TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how road facility designs, like street density, connectivity, and proximity to Ciclovia lanes, are associated with physical activity, while other attributes of the built environment, like density and land-use mixtures, are not.

TL;DR: The consequences of the overnight and morning fast, particularly among the children who were nutritionally at risk, included slower stimulus discrimination, increased errors, and slower memory recall and it is proposed that these alterations result from a state of metabolic stress in which homeostatic mechanisms work to maintain circulating glucose concentrations.

TL;DR: Ciclovías have potential for positive public health outcomes, but evidence on their effectiveness is limited and the different stages of new and established programs offer a unique opportunity for transnational studies aimed at assessing their public health impact.

TL;DR: It is plausible that among stunted children, being relatively overweight (by the weight-for-height index) poses a cognitive risk that can be partially reversed by a school breakfast, as indicated by a positive and significant weight x treatment interaction.

TL;DR: The study showed elevated rates of overweight across the income level spectrum and factors such as urban development stage, income, education, and gender posed differential relationships with the risk of overweight must be considered in designing future public health interventions.
