Determining factors affecting flood risk perception among local communities in Iran by Moslem Savari, Ahmad Jafari, Abbas Sheheytavi

“…Correlation coefficient results indicated significant relationships between age, frequency of flood occurrence, education, distance of water channels and rivers from properties, flood exposure, housing quality, risk information, flood coping information, and financial incentives for recovery with dimensions of risk perception, namely preparedness, worry, awareness, and experience. Additionally, hierarchical regression results demonstrated that these variables could explain 55.4% of the variance in FRP. …”

Factors associated with sedentary behavior among ELSA-Brasil participants: ecological model by Francisco José Gondim Pitanga, Sheila Maria Alvim Matos, Maria da Conceição Almeida, Rosane Härter Griep, Maria Carmem Viana, Enirtes Caetano Prates Melo, Estela Aquino

“…The study comprising a total of 13,765 individuals of both sexes participating in the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) assessed in the second wave (2012-2014). e SB was measured using questions related to sitting time during the week and weekend. e associated factors were assessed by face-to-face interviews, with blocks of questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. A hierarchical ecological model was built with all possible factors associated with SB: sociodemographic environment (age and level of education; economic status); behavioral environment (leisure time physical activity, commuting physical activity, beer consumption, current smoking); and biological environment (overweight, obesity and abdominal obesity). …”
