Past studies have suggested that a link between health outcomes and green space is due to increased levels of physical activity of individuals living in areas with more green space. We found a positive association between green space and physical activity levels. The odds of achieving the recommended amount of physical activity was 1.27 (95% CI: 1.13-1.44) for people living in the greenest quintile in England compared to those living in the least green quintile, after controlling for individual and environmental factors. However, no association was found between green space and types of physical activity normally associated with green space. An association was found with other types of physical activity (gardening and do-it-yourself, and occupational physical activity). These findings suggest that although there is a positive association between physical activity and green space it may not be explained by individuals using green space for recreation.
过去的研究表明,健康结果和绿色空间之间的联系是由于居住在绿色空间较多的地区的个人的身体活动水平增加。我们发现绿色空间与身体活动水平之间存在正相关关系。与居住在最不绿色五分位数的人相比,居住在英国最绿色五分位数的人达到推荐身体活动量的几率为 1.27(95%CI:1.13-1.44),在控制了个人和环境因素后。然而,在绿色空间与通常与绿色空间相关的身体活动类型之间没有发现关联。与其他类型的身体活动(园艺和自己动手,以及职业身体活动)有关联。这些发现表明,尽管身体活动和绿色空间之间存在正相关关系,但这可能不是个人将绿色空间用于娱乐的原因。
