Description
The UK Biobank Urban Morphometric Platform (UKBUMP) is a large sample size high resolution spatial database of urban morphological metrics (morphometrics) developed for half-a-million participants of the UK Biobank Prospective study spatially distributed across 21 UK cities. Large-scale objective assessment of the built environment within multiple residential neighbourhood of geocoded UK Biobank participants' dwelling was conducted employing state-of-the-art spatial and network analyses upon multiple national-level spatial data-sets. These include metrics of land use density; health specific destination accessibility; street network physical accessibility; greenness; terrain variability (slope); deprivation; and accessibility to food outlets.
