目的：本研究旨在模拟多种健康结果和行为的更新，完善，并验证县紧凑/蔓延measurements.Methods：多健康结果和行为建模使用多层次analysis.Results：控制观察到的混杂影响后，原始和新的紧凑措施是负相关的BMI，肥胖，心脏病，高血压和糖尿病。指数是没有显着相关的身体活动，也许是因为身体活动的定义并不广泛，包括积极的旅行工作，购物，和其他destinations.Conclusions：发展城市和郊区在一个更紧凑的方式可能有一些有益的影响肥胖和慢性病的趋势。(C)2013作者由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Aims: This study aims to model multiple health outcomes and behaviors in terms of the updated, refined, and validated county compactness/sprawl measures.Methods: Multiple health outcomes and behaviors are modeled using multi-level analysis.Results: After controlling for observed confounding influences, both original and new compactness measures are negatively related to BMI, obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Indices are not significantly related to physical activity, perhaps because physical activity is not defined broadly to include active travel to work, shopping, and other destinations.Conclusions: Developing urban and suburban areas in a more compact manner may have some salutary effect on obesity and chronic disease trends.
