The effect of the urban built environment on the prevalence rate of chronic diseases in the community neighborhood level: a case study in Qingdao, China
The findings highlight that optimizing community green spaces, mitigating air pollution, and strategic public investment can reduce chronic disease burdens in high-density urban contexts. This study provides locally relevant empirical evidence for health-oriented urban planning in LMICs and underscores the necessity of integrating environmental, social, and health policies to promote urban health equity.
