Objective

Transportation injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for children. Risk is inequitable, but transportation injury studies often rely on ecological-level indicators of sociodemographics. This study examines individual and household-level social inequities in Canadian children which increase their risk of bicycling, pedestrian and motor vehicle occupant/driver injuries based on a unique linked data set.

Methods

We analyzed three cohorts linking Canadian census data to health records: an emergency department (ED) cohort (n = ∼1,731,200), a hospitalization cohort (n = ∼3,615,500) and a mortality cohort (N = ∼4,664,000). We used Poisson regression to estimate the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of pedestrian, bicycling and motor vehicle occupant/driver injuries separately in each cohort.

Results

We found positive associations across most outcomes for male children and rural residence. For pedestrian and motor vehicle injuries, older age of the child at onset increased risk, while higher parental education level was protective. A single adult household was a predictor for traffic injury ED visits and hospitalizations for all modes of transportation studied. Commute mode of the child or adults in their household was associated with increased risk of both motor vehicle and bicycling injuries, suggesting it may have indicator value for household mode usage.

Conclusions

Children experience varying risks of traffic injury based on household and individual characteristics, underscoring the need for systemic and targeted prevention efforts to reduce injuries and address health disparities. Future work could examine how preventive initiatives interact with social and area-level risk factors for children's traffic injury.

目的：交通伤害是儿童发病和死亡的主要原因。风险是不公平的，但交通伤害研究往往依赖于社会人口统计学的生态水平指标。本研究基于一个独特的关联数据集，调查了加拿大儿童中个人和家庭层面的社会不平等，这些不平等增加了他们骑自行车、行人和机动车乘员/驾驶员受伤的风险。方法我们分析了将加拿大人口普查数据与健康记录联系起来的三个队列：急诊科（ED）队列（n = ~ 1,731,200）、住院队列（n = ~ 3,615,500）和死亡率队列（n = ~ 4,664,000）。我们使用泊松回归分别估计每个队列中行人、骑自行车和机动车乘员/驾驶员伤害的发生率比（IRR）。结果我们发现男性儿童的大多数结果与农村居民呈正相关。对于行人和机动车伤害，发病年龄越大的儿童风险增加，而父母受教育程度越高的儿童具有保护作用。在研究的所有交通方式中，单个成人家庭是交通伤害急诊就诊和住院的预测因子。家庭中儿童或成人的通勤方式与机动车和自行车伤害的风险增加有关，这表明它可能对家庭模式的使用具有指示价值。结论儿童的交通伤害风险因家庭和个人特征而异，需要采取系统和有针对性的预防措施，以减少伤害和解决健康差异。未来的工作可以研究预防措施如何与社会和地区层面的儿童交通伤害风险因素相互作用。

Introduction

This study examined whether the association between neighbourhood disadvantage and body mass index (BMI) was moderated by neighbourhood walkability among mid-to-older aged adults.

Methods

Data were from the 2016 wave of the How Areas in Brisbane Influence Health and Activity (HABITAT) study, including 3249 mid-to-older aged adults residing in 200 neighbourhoods. Self-reported height and weight were used to calculate BMI; neighbourhood disadvantage was assessed using a census-derived index, analysed in quintiles; and walkability was determined using Walk Score®.

Results

BMI was associated with neighbourhood disadvantage with those residing in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods (Q4 and Q5) having higher BMI compared to those in the least disadvantaged neighbourhoods (Q1). There was evidence of moderation by Walk Score in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods (Q5). For every 10-unit increase in Walk Score, BMI differences between the most disadvantage neighbourhoods (Q5) and the least disadvantaged (Q1) reduced (β = −0.40, 95 % CI: −0.75, −0.05).

Conclusion

These findings suggest that greater walkability in disadvantaged neighbourhoods may present an opportunity to narrow the health inequities observed across neighbourhoods. Improving walking infrastructure in disadvantaged neighbourhoods could promote physical activity and support healthier weight outcomes to reduce health disparities.

