UK Biobank Urban Morphometric Platform (UKBUMP)
UKBUMP: A high resolution spatial database of 750 plus health-specific urban morphological metrics (morphometrics)
Highly characterized exposures: Measured within functional neighbourhood of participants’ geocoded dwelling
Niche methodology that can be automated and replicated: State-of-the-art spatial and network analyses algorithms and models on multiple national level UK databases
UKBUMP BE database linked to UK Biobank health database.

UK BIOBANK URBAN MORPHOMETRIC PLATFORM (UKBUMP)
0.5 m resolution index of greenery (as captured by NDVI modelled from 0.5 m colour infrared imagery.
A street-level physical accessibility captured at multiple spatial scale
Terrain as mean and std. in slope within 0.5, 1 Km buffer
Density of 200+ health-influencing destinations within 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2.0 Km street buffer of a UKB participants’ address
Non-beneficial: Air pollution, neighbourhood deprivation

• 419 562 adults of UK Biobank cohort, aged 37–73 yrs, 21 UK cities
• Housing unit density within 1 km street buffer vs adiposity and physical activity. Adjusted for retail, public transport, street-level movement and individual covariates
• Curvilinear dose-response curve (turning point at 1800 housing units/sq km)- Below 1800: obesogenic (+10% higher odds of obesity, 14% higher odds of reporting low PA): suburban sprawl effect
- above 1800: leptogenic (-9% lower odds of obesity, 5% lower odds of reporting low PA): physical activity – related mechanism
• Planning suburban densification -> Public health opportunity

• Examined associations between green exposure, adiposity and travel behaviour
• Models controlled for individual-level covariates, SES and built environment exposures (retail density, street walkability, terrain, and PM10 and PM2.5)
• 3.2% lower odds of obesity and 9.3% higher odds of active mode of non-work travel per interquartile increment in mean NDVI greenness
• Beneficial effects of greenness more pronounced in high urbanicity and low SES subgroups
• Optimized green allocation, design ameliorate health externalities of obesogenic environment

Sig. beneficial effects in elderly: lower BMI and risk of obesity
N=333,183 UK Biobank participants

• N =94 879 participants of the UK Biobank cohort
• Models controlled for other environment metrics (street-level movement density, terrain, and fine particulate exposures)
• 4% lower odds of MDD per interquartile increment in NDVI greenness
• Optimized allocation and design of residential green enhances mental wellbeing and mental capital of cities

• N=429,334 participants of UK Biobank cohort
• Neighbourhood walkability had a protective effect upon hypertension outcomes (3% lower odds of hypertension), diastolic (β=-0.358 mmHg) and systolic pressures (β=-0.833 mmHg)
• Results consistent across spatial scales of 1, 1.5, 2 km street catchments
• Pronounced protective effects among those aged 50-60 years, female, in employment, residing in low SES, high residential density and greener areas
• City design -> optimizing walkability -> Hypertension prevention & control

• Cohort study of change in BMI on 3 occasions over 12 years (encompassing phases 3, 4 & 5)
• 684 men with complete covariate data• Change in BMI associated with:
• Land use mix • Density of retail, churches and recreation• Street-level movement• Slope variability

• N=66,820 participants from Hong Kong Chinese Elderly Health Services cohort
• Daily concentrations of air pollution for each participant measured by applying inverse distance weighting based on cohort participants’ residential address
• Greenness measured from satellite-derived normalized difference vegetation index at two time points.
Evidence of significant interaction for risk of mortality from pneumonia between nitrogen dioxide, PM2.5, O3 and residential greenness.

Does residential greenness modify the short-term association between air pollution and respiratory mortality among older adults in Hong Kong?

Housing• Social interactions • Quality of indoor micro-
environment and sensory stimulations
• Physical functioning• Ventilation, thermal
comfort
Street design• Street network configuration• Ease of access to neighbours(sense of community)• Walkability • Accessibility to services• Perception of safety
Urban green• Restorative potential • Improving air quality • Encouraging physical activity • Aesthetic values • Offsetting heat island effect
Neighbourhood density• High density, mixed land use • Compactness, pedestrian access • Exposure to natural light and ventilation • Livability • Visual and physical access to the outdoors
Perception of the environment
Potential city-level predictors of healthy longevity

Conclusion: Smart city promoting healthy longevity• Smart mobility: door-to-door seamless transport across different modes,
collective mobility, and adapted-mobility• Adaptable age-friendly housing, buildings and infrastructure • Compact living with integrated infrastructures and supportive networks• Age-, disable-friendly design: familiar, legible, distinct, safe comfortable• Optimized design to enhance accessibility and segregate risks• Adaptable assistive-technologies in public space• Internalization and integration of healthy longevity on to the policy and
politics• Elderly as key stakeholders and decision makers
