Obtaining Longitudinal Built Environment Data Retrospectively across 25 years in Four US Cities
BACKGROUND Neighborhood transportation infrastructure and public recreational facilities are theorized to improve the activity, weight, and cardiometabolic profiles of individuals living in close proximity to these resources. However, owing to data limitations, there has not been adequate study of the influence of timing and placement of new infrastructure on health over time. METHODS This pr...
متن کاملIn Which Neighborhoods Are Older Adult Populations Expanding? Sociodemographic and Built Environment Characteristics Across Neighborhood Trajectory Classes of Older Adult Populations in Four U.S. Cities Over 30 Years
OBJECTIVES We sought to examine characteristics of neighborhoods with changing older adult populations. METHODS We used 30 years (1980-2011) of data from four U.S. cities (n=392 neighborhoods; Birmingham, AL; Chicago, IL; Minneapolis, MN; Oakland, CA) and finite mixture modeling to identify trajectory classes: neighborhoods with "stable", declining, or increasing older adult populations (≥65 ...
متن کاملProfessional Gender Gaps Across US Cities
Gender imbalances in work environments have been a longstanding concern. Identifying the existence of such imbalances is key to designing policies to help overcome them. In this work, we study gender trends in employment across various dimensions in the United States. This is done by analyzing anonymous, aggregate statistics that were extracted from LinkedIn’s advertising platform. The data con...
متن کاملConsistency of Social Sensing Signatures Across Major US Cities
Previous studies have shown that Twitter users have biases to tweet from certain locations (locational bias) and during certain hours (temporal bias). We used three years of geo-located Twitter Data to quantify these biases and test our central hypothesis that Twitter users’ biases are consistent across US cities. Our results suggest that temporal and locational bias of Twitter users are incons...
متن کاملCognitively Stimulating Activities: Effects on Cognition across Four Studies with up to 21 Years of Longitudinal Data
Engagement in cognitively stimulating activities has been considered to maintain or strengthen cognitive skills, thereby minimizing age-related cognitive decline. While the idea that there may be a modifiable behavior that could lower risk for cognitive decline is appealing and potentially empowering for older adults, research findings have not consistently supported the beneficial effects of e...
