Ethical assessment of large language model-generated advisory text on designing the built environment for health

Mohammad Javad Koohsari, Becky P.Y. Loo, Jing Zhao, Jiuling Li, Ying Long, Yi Lu, Koichiro Oka, Andrew T. Kaczynski

Developments in the Built Environment, 27, 101007

Abstract

Large language models (LLMs) can generate advisory text on modifying built environments to support health. This study examined the ethical properties of a recent LLM generating text on built environments to support health. The prompts covered six health-related pathways in higher-income, lower-income, and mixed-income neighbourhoods. Overall, 180 answers were coded against four ethical criteria. Non-maleficence was satisfied in all answers. Lower-income contexts were rarely offered weaker proposals than higher-income contexts. Reference to collective participation and transparent oversight appeared in 70-90% of answers without a budget constraint, but only 30-50% under one. The LLM more consistently met minimum expectations for harm avoidance and distributive justice than for collective participation and transparent oversight. These findings suggest that current LLM outputs may reproduce some baseline ethical conventions in urban design discourse but are less reliable on procedural concerns. LLM-generated outputs should therefore be interpreted cautiously within existing built environment decision-making processes.

Environmental Research, 292, 123640

Abstract

Background: The association between neighborhood commercial food environments and cognitive function in older adults remains unclear, particularly in high-density urban settings. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the density of various types of retail food outlets and cognitive function in older adults within community settings. Methods: We analyzed data from the Beijing Community-based Cognitive Function Screening (CCFS) program, which included 61,842 older adults (mean age: 70.9 years; 60.5 % female) residing in 114 urban communities within the Fifth Ring Road of Beijing. Cognitive function was assessed using adapted versions of the Mini-Mental State Examination (Mini-MMSE; range: 0 – 13) and the Episodic Memory Test (EMT; range: 0 – 100). The primary exposure was total restaurant density, representing overall commercial food availability. Secondary exposures included the densities of fast-food restaurants, dessert/drink/pastry shops, and fruit and vegetable stores. Multilevel linear and logistic regression models were used to estimate associations, adjusting for sociodemo - graphic and environmental covariates. Results: The mean Mini-MMSE and EMT scores were 12.3 (SD 1.3) and 90.6 (SD 9.2), respectively. Each inter - quartile range (IQR) increase in total restaurant density was associated with lower Mini-MMSE ( β = 0.002, 95 % CI: 0.004 to 0.001) and EMT scores ( β = 0.004, 0.005 to 0.003). Fast-food restaurant density showed similar inverse associations; for Mini-MMSE, each IQR increase was associated with a 0.003-point decrease ( β = 0.003, 0.004 to 0.002), an effect comparable to the decline associated with one additional year of age. In contrast, higher density of fruit and vegetable stores was positively associated with Mini-MMSE scores ( β = 0.002, 0.001 to 0.003), and the ratio of fruit and vegetable stores to fast-food restaurants showed an even stronger association ( β = 0.003, 0.002 to 0.005). No significant associations were found between cognitive outcomes and the density of dessert, drink, or pastry shops. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that a more balanced neighborhood food environment, characterized by increased access to fruit and vegetable stores, particularly relative to fast-food outlets, may help attenuate the age-related decline in cognitive function among older adults.

Abstract

Green spaces offer a passive yet impactful component of urban design, with the potential to enhance cognitive function and reduce the risk of dementia in older adults. While the cognitive benefits of green spaces are recognized, particularly in improving cognitive performance among older populations, this area remains a critical yet underexplored domain within urban health research. This study aimed to investigate the association of exposure to green spaces with cognitive function among older adults across urban Beijing. A total of 62,333 participants from 114 communities were included in a city-wide screening program, utilizing an adapted version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Episodic Memory Test (EMT) to assess cognitive function. Green space exposure was quantified at the community level through multiple metrics, including accessibility (distance to large green spaces and parks), availability (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index [NDVI] and proportion of green space), and visibility (green view ratio). Multilevel linear and logistic regression models, adjusted for demographic and environmental covariates, were applied to data from 324 community healthcare centers. The findings indicated that greater exposure to green spaces, across all measured metrics, was associated with better cognitive function scores. A significant threshold was identified at 500 m from parks, beyond which cognitive function scores declined progressively with increasing distance. These results have important impli - cations for urban planning, suggesting the need for accessible, community-level green spaces to support cognitive health for older adults in urban China.

Can behavioural nudges promote reduced-salt dish orders on meal delivery apps?

