A supportive urban environment can prevent or delay the progress of cognitive decline. There is evidence for the existence of mechanistic pathways between the urban environment and cognitive decline, but the interrelations between these pathways are unclear. In this study, we aimed to map the mechanistic pathways by which urban environment factors affect cognitive decline in adults older than 50 years. ⋯ UK Research and Innovation.

Unhealthy behaviours are associated with disproportionate mortality among socioeconomically deprived populations. Previous studies exploring that disproportionate harm do not examine weighted scores, or examine few behaviours. We aimed to create an extended weighted health behaviour score and examine the effect of socioeconomic status on the association between score and all-cause mortality. ⋯ HMEF is supported by a Medical Research Council Clinical Research Training Fellowship (grant number MR/T001585/1), which covered the costs of accessing the data herein.

Increasingly, climate change policies are emerging across Europe. Policies addressing adaptation (adjusting the effects of climate change on public health) are being implemented after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to identify issues in climate adaptation implementation for public health and understand the health implications from responses after COVID-19. ⋯ This project has received part-funding from the Enhancing Belmont Research Action to support EU policy making on climate change and health project, which is part of the EU's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement number 101003966). The research was part-funded by the National Institute for Health Research Health Protection Research Unit in Environmental Change and Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in partnership with Public Health England, the Met Office, and University College London (grant number PHSEZT6210).
