This study compared the strength of association of objective and subjective measures of environment with walking sufficiently for health. It used an existing model, which employed only objective environmental measures and adjusted for socio-demographic covariates, to estimate the influence of the built environment on walking. The original model was re-run with new, subjectively measured variables. The results showed that objective measures of the built environment had stronger associations with walking than subjective measures. Future studies of the environmental influences on physical activity should include objective measures of the built environment.
本研究比较了客观和主观环境测量指标与足够健康的步行之间的关联强度。它使用了一个仅使用客观环境测量指标并调整了社会人口学协变量的现有模型来估计建筑环境对步行的影响。原始模型使用新的主观测量变量重新运行。结果表明，与主观测量相比，客观的建筑环境测量指标与步行的相关性更强。未来对环境对身体活动影响的研究应包括对建筑环境的客观测量。
