relevant literature. Results: The influencing factors in acne are classed into four major categories. The first one includes individual socioeconomic and biological factors, for example, gender, age, economic level, heredity, obesity, skin type, menstrual cycle (for females), diet, smoking, cosmetics products, electronic products, sleep quality and psychological factors. The second one includes such natural environmental factors as temperature, humidity, sun exposure, air pollution and chloracne. The third one relates to social environment, including social network and social media. The last one includes built environmental factors, for example, population density, food stores, green spaces, as well as other built environment characteristics for transport. Acne can be affected negatively by family history, overweight, obesity, oily or mixed skin, irregular menstrual cycles, sugary food, greasy food, dairy products, smoking, the improper use of cosmetics, the long-term use of electronics, the poor quality of sleep, stress, high temperature, sun exposure, air pollution, mineral oils and halogenated hydrocarbons. Apart from that, there are also potential links between built environment and acne. Yang et al. Acne Conclusions: It is necessary to determine the correlation between the built environment and acne based on the understanding of the impact of traditional factors (sociology of population and environment) on acne gained by multidisciplinary research teams. Moreover, more empirical studies are required to reveal the specific relationship between built environment and acne.

“…Although obesity rates in the Netherlands are lower than in most other countries that are part of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the prevalence of obesity has doubled over a period of 20 years [14], and a changing food environment may have contributed to this increase. While research from the Netherlands found evidence for a link between the food environment and dietary patterns and non-communicable diseases [15,16], no studies have been published to date on how the Dutch foodscape has changed over time. Insight on how the foodscape has changed may be valuable to understand results found in current literature, design new studies as well as policies that aim to facilitate a healthier food environment.…”

Background: Obesogenic food environments may influence dietary behaviours and contribute to obesity. Few countries quantified changes in their foodscape. We explored how the availability of different types of food retailers has changed in the Netherlands across levels of neighbourhood socioeconomic status (SES) and urbanisation. Methods: This longitudinal ecological study conducted in the Netherlands had as unit of analysis administrative neighbourhoods. From 2004 to 2018, the geographic location and type of each food retailer were objectively assessed by a commercial company. Food retailers were categorised as local food shops, fast food restaurants, food delivery, restaurants, supermarkets, and convenience stores. Information on neighbourhood SES and urbanisation was obtained from Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). To test the change in the counts of food retailers we used negative binomial generalized estimating equations (GEE), with neighbourhoods as the group variable, time as the independent variable and the counts of each type of food retailer as outcome. To account for changes in population density, analyses were adjusted for the number of inhabitants per neighbourhood. We tested effect modification by adding an interaction term for neighbourhood SES and urbanisation to the models. Results: In Dutch neighbourhoods between 2004 and 2018, a 120 and 35% increase was found in the count of food delivery outlets and restaurants, respectively, and a 24% decrease in count of local food shops. Stratified analyses showed an increase in the availability of supermarkets and convenience stores in the more urbanised and lower SES neighbourhoods, while a decrease was observed in the less urbanised and higher SES neighbourhoods. Conclusions:We observed considerable changes in the Dutch foodscape. Over a 14 years period, the foodscape changed towards a higher availability of food retailers offering convenience and ready-to-eat foods. These findings can help policy makers aiming to promote a healthier food environment and obesity prevention.

“…The following potential factors may account for differences observed among the various ethnic groups: (1) population diversity (68), (2) different habits among populations (69), and (3) environmental factors leading to differences in susceptibility to CVD (70). Furthermore, we speculate that the non-significant association among Caucasians may be due to the relatively low frequency of the TT genotype in this population.…”

M235T polymorphism in the angiotensinogen gene and cardiovascular disease: an updated meta-analysis of 39 case-control comparisons

M235T polymorphism in the angiotensinogen gene and cardiovascular disease: An updated meta-analysis of 39 case-control comparisons Objective: M235T polymorphism of the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene has been linked with cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this metaanalysis was to investigate whether combined evidence supports this association. Methods: A systematic search was conducted for studies published up to October 2018 that evaluate the association between AGT M235T polymorphism and risk of CVD. Case-control studies were identified, and the association between AGT M235T polymorphism and CVD risk was assessed using genetic models. Results: Thirty-nine comparisons from 38 studies were collected, and a meta-analysis and subgroup analysis was performed based on ethnicity. In the overall population (9225 cases and 8406 controls), the occurrence of CVD was found to be associated with AGT M235T polymorphism in both allelic [T vs. M: odds ratio (OR)=1.16] and recessive (TT vs. MT+MM: OR=1.14) models. In subgroup analyses, a significant association was identified between AGT M235T polymorphism and CVD risk in East Asian subgroups in allelic (T vs. M: OR=1.46), homozygous (TT vs. MM: OR=1.78), dominant (MT+TT vs. MM: OR=1.47), and recessive (TT vs. MT+MM: OR=1.68) models, but there was no significant association in Caucasian populations. Conclusion: Among East Asians, the AGT variant M235T is associated with CVD risk. However, current evidence suggests that there is no such association in the Caucasian population.
