Brown, Barbara B. | Physical activity mediates the relationship between perceived crime safety and obesity | Objective. The current cross-sectional study tests whether low perceived crime safety is associated with body mass index (BMI) and obesity risk and whether less moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) accounts for part of this relationship. Method. Adults (n=864) from a relatively low-income a... | | 2014-01-01 |

McDaniel, Susan | Social bases of neonatal and postneonatal mortality: an ecological analysis of Alberta, Canada | Canada's steady downward trend in mortality in the twentieth century has not been matched by a similar decline in infant mortality. This paper examines, by reference to census divisions in Alberta, the degree to which neonatal and postneonatal mortality are related to environmental factors. Although... | Death; Exogeneous; Rates | 1981 |

Smith, Ken R.; Bean, Lee Lawrence; Mineau, Geraldine Page; Fraser, Alison M.; Lane, Diana | Infant deaths in Utah, 1850-1939 | Of all the health revolutions that have taken place in the United States since 1850, the reduction of infant mortality is arguably the most dramatic and far-reaching. Because of the incompleteness and unreliability of surviving vital records,, we will probably never know precisely the rate of infan... | Death; Utah; Infant mortality | 2002 |

Smith, Ken R.; Zick, Cathleen D. | Risk of mortality following widowhood: age and sex differences by mode of death | This study examines how spouses' deaths from sudden or lengthy illnesses differentially affect the mortality risks of surviving widows and widowers by age. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we find the mortality risk differs by gender, age, and type of widowhood.

Smith, Ken R. | The association between adult mortality risk and family history of longevity: the moderating effects of socioeconomic status | Studies consistently show that increasing levels of socioeconomic status (SES) and having a familial history of longevity reduce the risk of mortality. But do these two variables interact, such that individuals with lower levels of SES, for example, may experience an attenuated longevity penalty by ... | | 2014-01-01 |