Wenyue Li, Chao Song, Ying Cui, Yue Ma, Beisi Li, Zhongdan Chen, Paige Snider, Ying Long, Ailing Liu, Gauden Galea

Public Health, 242, 250-255

Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of educational health message and menu default options on a Meal Delivery App (MDA) in nudging consumers towards reduced-salt options in restaurants of China. Study design: We conducted a nudge-based intervention trial on an MDA named ELEME in China. Methods: Along with a control group, five intervention groups were formed utilizing different combinations of the three nudging treatments, including setting up a salt submenu for “ reduced salt ” default, a salt submenu for “ regular salt ” default, and a conventional educational health message on the ordering page. We recruited 903 restaurants from cities across different geographic regions and assigned them into either the control group or one of the five intervention groups. Results: After analyzing 870,942 meal orders, the results showed that the inclusion of a health message on the restaurants ’ ordering page was not effective to influence consumers to choose reduced-salt dishes (P > 0.1). A salt submenu that explicitly asked for consumers ’ preference for “ reduced salt ” or “ regular salt ” significantly increased consumers ’ likelihoods of choosing reduced-salt dishes in the unadjusted model (P < 0.1). Conclusions: Applying choice architecture changes as nudge-based interventions on MDAs were proven to be effective to promote consumers to order reduced salt dishes, and we consider these findings to have real-world implications for policymakers, researchers, and the private sectors.

Assessing urban emergency medical services accessibility for older adults considering ambulance trafficability using a deep learning approach

Zhuo Liu, Enjia Zhang, Shuo Pan, Sichun Li, Ying Long, Frank Witlox

Sustainable Cities and Society, 132, 106804

Abstract

Rapid urbanization and population aging have made equitable Emergency Medical Services (EMS) access for older adults a critical challenge in high-density cities. This study develops a deep learning framework to evaluate EMS accessibility, considering ambulance trafficability derived from street view images (SVIs). A Multi-Scale Vision Transformer (MSViT) model classifies SVIs into impassable, narrow, and passable categories to assess road conditions. Travel speeds are then assigned based on the classified trafficability and road hierarchy data. The framework measures the pre-hospital time through two-stage travel (emergency center-to-patient and patient-to-hospital), while evaluating accessibility through two complementary metrics: the inverse of the shortest total pre-hospital time, and a composite accessibility score with Gaussian time-decay weighting for all facilities within 15-minute service ranges. A case study in Beijing ’ s Old City demonstrated that considering ambulance trafficability reduces the estimated 15-minute coverage from 94.18 % to 83.14 %, revealing signif - icant overestimation when road conditions are neglected. Spatially, peripheral areas achieved better nearest- facility response times, whereas central regions dominated in comprehensive service coverage. Additionally, EMS accessibility patterns strongly correlated with older adults ’ distribution, showing limited income-based disparities. This study shifts the focus from supply-demand balancing to road system management in EMS accessibility, which can be integrated with existing methods to support more sustainable and targeted infra - structure optimization in aging cities.

Analysis of consumer requests for reduced-salt meals on a Chinese meal delivery app

Wenyue Li, Chao Song, Ying Cui, Beisi Li, Zhongdan Chen, Paige Snider, Yue Ma, Ailing Liu, Ying Long, Gauden Galea

Transactions in Urban Data, Science, and Technology, 3(3-4), 109-120

Abstract

The average salt intake of Chinese residents far exceeds the recommended standard. As food delivery becomes increasingly popular among the Chinese public, salt reduction for takeaways is important to reduce salt intake of Chinese residents. However, studies related to salt reduction of takeaways are still very few; especially, no study has explored consumers’ attitudes towards salt level in takeaway meals. The purpose of the study was to objectively measure consumers’ request for reduced-salt options when ordering meals online, from real takeaway orders. Consumer messages from 718 restaurants on a meal delivery app called ELEME in China were collected between July and December 2020. Reduced-salt messages from all consumer messages placed by consumers when ordering meals were extracted to determine the extent of customized salt reduction requests and to analyze the content of those requests. Feature words from messages identified through AI machine learning (Term Frequency and Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency method) were extracted and analyzed. Out of 25,982 consumer messages, 10,549 (40.6%) were reduced-salt messages. Consumers, in general, had the demand to customize dishes with less salt – “less salt” was the most frequently mentioned word for taste preference. Populations with special health and nutritional needs may have a higher demand for reduced-salt meals according to these messages. The study showed definite patterns of demand in a sizable minority of orders and identified the feature words and concepts that could feed into future efforts to create an effective choice architecture in online meal delivery platforms.