本研究考察了中老年人群的邻里步行能力是否能调节邻里不利因素与身体质量指数（BMI）之间的关系。方法数据来自2016年布里斯班地区如何影响健康和活动（生境）研究浪潮，包括居住在200个社区的3249名中老年成年人。采用自我报告的身高和体重来计算BMI；使用人口普查衍生指数评估邻里劣势，以五分位数进行分析；使用步行评分（Walk Score®）测定步行能力。结果BMI与社区劣势相关，居住在最弱势社区（Q4和Q5）的人的BMI高于居住在最弱势社区（Q1）的人。有证据表明，在最不利的社区，步行得分（Q5）有所缓和。步行评分每增加10个单位，最弱势社区（Q5）和最弱势社区（Q1）之间的BMI差异就会缩小（β = - 0.40, 95% CI: - 0.75, - 0.05）。结论：这些研究结果表明，弱势社区中更大的可步行性可能为缩小社区间观察到的健康不平等提供了机会。改善弱势社区的步行基础设施可以促进身体活动，支持更健康的体重结果，以缩小健康差距。

Introduction

The 15-min city is a recently developed urban planning concept that promotes sustainable development by enhancing urban equity in access to essential services and supporting community physical and mental health by encouraging active mobility and outdoor activities. Aiming to explore spatial equity and accessibility, this study investigates the integration of population preferences into the 15-min city across the historic city of Yazd. The findings inform regeneration strategies of sustainable development tailored to population preferences and provide a pathway towards a healthy community.

Methods

This study evaluates the accessibility index for essential urban opportunities, including healthcare, education, recreation, public services, and administrative/police centers, within a 15-min walking distance at the block level. The 15-min city indexes were subsequently calculated based on these opportunities, adjusting to reflect local preferences for each urban service.

Results

The findings reveal that the distribution of 15-min city indexes and their sub-indices in Yazd City is spatially clustered, primarily concentrated around the city center and limited access in the outskirts, highlighting inequalities within the urban fabric. Furthermore, density-related analyses indicate no correlation between neighborhood-level density and the 15-min city index, highlighting no proximity between amenities and population density.

Conclusions

These results emphasize the need for targeted urban planning interventions to enhance accessibility in the outskirts to achieve a more equitable and healthy community. By focusing on localized needs and patterns, this study provides a framework for targeted urban planning interventions, contributing to the development of sustainable and inclusive neighborhoods in Yazd City and beyond.

15分钟城市是最近提出的一个城市规划概念，通过加强城市在获得基本服务方面的公平性，并通过鼓励积极的流动性和户外活动来支持社区身心健康，从而促进可持续发展。为了探索空间公平性和可达性，本研究考察了人口偏好在亚兹德历史名城15分钟城市中的整合。研究结果为适应人口偏好的可持续发展再生战略提供了信息，并为建立健康社区提供了途径。方法本研究对街区步行15分钟内的医疗、教育、娱乐、公共服务和行政/警察中心等基本城市机会的可达性指数进行了评价。随后，根据这些机会计算出15分钟城市指数，并根据当地对每个城市服务的偏好进行调整。结果亚兹德市15分钟城市指数及其分项指数在空间上呈集群分布，主要集中在城市中心周围，郊区通道有限，城市结构内部的不均衡性突出。此外，与密度相关的分析表明，社区水平密度与15分钟城市指数之间没有相关性，强调了便利设施与人口密度之间没有接近性。这些结果强调了有针对性的城市规划干预措施的必要性，以提高郊区的可达性，实现更公平和健康的社区。通过关注当地的需求和模式，本研究为有针对性的城市规划干预提供了一个框架，有助于亚兹德市及其他地区可持续和包容性社区的发展。

Introduction

Understanding older people's mobility patterns and out-of-home activities is crucial for promoting their independence, active ageing and well-being. This study leverages mobility motif analysis to identify recurring travel patterns among older people and investigate how they are associated with out-of-home activity profiles.

Method

We collected continuous 12 weeks of mobility data using a smartphone Track and Trace app on 9147 journeys made by 43 participants (3612 person-days) aged 55 and above in the West Midlands Combined Authority, UK. To address self-selection and low participation rates, we matched participants with national survey data based on out-of-home activity profiles. Using network analysis, we identified distinct mobility motifs within daily travel networks.

