Geographic and socioeconomic variation of sodium and potassium intake in Italy: results from the MINISAL-GIRCSI programme by Simona Giampaoli, Francesco P Cappuccio, Chen Ji, Luigi Palmieri, Diego Vanuzzo, Chiara Donfrancesco, Renato Ippolito, Pasquale Strazzullo

“…Objectives To assess geographic and socioeconomic gradients in sodium and potassium intake in Italy.Setting Cross-sectional survey in Italy.Participants 3857 men and women, aged 39–79 years, randomly sampled in 20 regions (as part of a National cardiovascular survey of 8714 men and women).Primary outcome measures Participants’ dietary sodium and potassium intakes were measured by 24 h urinary sodium and potassium excretions. 2 indicators measured socioeconomic status: education and occupation. Bayesian geoadditive models were used to assess spatial and socioeconomic patterns of sodium and potassium intakes accounting for sociodemographic, anthropometric and behavioural confounders.Results There was a significant north-south pattern of sodium excretion in Italy. …”

Pearl River Delta: Scales, Times, Domains by Liang Xiong

“…Applied in the PRD, the knowledge of the development of the urban landscape had been inventoried, synthesized, and presented in its own spatial-temporal model using maps. Three types of processes (landscape formation, infrastructure extension, and urbanization) were identified according to their speeds. …”
