Liao, S., Pan, W., Wen, L. et al. Temperature-related hospitalization burden under climate change. Nature
Objective:
- Disentangle the influences of the built environment from personal activities through a natural experiment, and quantify the impact of walkability on changes in physical activity levels at the individual and population scale
Case:
- US individuals
Methodology:
- Walkability
Data Source
- Azumio Argus smartphone
- BE
Findings:
- Relocations to more walkable cities are associated with increases of about 1,100 daily steps, equivalent to 11 minutes more walking activity
