Description
Antoni Colom and a large team asked in 2026 whether walkable neighborhoods soften the link between poor areas and body fat in older adults. They used baseline data from 1,286 city dwellers aged 55 to 75 years, all with metabolic syndrome plus overweight or obesity, in six Andalusian cities in Spain.
Area poverty came from the 2011 Spanish Deprivation Index, and walkability combined population density, street crossing density, and access to daily services. Body measures included waist size, the ratio of waist to hip, and a body shape index, all directly measured. Two-level models tested whether walkability changed the poverty and fat link, a question for fair city planning.
