Studies assessing the association between health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) with physical activity (PA) and built environment (BE) characteristics are limited.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,334 adults from Bogotá, to assess the associations between HR-QOL with PA and BE characteristics. HR-QOL was measured using the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention instruments. PA was measured using the International PA Questionnaire. BE characteristics included the dimensions of density, diversity, design, and access to mass-transit. Analysis included multilevel modeling.
Adults who reported meeting PA recommendations and participating in the Ciclovía were more likely to have a high mean score of HR-QOL and were more likely to perceive their health status as good/excellent. Adults who reported biking for transportation were more likely to have a high mean score of HR-QOL. Regarding BE characteristics, land-use heterogeneity was associated with HR-QOL, perceived good health status and being positive about the future. Park density was associated with HR-QOL, perceived health status good/excellent and being positive about the future. Mass-transit stations availability was negatively associated with HR-QOL.
This study provides preliminary evidence that HR-QOL is associated with PA and BE characteristics among adults in an urban setting of the developing world.
评估健康相关生活质量（HR-QOL）与身体活动（PA）和建成环境（BE）特征之间关联的研究有限。
在波哥大对 1334 名成年人进行了横断面研究，以评估 HR-QOL 与 PA 和 BE 特征之间的关联。使用世界卫生组织和疾病控制与预防中心的工具来衡量 HR-QOL。使用国际身体活动问卷来衡量 PA。BE 特征包括密度、多样性、设计和获得大众运输的维度。分析包括多层次建模。
报告符合 PA 建议并参加 Ciclovía 的成年人更有可能具有较高的 HR-QOL 平均得分，并且更有可能认为自己的健康状况良好/优秀。报告骑自行车进行交通的成年人更有可能具有较高的 HR-QOL 平均得分。关于 BE 特征，土地利用异质性与 HR-QOL、良好的健康状况感知和对未来的积极态度有关。公园密度与 HR-QOL、良好/优秀的健康状况感知和对未来的积极态度有关。大众运输站的可用性与 HR-QOL 呈负相关。
这项研究提供了初步证据，表明在发展中国家城市环境中，HR-QOL 与 PA 和 BE 特征有关。
