“…Nevertheless, this does not mean that increased physical activity does not contribute to improved neighbourhood perceptions – these factors may reinforce each other. In fact, multiple studies have provided evidence for a bidirectional relationship between physical activity and mental well‐being . Therefore, the results of the present study may provide a first indication that improvements in neighbourhood attraction, safety and design contribute to neighbourhood perceptions.…”

“…obesity reviews (2016) 17 (Suppl. 1), [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52] Introduction Individuals living in socioeconomically deprived neighbourhoods have increased propensity to be overweight, experience poorer health and have higher mortality rates (1)(2)(3). Socioeconomic inequalities may at least be partly related to perceptions of residents in deprived neighbourhoods that their neighbourhood is not conducive to healthy behaviours.…”

Exploring why residents of socioeconomically deprived neighbourhoods have less favourable perceptions of their neighbourhood environment than residents of wealthy neighbourhoods

SummaryResidents of socioeconomically deprived areas perceive their neighbourhood as less conducive to healthy behaviours than residents of more affluent areas. Whether these unfavourable perceptions are based on objective neighbourhood features or other factors is poorly understood. We examined individual and contextual correlates of socioeconomic inequalities in neighbourhood perceptions across five urban regions in Europe. Data were analysed from 5205 participants of the SPOTLIGHT survey. Participants reported perceptions of their neighbourhood environment with regard to aesthetics, safety, the presence of destinations and functionality of the neighbourhood, which were summed into an overall neighbourhood perceptions score. Multivariable multilevel regression analyses were conducted to investigate whether the following factors were associated with socioeconomic inequalities in neighbourhood perceptions: objectively observed neighbourhood features, neighbourhood social capital, exposure to the neighbourhood, self-rated health and lifestyle behaviours. Objectively observed traffic safety, aesthetics and the presence of destinations in the neighbourhood explained around 15% of differences in neighbourhood perceptions between residents of high and low neighbourhoods; levels of neighbourhood social cohesion explained around 52%. Exposure to the neighbourhood, self-rated health and lifestyle behaviours were significant correlates of neighbourhood perceptions but did not contribute to socioeconomic differences. This cross-European study provided evidence that socioeconomic differences in neighbourhood perceptions are not only associated with objective neighbourhood features but also with social cohesion. Levels of physical activity, sleep duration, self-rated health, happiness and neighbourhood preference were also associated with neighbourhood perceptions.

“…Roshanaei-Moghaddam et al systematically reviewed prospective studies that examined an association between baseline depression and subsequent levels of physical activity, and suggested that depression can lead to physical inactivity 34) . This finding had been a common clinical observation, but experimental verification was lacking 35) . Recent prospective studies have shed light on this issue and confirmed that associations between physical activity and depression are bidirectional 36,37) .…”

Deleterious effects of physical inactivity on the hippocampus: New insight into the increasing prevalence of stress-related depression

Populations worldwide are increasingly becoming physically inactive, which is related to somatic and psychological health problems that are prevalent in modern society. Recent epidemiological studies have indicated that the associations between physical inactivity and depression are bidirectional. Numerous animal studies have demonstrated that exercise improves hippocampal function. Because the hippocampus is a pivotal brain region that exerts inhibitory control over stress responses by affecting the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, enhanced hippocampal function by exercise can increase stress resilience, which helps prevent stress-related depression. In contrast, physical inactivity is difficult to model in animal studies, and little is known about the effects of physical inactivity on the rodent hippocampus. To fill this gap, we previously developed a mouse model of habituated voluntary wheel running cessation as a reverse intervention to control physical activity. We found that reducing physical activity by cessation of wheel running impairs hippocampal neurogenesis in mice. Thus, this review discusses the relevant literature and provides a hypothesis that physical inactivity can be a potential risk factor for stress-related depression as it increases stress vulnerability by impairing hippocampal function.

“…Patients report pain, malodour and exudate, social isolation, reduced independence and reduced mobility (8,9) all of which delay rehabilitation and impact both on patients and their families (9). Reduced physical activity and depression stemming from PI are inextricably linked and have been referred to as the 'inactivity trap' (11). Combined with advanced age, malnourishment and co-morbidities, PIs can make it difficult for people to partake in their usual activities, both within and outside their homes (12).…”

Living with multiple losses: Insights from patients living with pressure injury

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Pressure injury is a common problem. Its prevention and treatment is predominantly focussed on views, perceptions and knowledge of healthcare staff rather than on patient experience, particularly those patients living in their own homes.Aim: This paper reports findings on patients experiences and perceptions of loss associated with PI.These findings are drawn from a larger study of pressure injury patients living and receiving care in the community.Methods: Qualitative interviews with 12 participants with pressure injury and five carers. Data was audio recorded and thematically analysed. The study is reported in accordance with the COREQ guidelines.Findings: Having a pressure injury negatively affected many aspects of life for our participants resulting in multiple losses. These losses included loss of mobility and independence, privacy and dignity, and social engagement and ability to engage in preferred activities.Discussion: Although the effects of a pressure injury may be similar for many people, the most important issues will differ from person-to-person thus treatment and prevention of pressure injury requires a multidisciplinary team having a holistic care approach. Some patients' pressure injury will never heal and it is increasingly important to involve the patient to find out what matters most to them and how their wound is impacting on them, to jointly develop a holistic, person-centred plan.Conclusion: Policy and practice should recognise and reflect that patients living with a pressure injury at home have different challenges and needs to those in acute or long term care. Pragmatic solutions in the delivery of pressure injury care are needed to compliment the drive to move healthcare from the hospital-to-home. 3 SUMMARY OF RELEVANCE: IssueLittle is known about the impact of pressure injuries on the lives of patients living in their own homes, especially from the patient's perspective.
