Personal Social Networks, Built Environment and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: a Prospective Investigation with Young Adults
EF 2021-22
Résumé
Who we know and where we live likely influences how active we are, how well we eat, and ultimately our heart health. In this study, we describe how the close relationships of young adults change over time, during a period of life that usually involves many important life changes, in 300 young adults who are part of an ongoing study on the development of obesity. In particular, we describe the health behaviours of these close ties, and how and where we interact with them. We then explore how the characteristics of those we are close to are related to participants' own behaviours and health profile over time. Measures for this study will be obtained mostly through online questionnaires completed every 9 months for 3 years. We will discuss our findings with researchers, doctors, public health experts, as well as patients and citizens to better understand our findings and to think of ways we could use them to improve heart health, for example by making surroundings healthier, and providing opportunities to connect with the people we know in heart healthy ways.

Abstract
Who we know and where we live likely influences how active we are, how well we eat, and ultimately our heart health. In this study, we describe how the close relationships of young adults change over time, during a period of life that usually involves many important life changes, in 300 young adults who are part of an ongoing study on the development of obesity. In particular, we describe the health behaviours of these close ties, and how and where we interact with them. We then explore how the characteristics of those we are close to are related to participants' own behaviours and health profile over time. Measures for this study will be obtained mostly through online questionnaires completed every 9 months for 3 years. We will discuss our findings with researchers, doctors, public health experts, as well as patients and citizens to better understand our findings and to think of ways we could use them to improve heart health, for example by making surroundings healthier, and providing opportunities to connect with the people we know in heart healthy ways.