Results

A total of 106 distinct mobility motifs were identified, with 19 key motifs representing the most recurring travel patterns, collectively accounting for 92.2 % of all daily travel networks. The distribution revealed high consistency with group profiles. Further analysis revealed inter-group variations in travel frequency, mode use, motif types, and journey purposes among the three groups.

Conclusion

These findings provide evidence-based insights for developing age-friendly urban systems and targeted interventions to enhance mobility inclusivity among older populations. The identified motifs reveal diversity in older people's travel behaviours and highlight the need for addressing mobility barriers to promote active and socially connected lifestyles, enhancing their well-being and quality of life.

了解老年人的活动模式和户外活动对于促进他们的独立、积极老龄化和健康至关重要。本研究利用流动性基序分析来确定老年人的重复旅行模式，并调查它们与户外活动概况的关系。我们使用智能手机Track and Trace应用程序收集了英国西米德兰兹联合管理局55岁及以上的43名参与者（3612人日）的9147次旅行的连续12周的移动数据。为了解决自我选择和低参与率的问题，我们将参与者与基于户外活动概况的全国调查数据相匹配。通过网络分析，我们确定了日常出行网络中不同的移动性主题。结果共识别出106个不同的出行动机，其中19个是最常见的出行模式，占所有日常出行网络的92.2%。其分布与群体特征具有较高的一致性。进一步的分析揭示了三个群体在旅行频率、模式使用、主题类型和旅行目的方面的群体间差异。这些研究结果为开发老年人友好型城市系统和有针对性的干预措施以增强老年人流动包容性提供了基于证据的见解。已确定的主题揭示了老年人出行行为的多样性，强调了解决流动性障碍的必要性，以促进积极和社会联系的生活方式，提高老年人的福祉和生活质量。

Objective

We examined whether transportation needs of Homeless Experienced Veterans (HEV) were associated with healthcare needs.

Method

This study conducted secondary analysis of data from the 2022 CHALENG survey, a national cross-sectional survey of currently homeless and formerly homeless Veterans (n = 1992) on various needs related to clinical and social determinants of health domains. The association between transportation and healthcare needs was evaluated through a two-phase hierarchical logistic regression (95 % confidence).

Findings

HEVs who reported getting their transportation needs met exhibited high odds ratios of meeting their health needs across primary care [OR: 13.94, p < 0.001], behavioral health [OR: 7.33, p < 0.001], dental care [OR: 5.91, p < 0.001], hygiene care [OR: 6.84, p < 0.001], and eye care [OR: 6.14, p < 0.001] relative to HEVs who did not get their transportation needs met. However, Veterans with 1 or more dependents under 18 living with them had lower odds of meeting their needs in primary care [OR: 0.51, p = 0.009] and behavioral health [OR: 0.46, p = 0.005]. Further, HEVs who reported having their housing at risk in any way also had reduced odds of meeting their health needs such as behavioral health [OR: 0.51, p = 0.002]. Notably, dental needs were an unmet need, with only 30.4 % of HEVs meeting their needs compared to behavioral health (80.3 %) and primary care (75.6 %).

Conclusion

Although transportation is a predictor of health needs for HEVs, housing risk and the increased burden of caring for dependents may reduce the likelihood of Veterans not meeting their health needs. Future research is needed to explore the ways Veterans get their dental needs met and to examine how having dependents may affect access to healthcare.

目的探讨流浪退伍军人（HEV）的交通需求是否与医疗保健需求相关。本研究对2022年CHALENG调查的数据进行了二次分析，这是一项针对目前无家可归和曾经无家可归的退伍军人（n = 1992）的全国性横断面调查，涉及与健康领域的临床和社会决定因素相关的各种需求。通过两阶段层次逻辑回归（95%置信度）评估交通和医疗保健需求之间的关联。结果发现，与交通需求未得到满足的hev相比，交通需求得到满足的hev在初级保健[OR: 13.94, p <； 0.001]、行为健康[OR: 7.33, p <； 0.001]、牙科保健[OR: 5.91, p <； 0.001]、卫生保健[OR: 6.84, p <； 0.001]和眼科保健[OR: 6.14, p <； 0.001]方面的健康需求得到满足的优势比较高。然而，与1名或更多18岁以下的家属一起生活的退伍军人在初级保健和行为健康方面满足需求的几率较低[or: 0.51, p = 0.009]。此外，报告住房存在任何风险的hev也降低了满足其健康需求（如行为健康）的几率[OR: 0.51, p = 0.002]。值得注意的是，牙科需求是一个未满足的需求，只有30.4%的hev满足了他们的需求，而行为健康（80.3%）和初级保健（75.6%）则满足了他们的需求。结论虽然交通是hev健康需求的预测因子，但住房风险和照顾家属负担的增加可能会降低退伍军人不满足其健康需求的可能性。未来的研究需要探索退伍军人满足牙科需求的方式，并研究有家属如何影响获得医疗保健。

