This paper aims to contrast the demographic correlates of leisure and transportation walking.
Using data from the 2005 National Health Interview Survey (n=31,482), this paper reports on the prevalence of transportation walking and leisure walking for U.S. adults and examines the variation in prevalence across different socio-demographic groups. The prevalence of transportation walking and leisure walking for U.S. adults (> or =5 days/week for > or =30 min/day) was calculated using data from the 2005 National Health Interview Survey.
In the United States, 41.5% of adults walked for leisure and 28.2% walked for transportation in intervals of at least 10 min. The highest prevalence of transportation walking was among black non-Hispanic men (36.0%) and Asian/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander women (40.5%). The highest prevalence of leisure walking was among Asian/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander men (42.0%) and white non-Hispanic women (46.6%). Leisure walking was most prevalent among respondents with higher incomes and education levels, whereas transportation walking increased in prevalence with education level but decreased with income level. Based on the findings, 6% of U.S. adults were considered regularly active (> or =5 days/week for > or =30 min/day) by walking for transportation and 9% were regularly active by walking for leisure.
Leisure and transportation walking have distinctly different demographic correlates. These differences should guide interventions aimed at influencing walking for different purposes.
本文旨在对比休闲步行和交通步行在人口统计学方面的相关因素。
利用2005年国家健康访谈调查（n = 31482）的数据，本文报告了美国成年人交通步行和休闲步行的患病率，并研究了不同社会人口群体中患病率的差异。使用2005年国家健康访谈调查的数据计算了美国成年人（每周≥5天，每天≥30分钟）交通步行和休闲步行的患病率。
在美国，41.5%的成年人进行休闲步行，28.2%的成年人进行至少10分钟的交通步行。交通步行患病率最高的是黑人非西班牙裔男性（36.0%）和亚裔/夏威夷原住民/太平洋岛民女性（40.5%）。休闲步行患病率最高的是亚裔/夏威夷原住民/太平洋岛民男性（42.0%）和白人非西班牙裔女性（46.6%）。休闲步行在收入和教育水平较高的受访者中最为普遍，而交通步行的患病率随教育水平的提高而增加，但随收入水平的提高而降低。根据研究结果，6%的美国成年人通过交通步行被认为是经常运动的（每周≥5天，每天≥30分钟），9%的人通过休闲步行经常运动。
休闲步行和交通步行在人口统计学方面有明显不同的相关因素。这些差异应指导旨在影响不同目的步行的干预措施。
