Neighborhood-Based Differences in Physical Activity: An Environment Scale Evaluation

摘要: Objectives This study evaluated a neighborhood environment survey and compared the physical activity weight status of residents in 2 neighborhoods. Methods On occasions, 107 adults from neighborhoods with differing "walkability" were selected to complete on their environment. Physical was assessed by self-report accelerometer; height self-report. Results Neighborhood characteristics had moderate high test-retest reliabilities. Residents high-walkability reported higher residential density, land use mix, street connectivity, aesthetics, safety. They more than 70 minutes lower obesity prevalence (adjusted for individual demographics) did low-walkability Conclusions The reliability validity self-reported subscales supported. associated overweight prevalence.
