Going to a more moving city is paid for health, scientists found
Those who moved to a moving favorable city, they have gone more, and show a new natural experiment, to improve health and prevent the disease at a fast pace.
Classes allow you to use more facilities for daily life, such as school or work, buying ingredients to buy dinner or go to the park to play. But it is not available to all, designed to emphasize transit by car in view of many cities and suburbs in Canada and America, urban planners say.
The cause of tessing from the effect-whether the movable cities motivate people to move more or if people who like to walk, more pedestrian-friendly cities live in the nails-so it is important for nails because it can help encourage more investment in safe pavements and zoning to encourage physical activity, saying medical researchers.
To find out, Tim Althoff, a computer science professor at the University of Washington in Seattle, used data from a step-tracking app to compare the daily stages of more than 5,400 people, which moved between major American cities.
“In short, we found that your city could help make you healthy,” Althoff said. “Your city’s design affects how much you go and as a result, your health.”
Althoff and his co-writers said in this week issue Journal nature Moving towards one more moving one from a low -moving city, which adds an average of about 1,100 steps.
This is something that computer scientist has seen for the first time.
“I grew up in a rural area in Germany,” said Althoff. “I live in California and now in Seattle. Personally, I am a great fan of public transit, but I too, for example, intentionally went into a neighborhood where it would be close to a bus stop.”
Canadian and international guidelines get strong physical activity in a week a week for strong physical activity in 150 minutes or more a week. Researchers found that those who lived in more moving cities were doubled from the possibility of accumulating those steps.
Dalla Lana at Toronto University, Professor of Epidemiological at School of Public Health, Dr. Laura Rosella stated that many high-quality Canadian studies indicate type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and predeabities as well as to reduce the risk of mental health benefits from more moving cities.
“We spend a lot of money on the health care system,” Rosella. “This (walkability) is something that literally we can make small twics that can make a huge difference.”
To implement the findings in the climate of Canada, Rosella said, policy makers will also need to take into account the views of safety, such as cleaning ice and ice on pavements.
Benefits of mixed density
Ahmed L-Jnidi, a professor in urban planning at McGil University, said it takes about 15 years to gradually change the neighborhood and change the culture so that people can roam more in cities.
“The whole idea is that you need to build a high density next to a single family,” the houses said. He said that areas such as Montreal’s plateau neighborhood encouraged people to walk on more destination like grocery stores.
Edmonton is planning a major zoning revamp that will change the city for the coming decades. To find out what those changes at the road level can see, Edmonton AM’s Mark Konoli and Tara Macarthi visited two neighborhoods with urban design expert Kalan Anderson.
Paul Sharma, director of chronic illness and injury prevention in Peel Public Health, said that the huge suburban neighborhoods of Mississawga and Brampton are sedentary places. According to the area data, the residents have long movement compared to elsewhere in Ontario.
To design more moving communities, peel authorities say they are working on factors such as enhancing density, closure of services and creating wide pavement with better lighting and shadow.
“This is where public health and local planners need to work together to improve the health of the residents,” Sharma said.
In a playground in the crestmount residential neighborhood of Calgary, Jarek Soltis stated that the family chose a place to get closer to the mountains and walking paths, where they get steps to enjoy, but not transport for works.
Soltis said, “When we went here seven years ago, there was nothing really here, even a feature store, so we knew that we were running the place,” Soltis said. “This is the reality of the suburbs in a big city.”
