- Built environments and obesity in disadvantaged populations. (2009, background): “Over the long term, one’s neighborhood may affect not only the inclination to be physically active but also one’s ability to walk and live independently ( 103 ).”
- The relationship of urban design to human health and condition (2003, background): “Balfour and Kaplan (2002)report that poor lighting, excessive noise, heavy traffic, and lack of public transit are associated with loss of physical function in adults over 55 years of age.”
- Ageing and Urbanization: Can Cities be Designed to Foster Active Ageing? (2010, background): “Neighbourhood problems associated with the largest increase in risk were excessive noise, inadequate lighting, and heavy traffic.(87) Housing design too, may influence health and social well-being.”
- Invited Commentary: Places, People, and Health (2002, unknown): “In addition, Balfour and Kaplan (14) focus on functional loss, an especially important health outcome in the elderly.”
- Anticipated Support From Neighbors and Physical Functioning During Later Life (2005, background): “In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the relationship between neighborhood characteristics and health (e.g., Balfour and Kaplan 2002; Kawachi and Berkman 2003).”
- Socioeconomic position and health among persons with diabetes mellitus: a conceptual framework and review of the literature. (2004, background): “Evidence is strong for a relation between supportive social ties and better physical and mental health (140–142) and, conversely, between social isolation and greater morbidity and mortality (143, 144).”