Association of neighborhood physical activity facilities with incident cardiovascular disease

Yulin Huang, Huimin Zhao, Qiuju Deng, Yue Qi, Jiayi Sun, Miao Wang, Jie Chang, Piaopiao Hu, Yuwei Su, Ying Long, Jing Liu

International Journal of Health Geographics, 22(1), 16

Abstract

Background The availability of physical activity (PA) facilities in neighborhoods is hypothesized to influence cardio- vascular disease (CVD), but evidence from individual-level long-term cohort studies is limited. We aimed to assess the association between neighborhood exposure to PA facilities and CVD incidence. Methods A total of 4658 participants from the Chinese Multi-provincial Cohort Study without CVD at baseline (2007–2008) were followed for the incidence of CVD, coronary heart disease (CHD), and stroke. Availability of PA facilities was defined as both the presence and the density of PA facilities within a 500-m buffer zone around the par- ticipants’ residential addresses. Time-dependent Cox regression models were performed to estimate the associations between the availability of PA facilities and risks of incident CVD, CHD, and stroke. Results During a median follow-up of 12.1 years, there were 518 CVD events, 188 CHD events, and 355 stroke events. Analyses with the presence indicator revealed significantly lower risks of CVD (hazard ratio [HR] 0.80, 95% confidence interval ([CI] 0.65–0.99) and stroke (HR 0.76, 95% CI 0.60–0.97) in participants with PA facilities in the 500-m buffer zone compared with participants with no nearby facilities in fully adjusted models. In analyses with the density indicator, exposure to 2 and ≥ 3 PA facilities was associated with 35% (HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.47–0.91) and 28% (HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.56– 0.92) lower risks of CVD and 40% (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.40–0.90) and 38% (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.46–0.84) lower risks of stroke compared with those without any PA facilities in 500-m buffer, respectively. Effect modifications between presence of PA facilities and a history of hypertension for incident stroke (P = 0.049), and a history of diabetes for incident CVD (P = 0.013) and stroke (P = 0.009) were noted. Conclusions Residing in neighborhoods with better availability of PA facilities was associated with a lower risk of inci- dent CVD. Urban planning intervention policies that increase the availability of PA facilities could contribute to CVD prevention.

Associations between urban exposome and recurrence risk among survivors of acute myocardial infarction in Beijing, China

Ningrui Liu, Qiuju Deng, Piaopiao Hu, Jie Chang, Yan Li, Yuyang Zhang, Yuwei Su, Jing Liu, Ying Long

Environmental Research, 238, 117267

Abstract

Few previous studies have investigated the impacts of coexposure to multiple urban environmental factors on the prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) events. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between the urban exposome and AMI recurrence. We used data from 88,509 AMI patients from a large cohort obtained from the Beijing Cardiovascular Disease Surveillance System between 2013 and 2019. Twenty-six types of urban exposures were assessed within 300-m, 500-m, and 1000-m buffers of patients ’ home addresses in the baseline and cumulative average levels. We used the Cox proportional hazard model along with the Elastic Net (ENET) algorithm to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) of recurrent AMI per interquartile range increase in each selected urban exposure. The increased risk of AMI recurrence was significantly associated with lower urban function diversity in the 500-m buffer, longer distance to subway stations and higher PM 2.5 for both baseline and cu - mulative average exposure. The cumulative averages of two urban factors, including the distance to parks, and the density of fruit and vegetable shops in the 1000-m buffer, were also identified as significant factors affecting the risk of AMI recurrence. These findings can help improve the urban design for promoting human cardio - vascular health.

Abstract

Background: To examine the association between urban neighborhood disorder and the recurrence risk of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in central Beijing, China. Methods: Recurrent AMI was identified by the Beijing Monitoring System for Cardiovascular Diseases through the end of 2019 for patients discharged with AMI between 2007 and 2017. Cox proportional hazards models were performed to estimate associations between neighborhood disorder and AMI recurrence. Results: Of 66,238 AMI patients, 11,872 had a recurrent event, and 3117 died from AMI during a median follow- up of 5.92 years. After covariate adjustment, AMI patients living in the high tertile of neighborhood disorder had a higher recurrence risk (hazard ratio [HR] 1.08, 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.03 – 1.14) compared with those in the low tertile. A stronger association was noted for fatal recurrent AMI (HR 1.21, 95 % CI 1.10 – 1.34). The association was mainly observed in females (HR 1.04, 95 % CI: 1.02 to 1.06). Conclusions: Serious neighborhood disorder may contribute to higher recurrence risk, particularly fatal recur - rence, among AMI patients. Policies to eliminate neighborhood disorders may play an important role in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Assessing smoking-related behaviours using massive online search query data

