Survey Data on Community Environment and Health in Western China

A 2026 cross-sectional survey of 2,705 adults in Gaoping District, Sichuan Province, China, conducted by Lansicheng Yao. It includes assessments of neighborhood walkability, self-rated health, insomnia severity, and family functioning. The data was used to test a structural equation model examining relationships between community-built environment and health.

Use Cases

• Analyzing associations between neighborhood walkability and health outcomes based on survey scales.
• Testing mediation models where sleep quality and family functioning link environment to health.
• Studying demographic and health patterns in a mixed urban-rural population in western China.
• Validating survey instruments like the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale-Abbreviated in a Chinese context.

Strengths

• Includes 2,705 adult participants, providing a substantial sample size.
• Uses validated survey instruments: the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale-Abbreviated, the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey, the Insomnia Severity Index, and the Family Assessment Device.
• Data is structured for statistical analysis using a Structural Equation Model framework.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single cross-sectional survey in one district, limiting generalizability.
