AB  - BACKGROUND: The built environment influences behaviour, like physical activity, 
      diet and sleep, which affects the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This 
      study systematically reviewed and meta-analysed evidence on the association 
      between built environmental characteristics related to lifestyle behaviour and 
      T2DM risk/prevalence, worldwide. METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed, 
      EMBASE.com and Web of Science from their inception to 6 June 2017. Studies were 
      included with adult populations (>18 years), T2DM or glycaemic markers as 
      outcomes, and physical activity and/or food environment and/or residential noise 
      as independent variables. We excluded studies of specific subsamples of the 
      population, that focused on built environmental characteristics that directly 
      affect the cardiovascular system, that performed prediction analyses and that do 
      not report original research. Data appraisal and extraction were based on 
      published reports (PROSPERO-ID: CRD42016035663). RESULTS: From 11,279 studies, 
      109 were eligible and 40 were meta-analysed. Living in an urban residence was 
      associated with higher T2DM risk/prevalence (n = 19, odds ratio (OR) = 1.40; 95% 
      CI, 1.2-1.6; I(2) = 83%) compared to living in a rural residence. Higher 
      neighbourhood walkability was associated with lower T2DM risk/prevalence (n = 8, 
      OR = 0.79; 95% CI, 0.7-0.9; I(2) = 92%) and more green space tended to be 
      associated with lower T2DM risk/prevalence (n = 6, OR = 0.90; 95% CI, 0.8-1.0; 
      I(2) = 95%). No convincing evidence was found of an association between food 
      environment with T2DM risk/prevalence. CONCLUSIONS: An important strength of the 
      study was the comprehensive overview of the literature, but our study was limited 
      by the conclusion of mainly cross-sectional studies. In addition to other 
      positive consequences of walkability and access to green space, these 
      environmental characteristics may also contribute to T2DM prevention. These 
      results may be relevant for infrastructure planning.