Objectives

To analyze injuries associated with electric scooter use in Malaga and assess the impact of recent traffic regulations, specifically the shift of electric scooters from sidewalks to streets with a speed limit of 25 km/h.

Methods

Retrospective descriptive study of patients attending the emergency department of the Regional University Hospital of Malaga due to electric scooter injuries between January 2018 and December 2022. The study cohort was divided into pre- and post-regulation periods, using January 2021 as the index date.

Results

A total of 404 patients were included. Most injuries affected the upper extremities, head and neck, face, and lower extremities. After the regulation, pedestrian collisions decreased (10.9 % → 5.2 %; p = 0.039), while collisions with cars increased (8.8 % → 18 %; p = 0.016). Injury severity and fracture locations remained similar before and after the regulation. Alcohol consumption and nighttime riding were associated with higher odds of moderate to severe injuries.

Conclusions

The number of electric scooter-related accidents has increased over the years.

Introduction

Despite the numerous health benefits associated with physical activity, many young people globally fail to meet the recommended levels of engagement, with motorized travel modes becoming the preferred option among adolescents. In contrast, active travel modes such as walking and cycling are essential components of physical activity, yet they are not as widely used. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate the impact of government and school support on Thai adolescents' determinants of active travel intention.

Methods

A multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) approach was used to analyze data from a sample of 1500 adolescents across 32 schools in Thailand. The study spanned both urban and suburban settings, focusing on adolescents aged 15–18 years.

Results

The findings indicate that government and school support significantly enhance determinants of active travel intention and perceived built environment at the school level. At the individual level, adolescents who are more likely to intend to use active travel modes are predominantly female, reside with their parents, have a lower BMI, and do not own motorcycles.

Conclusions

This research highlights the importance of targeted interventions that leverage both government and school support and personal characteristics to promote active travel among adolescents. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers seeking to develop evidence-based strategies that foster sustainable active travel behaviors, contributing to improved health outcomes and more environmentally sustainable transportation practices. These findings hold particular relevance for developing countries such as Thailand, where fostering active travel intentions among adolescents is essential.

尽管身体活动对健康有诸多益处，但全球许多年轻人未能达到建议的参与水平，机动出行方式成为青少年的首选。相比之下，积极的旅行方式，如步行和骑自行车，是身体活动的重要组成部分，但它们并没有被广泛使用。因此，本研究旨在探讨政府和学校支持对泰国青少年积极旅游意愿决定因素的影响。方法采用多层结构方程模型（MSEM）方法对泰国32所学校1500名青少年的数据进行分析。这项研究涵盖了城市和郊区，重点关注15-18岁的青少年。结果政府和学校支持显著增强了学校层面学生主动出行意愿和建筑环境感知的决定因素。在个人层面上，更倾向于使用积极出行方式的青少年主要是女性，与父母住在一起，BMI较低，没有摩托车。本研究强调了有针对性的干预措施的重要性，即利用政府和学校的支持以及个人特点来促进青少年的积极旅行。研究结果为寻求制定以证据为基础的战略的决策者提供了宝贵的见解，这些战略旨在促进可持续的主动出行行为，促进改善健康结果和更环保的可持续交通实践。这些发现与泰国等发展中国家特别相关，在这些国家，培养青少年积极的旅行意愿至关重要。

Introduction

Walking offers substantial health and environmental benefits, yet real-world studies on walking behavior often struggle with environmental control and recall bias. This study explores Virtual Reality (VR) combined with an omnidirectional treadmill as a novel, immersive method to examine environmental factors influencing walking for transport. The study aimed to (1) assess the usability of the VR setup and (2) evaluate whether it can identify walking-related environmental factors consistent with findings from traditional methods.

