Authors concluded #obesity, #sarcopenia, and sarcopenic obesity have sex-specific associations with bone mineral density in Indian older adults, finding obesity may be associated with better bone health in women but not men. #APCAPS

Shorter distance of nearest #alcohol outlet was associated with increased alcohol consumption. Higher #WaistCircumference and #BloodPressure were associated with shorter distance to and higher density of alcohol outlets. #APCAPS

Authors concluded their findings did not support an inverse association between parent's childhood #socioeconomic conditions or stature and offspring’s risk of #CardiovascularDisease. #APCAPS

A study using #APCAPS data evaluated the association between changes in built-up land use around residential areas and #cardiometabolic risk factors in an #urbanizing area. tinyurl.com/sam3tdau

Authors concluded increases in built-up land use around residences were consistently associated with higher levels of #cardiometabolic risk factors. Findings support the need for better integration of health considerations in #urbanplanning. #APCAPS
