Samenvatting

This thesis has described the current evidence of the association between the built environment and cardiovascular risk, and has originally investigated this long-term association and its underlying mechanisms. Chapter 1 introduces the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD), determinants of CVD, and gaps in current evidence. Chapter 2 summarizes the evidence on the association between built environment and CVD. Chapter 3 to 6 zoom in specific built environment characteristics and address the identified research gaps, respectively. Chapter 7 discusses several approaches to investigate the interrelationships among built environment attributes in relation to CVD.