Method

s: A convenience sample of 37 participants aged 12 and older completed a VR walking session on a modeled urban street in Ghent, Belgium. After a familiarization phase, participants walked while verbalizing their thoughts using the think-aloud method. Usability was assessed through questionnaires measuring presence, realism, VR sickness, and task load. Qualitative data were analyzed using deductive content analysis.

Results

Participants reported moderate to high immersion and low VR sickness. However, the treadmill's physical and cognitive demands presented some usability challenges. Qualitative analysis identified environmental factors influencing walking, such as perceived safety, sidewalk quality, and aesthetics, that align with previous walk-along studies in real environments.

Conclusion

This study highlights the potential of VR as a controlled and immersive tool for studying environmental factors related to walking behavior. The findings establish a strong foundation for future research exploring diverse urban settings and their impact on walking as a mode of transport.

步行提供了大量的健康和环境效益，然而现实世界中对步行行为的研究经常与环境控制和回忆偏差作斗争。本研究探索了虚拟现实（VR）与全向跑步机相结合，作为一种新颖的沉浸式方法来研究影响交通步行的环境因素。该研究旨在(1)评估VR设置的可用性；(2)评估它是否能识别与步行相关的环境因素，与传统方法的结果一致。方法：在比利时根特的一条模拟城市街道上，37名年龄在12岁及以上的参与者完成了VR步行会话。经过一个熟悉阶段后，参与者一边走路，一边用“大声思考”的方法表达自己的想法。可用性通过测量存在感、现实性、VR疾病和任务负荷的问卷来评估。定性资料采用演绎内容分析法进行分析。结果参与者报告中度至高度沉浸和低VR疾病。然而，跑步机对身体和认知的要求带来了一些可用性方面的挑战。定性分析确定了影响步行的环境因素，如感知安全性、人行道质量和美学，与之前在真实环境中进行的步行研究一致。本研究强调了VR作为一种可控的沉浸式工具来研究与步行行为相关的环境因素的潜力。这些发现为未来探索不同城市环境及其对步行作为一种交通方式的影响的研究奠定了坚实的基础。

Introduction

The right to safety is a basic need of people, and one of the biggest concerns on safety revolves around public transportation, particularly among women. This study examines factors influencing the perceived safety of women commuters in Metro Manila's train system.

Conceptual framework

Using Wirga and Debarnardi's ABC Model, the study identifies media exposure, familial upbringing, witnessing negative experiences, and experiencing negative experiences as predictors of perceived safety.

Method

A total of 200 women commuters who have used any train system in Metro Manila, Philippines at least once in the past year participated in an online survey that measured the factors in the conceptual model.

Results

Regression analysis revealed that Media Exposure, Familial Upbringing, and Experiencing Negative Experiences significantly predict Perceived Safety, while Witnessing Negative Experiences did not.

Implications

These findings highlight the critical role of Media Exposure, Familial Upbringing, and Experiencing Negative Experiences in shaping women's safety perceptions while commuting. Addressing these vulnerabilities can enhance the safety and inclusivity of public transportation for female commuters.

安全权利是人们的基本需求，公共交通是人们最关心的安全问题之一，尤其是妇女。本研究探讨了影响马尼拉地铁系统中女性通勤者感知安全的因素。概念框架使用Wirga和Debarnardi的ABC模型，该研究确定了媒体接触、家庭教育、目睹负面经历和经历负面经历作为感知安全的预测因素。方法在过去一年中，共有200名在菲律宾马尼拉大都会至少乘坐过一次地铁系统的女性参与了一项在线调查，以衡量这一概念模型中的因素。结果回归分析显示，媒体暴露、家庭教养和负性经历对安全感知有显著影响，而目睹负性经历对安全感知无显著影响。这些发现强调了媒体暴露、家庭教育和负面经历在塑造女性通勤安全观念方面的关键作用。解决这些脆弱性可以提高公共交通对女性通勤者的安全性和包容性。
