Kevin Lau from the Chinese University of Hong Kong describes his latest research from Hong Kong on mapping built environmental factors associated with depression in older people. The health and well-being of citizens is strongly associated with the living quality of the high-density urban environment, for example: crowdedness, compactness, pollution, and urban heat islands. Elderly people are particularly vulnerable as their mental health can be less resilient. We therefore need to know how our built environment affects the health and wellness of elderly people so that we can provide a better living environment for promoting active ageing in our society.  Photo from South China Morning Post - read full article CUHK Jockey Club Institute of Ageing was established in 2014 and has been working towards making Hong Kong a global age-friendly city. We have been working on how the built environment affects mortality, geriatric depression, frailty and cognitive function. Based on a large-scale cohort study started in 2001, we obtained a wide variety of health outcomes for our research studies. For urban designers, it is important to identify the features of our built environment that affect the health and well-being of elderly people so that we can design better living spaces for them to age healthily. We identified high risk areas for geriatric depression in Hong Kong based on the results of statistical modeling and spatial mapping. The results of this research in brief We found that areas experiencing rapid redevelopment have the highest association with risk of depression in older people because of the vastly changing physical and social landscape. The changing building form is associated with changes in the composition of community amenities and social environment. Planning and design of future development will have to take into account such changes and prevent the deterioration of living quality of elderly people.

My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.

Dr Amber is a life saver! Not only do I love him as a life saver but also because his spells never fails. He rescued me from poverty and brought happiness and peace into my home. I've been playing the lottery since I was 22 years old and the biggest amount I have ever won is $1200 bucks. On this fateful day, my life turned around from story to glory when I found various reviews of this man named Dr Amber on the Internet saying that he's the best when it comes to casting of powerful spells. This man is a very strong Haiti Voodoo Doc who gives out numbers that can never fail to play the lottery. After all my years of laboring and struggling to win the lottery, I finally won ( $200,000.00) after Dr Amber casted a lottery spell for me and gave me the correct numbers to play the lottery. Right now, my long awaited blessings has finally come to me and I thank Dr Amber for his help. Get in touch with him for any help via email: ( amberlottotemple@yahoo.com ) or with his current number +1 (808) 481-5132.