Ting Zhou, Long Chen, Zhaoxi Zhang, Zhengying Liu, Ying Long

Transactions in Urban Data, Science, and Technology, 2(2-3), 140-151

Abstract

Online search queries have been used in various behaviour studies. As smoking has become a global health issue, studies that assess smoking-related behaviours using online search queries have faced limitations in data utilization and study design. This study conducts comparative analyses to investigate changes in smoking-related behaviours represented by online search volumes. Baidu search queries from 2013 to 2017 were used to examine the search volume containing four groups of smoking-related search keywords. A validation process was used to validate the proposed method by comparing changes in search queries with the observed tobacco consumption. The results show changes in smoking- related behaviours assessed by online search queries at the city level in China. The validation experiments illustrate the consistency between changes in search volumes and tobacco consumption. Thus, online search queries were verified to be an effective instrument for assessing smoking-related behaviours, and this study sheds light on broader behaviour studies and policy assessments.

Abstract

In history, the development o f technologies constantly reshaped and promote d the evolution of human urban civilization. A t present, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is also changing and sha ping the future of cities with a series of disruptive technologies. A growing number of studies are focusing on the evolving trends and construction methods of future cities, but those different stud ies are isolated from each other, and there is still a lack of sufficien t communication and discussion from all walks o f life to form a consensus.

Abstract

Objectives T o assess overall and gender- specific associa tions between marital status and out- of- hospital coronar y death (OHCD) compared with patients surviving to hospital admission. Design A cross- sectional stud y based on linkage of administrative health databases. Setting Beijing, China. Participants F rom 2007 to 2019, 378 883 patients with acute coronary event were identified in the Beijing Monitoring System for Cardiovascular Diseases, a validated city- wide registra tion system based on individual linkage of vital registration and hospital discharge data. Outcome measures OHCD was defined as coronar y death occurring before admission. Multilevel modified Poisson regression models were used to calculate the prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% CIs. Results Among 378 883 acute coronar y events, OHCD accounted for 33.8%, with a higher proportion in women compared with men (41.5% vs 28.7%, p<0.001). Not being married was associated with a higher proportion of OHCD in both genders, with a stronger association in women (PR 2.18, 95% CI 2.10 to 2.26) than in men (PR 1.97, 95% CI 1.91 to 2.02; p for interaction <0.001). The associations of OHCD with never being married (PR 1.98, 95% CI 1.88 to 2.08) and being divorced (PR 2.54, 95% CI 2.42 to 2.67) were stronger in men than in women (never married: PR 0.98, 95% CI 0.82 to 1.16; divorced: PR 1.47, 95% CI 1.34 to 1.61) (p for interaction <0.001 for both). Being widowed was associated with a higher proportion of OHCD in both genders, with a stronger association in women (PR 2.26, 95% CI 2.17 to 2.35) compared with men (PR 1.89, 95% CI 1.84 to 1.95) (p for interaction <0.001). Conclusions Not being married was independently associa ted with a higher proportion of OHCD and the associations differed by gender. Our study may aid the development of gender- specific public health inter ventions in high- risk popula tions characterised by marital status to reduce OHCD burden.

Measuring Accessibility to Healthcare Using Taxi Trajectories Data: A Case Study of Acute Myocardial Infarction Cases in Beijing

Yuwei Su, Zhengying Liu, Jie Chang, Qiuju Deng, Yuyang Zhang, Jing Liu, Ying Long

International Journal of Health Policy and Management

Abstract

Several methods have been applied to measure healthcare accessibility, ie, the Euclidean distance, the network distance, and the transport time based on speed limits. However, these methods generally produce less accurate estimates than actual measurements. This research proposed a method to estimate historical healthcare accessibility more accurately by using taxi Global Positioning System (GPS) traces. The proposed method’s advantages were evaluated vis a case study using acute myocardial infarction (AMI) cases in Beijing in 2008. Comparative analyses of the new measure and three conventionally used measures suggested that the median estimated transport time to the closest hospital with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) capability for AMI patients was 5.72 minutes by the taxi GPS trace-based measure, 2.42 minutes by the network distance-based measure, 2.28 minutes by the speed limit-based measure, 1.73 minutes by the Euclidean distance-based measure; and the estimated proportion of patients who lived within 5 minutes of a PCI-capable hospital was 38.17%, 89.20%, 92.52%, 95.05%, respectively. The three conventionally used measures underestimated the travel time cost and overestimated the percentage of patients with timely access to healthcare facilities. In addition, the new measure more accurately identifies the areas with low or high access to healthcare facilities. The taxi GPS trace-based accessibility measure provides a promising start for more accurately estimating accessibility to healthcare facilities, increasing the use of medical records in studying the effects of historical healthcare accessibility on health outcomes, and evaluating how accessibility to healthcare changes over time.

