“…However, these disciplines have been divergent and currently operate in separate fields (Harris et al, 2016;Koohsari et al, 2013;Wernham, 2011). Yet recent literature has linked land use to a wide range of illness and death causes in developed nations, including the asthma (Son et al, 2015), high blood pressure (Langerudi et al, 2015), cancer (LopezCima et al, 2011), cardiovascular disease (Chum and O'Campo, 2015;Réquia Júnior et al, 2015), injury (Factor et al, 2013), mental disease (Barton and Pretty, 2010), obesity (Brown et al, 2009), and general health (Gascon et al, 2016;Richardson and Mitchell, 2010).
