Patterns of neighborhood environment attributes in relation to children's physical activity

摘要: Characterizing neighborhood environments in relation to physical activity is complex. Latent profiles of parents’ perceptions characteristics were examined accelerometer-measured moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) among 678 children (ages 6–12) two US regions. Neighborhood environment derived from walkability, transit access, aesthetics, crime and traffic safety, pedestrian infrastructure, recreation/park access created for each region. The San Diego County profile lowest on walkability was associated with an average 13 fewer min/day children's out-of-school MVPA compared higher access. Seattle/King did not differ MVPA. one region, but results inconsistent across
