To examine associations between the built environment and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) among African Americans and Whites.
Independent and control variables were produced from the literature and theory to represent key components of built environment, sense of community, sociodemographic, and health status characteristics. Logistic regression analysis and descriptive statistics were used to measures correlative relationships with physical activity.
Built environment elements, especially homeownership, were associated with LTPA, particularly among older African American rural residents.
Recommendations include transferring the concept of community ownership to residents living in areas where rates of physical activity are low.
研究非裔美国人和白人的居住环境与休闲时间体力活动（LTPA）之间的关联。
从文献和理论中提取独立和控制变量，以代表居住环境、社区意识、社会人口统计学和健康状况特征的关键组成部分。使用逻辑回归分析和描述性统计来衡量与体力活动的相关关系。
居住环境要素，特别是住房所有权，与 LTPA 相关，尤其是在较年长的非裔美国农村居民中。
建议包括将社区所有权的概念转让给居住在体力活动率较低地区的居民。
