“…Many health relevant environmental influences that are not directly measurable can only be described by a proxy of urban structure [60,67,139,165]. As these proxies can be assessed at different spatial scales from the level of an entire city to the level of single streets, they must be captured at various levels.…”

Human health is known to be affected by the physical environment. Various environmental influences have been identified to benefit or challenge people’s physical condition. Their heterogeneous distribution in space results in unequal burdens depending on the place of living. In addition, since societal groups tend to also show patterns of segregation, this leads to unequal exposures depending on social status. In this context, environmental justice research examines how certain social groups are more affected by such exposures. Yet, analyses of this per se spatial phenomenon are oftentimes criticized for using “essentially aspatial” data or methods which neglect local spatial patterns by aggregating environmental conditions over large areas. Recent technological and methodological developments in satellite remote sensing have proven to provide highly detailed information on environmental conditions. This narrative review therefore discusses known influences of the urban environment on human health and presents spatial data and applications for analyzing these influences. Furthermore, it is discussed how geographic data are used in general and in the interdisciplinary research field of environmental justice in particular. These considerations include the modifiable areal unit problem and ecological fallacy. In this review we argue that modern earth observation data can represent an important data source for research on environmental justice and health. Especially due to their high level of spatial detail and the provided large-area coverage, they allow for spatially continuous description of environmental characteristics. As a future perspective, ongoing earth observation missions, as well as processing architectures, ensure data availability and applicability of ’big earth data’ for future environmental justice analyses.

“…Following a night of poor sleep, women appear to be at elevated risk of experiencing impairments throughout the day, e.g., (excessive) daytime tiredness, apathetic or irritable mood and reduced vigilance during daily activities, compared with men (Doi et al, 2001; Grandner, Martin, et al, 2012; Huang et al, 2010; Kronholm et al, 2015; Suh et al, 2020). Furthermore, studies have reported a higher prevalence of non‐restorative sleep and self‐perceived inadequate sleepers in women compared to men (Eaton et al, 2010; Grandner, Jackson, et al, 2015; Ohayon et al, 2000; Peltzer, 2017; Tang et al, 2017; Um & Um, 2015). Notably, adult women report the use of sleep medication more frequently compared to men (Fernandez‐Mendoza et al, 2012; Kocevska et al, 2021; Middelkoop et al, 1996).…”

“…Research shows similar patterns for schoolchildren and adolescents (Gradisar et al, 2011; Liu et al, 2005).

In most Western countries, the average self‐reported sleep duration (from ~7 h/night in Japan to 8.5 h/night in Portugal) and indicators of poor sleep quality (range 9%–30%, depending on the indicator assessed) are relatively comparable between populations (Adams et al, 2017; Doi et al, 2000; Groeger et al, 2004; Kocevska et al, 2021; Kronholm et al, 2006; Soldatos et al, 2005).…”

Summary The identification of optimal sleep duration recommendations for the general population has long been an important goal on the public health agenda, as both short and long sleep duration have been linked to unfavourable health outcomes. Yet, sleep is more than duration alone and can be described across multiple domains, such as timing, regularity, satisfaction, alertness, and efficiency. We reviewed observational population‐based studies that examined differences in age, sex, and origin across multiple dimensions of sleep. Reviewed literature suggests an increasing prevalence of insomnia symptoms, shorter and less deep sleep in old age. Overall, women report poorer sleep quality than men despite objective measures revealing shorter and more fragmented sleep in men. Minorities generally have poorer quantity and quality of sleep, but multi‐ethnic studies have reported mixed results regarding the subjective experience of sleep. In sum, effects of age, sex and origin differ across sleep dimensions, thereby suggesting that the multidimensionality of sleep and how these different aspects interact should be studied across individuals. Studies should include both self‐reported measures and objective assessments in diverse population‐based samples, as both aspects are important to understand sleep health in the general population. Data‐driven descriptions could provide researchers and clinicians with insights into how well individuals are sleeping and offer concrete targets for promotion of sleep health across the population.
