We tested this hypothesis experimentally by presenting three foraging tasks to introduced common mynas (Acridotheres tristis) from environments with low and high urbanization levels from Australia.
Several studies have shown that high urbanization levels are associated with decreased mental and physical health, for instance higher rates of cardiovascular disease, schizophrenia, and depression (e.g., Pedersen and Mortensen 2001; Peen and Dekker 2003; Sundquist and Frank 2004; Sundquist et al. 2004a, b; Willemsen et al. 2005).
Based on the analysis of these changing indexes, this paper finds that urbanization in Jiangsu is hybrid process: the forces from capital and power greatly contribute to rapid urbanization and high urbanization level, however, the gaps among the three sub-regions in the province and rural-urban income inequality have not decreased accordingly.
Shanghai has a high urbanization level and is under industrial restructuring, in which backward production facilities are closed down and the development of tertiary industry is accelerated.
In younger males, higher urbanization levels were associated with slightly higher FSIQ scores.
Breast cancer patients were more likely than control subjects to have white-collar occupations (55.4% vs. 51.3%, p = 0.001), live in areas with the highest urbanization level (34.4% vs. 31.7%, p = 0.03), and have higher incomes (15.7% vs. 12.6%, p = 0.0004).
And you have to remember that even though China's urbanization levels are really high, there is still a very large percentage of its population that is living in the countryside and living in much, much smaller towns.
All cities and towns were divided into three urbanization levels: low, medium, and high.
This study starts with analysing the variation in incidence and prevalence figures between GPRNs and general practices adjusted for patient characteristics: age (in years), gender (male versus female), socio-economic status (high-medium-low), urbanization level ('rural'urban'and and 'large cities') and ethnic origin [ 6].
Asthma prevalence has been increasing to epidemic levels, especially in areas with high urbanization.
People in 2013 had higher mean age, higher education levels and there were more people living in high urbanization area than those in 2001.
