Examine the associations between selected built environment (BE) attributes and perceived active park use among older adults in Bogota.
A cross-sectional multilevel study was conducted. Participants included 1966 older adults in 50 neighborhoods. Socio-demographic covariates and BE attributes were measured. Multilevel logistic regression models were used for the analyses.
Residents from areas with higher park density and high land-use mix were more likely to report active park use while those from areas with high connectivity were less likely.
This study suggests that objective attributes of the residential BE are associated with perceived active park use. However, our study also points to the importance of surrounding environment, with the result of an inverse relationship between connectivity and physical activity, which highlights the potentially necessary interventions in the realm of traffic and pedestrian safety.
研究波哥大老年人中特定建成环境(BE)属性与主动使用公园感知之间的关联。
进行了一项横断面多层次研究。参与者包括 50 个街区的 1966 名老年人。测量了社会人口统计学协变量和 BE 属性。使用多水平逻辑回归模型进行分析。
来自公园密度较高和土地利用混合度高的地区的居民更有可能报告积极使用公园,而来自连通性较高的地区的居民则不太可能。
本研究表明,居住环境的客观属性与感知到的积极使用公园之间存在关联。然而,我们的研究还指出了周围环境的重要性,结果表明连通性与身体活动之间呈反比关系,这突出了在交通和行人安全领域可能需要进行干预。