Abstract

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) poses a serious disease burden in China, but studies on small-area characteristics of AMI incidence are lacking. We therefore examined temporal trends and geographic variations in AMI incidence at the township level in Beijing. In this cross-sectional analysis, 259,830 AMI events during 2007–2018 from the Beijing Cardiovascular Disease Surveillance System were included. We estimated AMI incidence for 307 consistent townships during consecutive 3-year periods with a Bayesian spatial model. From 2007 to 2018, the median AMI incidence in townships increased from 216.3 to 231.6 per 100,000, with a greater relative increase in young and middle-aged males (35–49 years: 54.2%; 50–64 years: 33.2%). The most pronounced increases in the relative inequalities was observed among young residents (2.1 to 2.8 for males and 2.8 to 3.4 for females). Townships with high rates and larger relative increases were primarily located in Beijing’s northeastern and southwestern peri-urban areas. However, large increases among young and middle- aged males were observed throughout peri-urban areas. AMI incidence and their changes over time varied substantially at the township level in Beijing, especially among young adults. Targeted mitigation strategies are required for high-risk populations and areas to reduce health disparities across Beijing.

Source document (2021)

Abstract

Background: Chinese people on average consume almost twice as much salt as recommended by the World Health Organization. In recent years, dining out and ordering food online are increasingly popular, especially for urban residents. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of different settings on a digital food delivery App in nudging consumers towards reduced salt options through a randomized controlled trial in China. Methods and Analysis: This is a randomized controlled trial with matched restaurants randomized to five parallel intervention groups plus a control group. Participating restaurants are recruited via open invitation and targeted invitation on a voluntary basis and are free t o withdraw from the study at anytime. Each enrolled restaurant can select 1 -3 of their most popular dishes to participate in this study. The recruitment ends at the end of June 2021. As o f June 30, 285 restaurants enrolled for intervention groups and successfully completed interface set-up requirements. The primary outcome of this study is to investigate the differences in customer ordering behaviors regarding salt preference that result from changing the default settings and/or in combination with health me ssages before placing the order. The primary outcome will be measured by the difference between the number of regular salt orders and the number of reduced salt orders amongst the five intervention groups, and between each intervention group and the control group. We will collect order data at the end of the 2-month study period from the food delivery App. The secondary outcome is to measure if reduced the salt version of the participating dishes has less salt content than the regular version. The secondary outcome will be measured by lab testing salt content of randomly sampled dishes during the study period. In addition, we will also conduct pre - and post - intervention surveys with participating restaurants to assess their knowledge, attitude, and pra ctice regarding salt reduction, and their perceptions on how such intervention affects their business, if at all. We will not include findings from the pre- and post-intervention interviews as an outcome but will use them to inform future restaurant- based salt reduction promotions. Discussion: The study will test whether changing in the choice architecture on the digital food ordering platform will promote healthier ordering behavior among consumers.

Population Exposure to Ambient PM2.5 at the Subdistrict Level in China

Ying Long, Jianghao Wang, Kang Wu, Junjie Zhang

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 15(12), 2683

Abstract

Fine-particulate pollution is a major public health concern in China. Accurate assessment of the population exposed to PM 2.5 requires high-resolution pollution and population information. This paper assesses China’s potential population exposure to PM 2.5, maps its spatiotemporal variability, and simulates the effects of the recent air pollution control policy. We relate satellite-based Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) retrievals to ground-based PM 2.5 observations. We employ block cokriging (BCK) to improve the spatial interpolation of PM2.5 distribution. We use the subdistrict level population data to estimate and map the potential population exposure to PM2.5 pollution in China at the subdistrict level, the smallest administrative unit with public demographic information. During 8 April 2013 and 7 April 2014, China’s population-weighted annual average PM 2.5 concentration was nearly 7 times the annual average level suggested by the World Health Organization (WHO). About 1322 million people, or 98.6% of the total population, were exposed to PM2.5 at levels above WHO’s daily guideline for longer than half a year. If China can achieve its Action Plan on Prevention and Control of Air Pollution targets by 2017, the population exposed to PM2.5 above China’s daily standard for longer than half a year will be reduced by 85%.
