• Paste quoted text from the Methods section of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks or a bullet mark:

The UKB is a population-based cohort including 502,616 participants recruited in the United Kingdom between 2006 and 2010. Participants who were registered with the National Health Service and living within a 40-km radius of one of the 22 assessment centers in England, Wales and Scotland were invited to enter the cohort.

• Write your translation on the next line:

There were 502,616 people who share similar characteristics that participated in the survey between the year 2006 and 2010. All of these people from England, Wales and Scotland lived up to 40km away from one of the 22 assessment centers, and they also have their information with the National Health Service.

• Paste quoted text from the Introduction of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:

We identify urban living environmental profiles and relate them to psychiatric symptom groups. We aim to understand what combinations of environmental factors are most relevant for these psychiatric symptoms, and how within these combinations each single factor contributes to the risk or resilience of mental health symptoms.

• Write your translation on the next line:

A profile of those who live in the urban environment was created and they were grouped into different mental traits. This was done in order to understand the influence environmental factors plays to these mental traits and if they increase or reduce these mental health symptoms.

• Paste quoted text from the Results section in the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:

Our results indicate that the affective symptom group was positively correlated with an environment profile dominated by high levels of social deprivation and air pollution, and to a lesser extent SN, traffic and short distance to infrastructure facilities. Other factors of urbanicity, such as various forms of green space and social infrastructure, are protective.

• Write your translation on the next line:

Result shows that the emotions of the people grouped in similar traits in an environment where high levels of social deprivation, air pollution and short distance to infrastructure were the same, while other factors like green space and social infrastructure were safe.

• Paste quoted text from the Discussion section of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:

In this study, we describe how urban living affects the brain and mental health by identifying specific environmental profiles that are correlated with distinct groups of affective, anxiety and emotional instability symptoms, mediated by reductions in regional brain volume and moderated by genes involved in pertinent biological pathways.

• Write your translation on the next line:

The study explains the effects of living in urban area on the brain and psychological health through associating profiles of those who lives in similar environment, that share the same similar traits of anxiety and emotional instability. The regional brain volume reduction intervenes with the traits and are moderated by genes that are relevant to Biological Pathways.

More research is needed to see if the results from this article applies to other countries that are not wealthy and underdeveloped

I find how the genome-wide associations with environmental psychiatric study was carried out challenging to understand.
