Abstract/Bio
Scott Duncan is a Professor of Population Health at the Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand. His work focuses on the measurement and promotion of physical activity and wellbeing in people of all ages. He has a particular interest in the impact of the built environment on healthy active living.
In this talk, Professor Duncan will introduce the emerging field of time-use epidemiology and its relevance to the measurement and promotion of physical activity. He will share examples of recent work from the Growing Up in NZ Study, NZ’s largest longitudinal study of child development, and Te Hotonga Hapori (Connecting Communities), a five-year natural experiment in urban renewal and community wellbeing. Potential future applications of sensor-based time-use assessment methods will be discussed.
