Samenvatting
Previous studies exploring the relationship of neighborhood characteristics with metabolic conditions have focused on middle aged adults but none have investigated associations in older adults. We explored the relationship of neighborhood characteristics with diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic conditions in 384 community dwelling women aged 70-79 years enrolled at baseline in the Women’s Health and Aging Study II.
