Fig. 2: Distinct urban environmental profiles are correlated with specific psychiatric symptom groups.
From: Effects of urban living environments on mental health in adults
a, Fifty-three urban environmental categories belonging to 13 areas (the dots on the right) and 21 psychiatric symptoms are included. UE, urban living environment. b, The sCCA model linking 53 urban environmental categories to 21 psychiatric symptoms identified three significant canonical correlates in the training datasets (red dot), including affective symptom (r = 0.20, Pperm < 0.001), anxiety symptom (r = 0.11, Pperm < 0.001) and emotional instability symptom (r = 0.05, Pperm < 0.001) groups. These results remained significant in the test datasets of affective (r = 0.22, Pperm < 0.001, PFDR < 0.001), anxiety (r = 0.10, Pperm < 0.001, PFDR < 0.001) and emotional instability (r = 0.03, Pperm < 0.001, PFDR < 0.001) (orange square) symptom groups. P values were estimated using one-sided Pperm with FDR correction for multiple comparisons (PFDR). c, A correlation map between the first urban living environmental profile and affective symptom group in the training (left) and test (right) datasets. d–f, In the first (d), second (e) and third (f) correlates, urban environmental categories contributing to this profile are shown in the first column. EV and fraction of EV of crossloadings of each urban environmental category on each of the three symptom groups are shown in the second and third columns. Symptoms of mental illness contributing to this group are shown on the right radar plots. The affective, anxiety and emotional instability symptom groups are shown in yellow, green and blue. OI, object of interest.
