Societal determinants of cardiovascular risk factors and disease in communities in low, middle and high income countries

我们生活的邻里社会类型越来越被认为是影响我们行为的重要因素，例如我们的身体活动或营养，从而影响我们的健康，但没有全面的社会概况测量方法。这项研究旨在设计和测试一个全面的社区分析工具来衡量这些因素。这将使社区能够衡量其当地环境中增加心血管风险因素和疾病风险的因素。

The type of neighbourhood- society we live in is increasingly recognised as importantly influencing our behaviour such as our physical activity or nutrition and therefore our health, but no comprehensive measure of societal profile exists. This research aims to devise and test a comprehensive community-profiling tool to measure these factors. This will enable communities to measure their local environment for factors that increase the risk of developing cardiovascular risk factors and disease.
