Domain-specific

• Walkability
  • Higher Walk Scores correlate with greater pedestrian trip rates, higher overall physical activity, lower BMI, and lower cardiovascular and metabolic disease prevalence across a wide range of North American and international studies

    This sourceThe 14-city international study finding that objectively measured neighbourhood walkability (density, intersection density, land-use mix, transit and park access) is positively associated with adults' moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

    “People who live in walkable neighbourhoods that are densely populated, have interconnected streets, and are close to shops, services, restaurants, public transit, and parks tend to be more physically active than residents of less-walkable areas.”

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
