Body Image in Nature Survey: An International, Collaborative Project (BINS). The BINS is an international, collaborative project with the primary aim of examining cross-sectional associations between nature exposure and positive body image across different world regions. By involving researchers from multiple sites across the globe, the BINS will produce one of the largest datasets examining the impact of nature exposure across countries. In so doing, the BINS will be able to help determine the extent to which nature exposure is reliably associated with more positive body image. The BINS is led by Prof Viren Swami (Anglia Ruskin University and Perdana University), Prof Stefan Stieger (Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences), Prof Ulrich S. Tran and Prof Martin Voracek (University of Vienna). The project commenced in late 2020, with all data collection expected to be completed by December 2021. The Body Image in Nature Survey (BINS) is currently seeking international collaborators who would like to be involved in the project.
HAPIEE study (Health, Alcohol and Psychosocial Factors in Eastern Europe) is the multi-centre study HAPIEE study assessing the effects of dietary factors, alcohol consumption and psychosocial factors on health is being conducted in random samples of men and women aged 45-64 selected in Russia (city of Novosibirsk), Poland (2 districts of Krakow), Lithuania (city of Kaunas) and the Czech Republic (2 cities) – four countries of Central and Eastern Europe undergoing rapid social and economic transition. The HAPIEE study was funded by grants from
the Wellcome Trust (Grant No. 064947/Z/01/Z), the US National Institute on Aging (Grant No. IR0I AG23522-01) and the MacArthur Foundation (Health and Social Upheaval Network).
Countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CCEE) have among the highest mortality in the world, and the mortality crisis in the former Soviet Union (FSU) is unprecedented. This is almost entirely due to non-communicable diseases (NCD), particularly cardiovascular disease (CVD), most of which is coronary heart disease (CHD). The high rates of ill health, the close link between political and socio-economic factors and health, and the rapid changes in CCEE/FSU offer a unique opportunity to study the aetiology of CHD and other NCD. Classical risk factors, such as smoking and blood pressure, provide only a partial explanation for the high mortality.
