The interplay between sex, lifestyle factors and built environment on 20-year cardiovascular disease incidence; the ATTICA study (2002–2022)

Targeted strategic city planning efforts promoting healthier lifestyle-related behaviors at the micro-environment level could potentially mitigate built-environment impacts on CVD health.
