Summary: Grand avenues in US cities, like New York City's Fifth Avenue and Washington D.C.'s Massachusetts Avenue, serve as symbols of political, cultural, and entertainment power. While birthplaces of grand avenues tend to have healthier and wealthier residents, challenges such as their association with white supremacy exist. Rebirth efforts in cities like St. Louis, Cleveland, Detroit, and Buffalo focus on education, healthcare, and entertainment to restore their former prominence.

Summary: This study examines the impact of household wealth gap on individuals' mental health and finds a negative correlation between household wealth gap and mental health. Mechanism analysis suggests that household wealth gap may affect individuals' mental health through influencing their health insurance investment and neighborhood relations.

Summary: This paper examines the relationship between neighborhood characteristics and the spread of COVID-19 through a case study of Shenzhen. Contrary to traditional understanding, it finds that wealthier and larger neighborhoods were more likely to be infected in the first wave of the pandemic. This finding enriches the understanding of the role of neighborhoods in the spread of the pandemic and has important public policy implications.

Summary: This study investigates the causal link between education and smoking behavior in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) and finds that higher education significantly lowers tobacco consumption, especially for women. The results suggest that education policy can be an effective tool to reduce tobacco consumption in low-education settings.

Summary: Neighborhood conditions have a significant impact on wealth accumulation, but this impact varies by race/ethnicity and homeownership. White homeowners benefit the most from improvements in neighborhood conditions, while black adults, regardless of homeownership, face a double disadvantage in the neighborhood-wealth relationship.

Summary: The study found that individuals living in economically advantaged neighborhoods were less likely to rate their health as poor, with this relationship being mediated by the perception of violence. Violence perception may explain part of the impact of neighborhood socioeconomic disparity on self-rated health.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review to identify key variables for constructing neighborhood-level disadvantage indices, with education and employment being the most prevalent variables. The review identified 7 core domains, which should be considered for inclusion in future indices to enhance understanding of neighborhood-level disadvantage in older adults. Targeting specific domains can lead to the development of a new US-specific index with health policy applications, especially for characterizing the impact of lived disadvantage in older adults.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of demographic factors and urban-rural differences on household wealth distribution using data from the 2012-2018 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS). The study finds that the household wealth Gini coefficient in China has significantly increased, with wealthier households accumulating wealth at a faster rate than those at the bottom. Additionally, negative wealth households, hand-to-mouth households, and indebted households are all on the rise. Demographic factors such as education, average household age, elderly numbers, and household size have small marginal effects on the overall trend of wealth distribution.

Summary: Social determinants of health are structures and conditions in various environments that affect health outcomes. The adoption of recommended measurement protocols for social determinants of health will advance minority health research and provide standard protocols for all studies. Nineteen measurement protocols for various social determinants of health have been released in the PhenX Toolkit.

Summary: This paper aims to develop a composite score for subjective socioeconomic position (SEP) based on education and income, and examine its performance in predicting health-related quality of life (HRQoL) inequalities. Education was found to have the most influence on SEP, while income primarily added weight for the highest income category. The analysis of the composite SEP score indicated a clear social gradient in HRQoL measures.

Summary: This scoping review provides an evidence base of existing and novel community-level indicators that are associated with mental health. Community factors related to the physical and social environment should be routinely recorded and considered as influencing factors or potentially underestimated confounders and should be analyzed and included in clinical outcomes, data, monitoring, and surveillance as they may reveal new trends and targets for public mental health interventions.

Summary: The study found that built environment variables were associated with baseline obesity prevalence and body mass index, but had limited impact on weight trajectories over time. Adjusted regression models showed that higher density metrics and frequency counts were associated with lower weight gain at the 5-year follow-up.

Summary: The study found that the agreement between commercially-sourced residential histories and participants' baseline addresses varied by sociodemographic groups, potentially introducing bias. Additionally, differences in stroke risk associations were observed between different sources of address data, highlighting the importance of considering data sources in epidemiological studies.

Summary: This study examined the associations between neighborhood built environment, residential property values, and changes in body mass index (BMI). The results showed that at baseline, road intersection density, access to food sources, and residential property values were inversely associated with BMI. After one year, participants with higher density and more fast-food restaurants nearby showed less BMI gain, while after two years, higher residential property values were predictive of lower BMI gain. There was also evidence of differences in these associations based on age, gender, and education.

Summary: This study examines the impact of living close or far away from new transit options on transit use and physical activity. The results indicate that the opening of a new light rail line did not significantly change the frequency of transit use among nearby residents, but did result in a small increase in transit-related walking.
