Sedentary behaviour is a risk factor for diabetes, cardiovascular disease etc., independently of level of physical activity. Availability of recreational green space is associated with physical activity, but is unknown in relation to sedentary behaviour. The aim of this study is to examine the association between availability of green space and sedentary leisure time in a Danish population.
The study was based on a random sample of 49,806 adults aged 16 + who answered a questionnaire in 2010, including sedentary leisure time. Objective measures of density green were calculated for each respondent using Geographical Information System (GIS). A multilevel regression analysis, taking neighbourhood and individual factors into account, was performed.
65% of the respondents were sedentary in leisure time for more than 3h/day. We found that poor availability of forest and recreational facilities in the neighbourhood is associated with more sedentary leisure time; OR: 1.11 (95% CL: 1.04-1.19), after adjusting for individual, and neighbourhood, level characteristics.
Among adult inhabitants, sedentary leisure time of more than 3h/day was more frequent in neighbourhoods with less green surroundings. Intervention efforts may benefit from emphasising the importance of having recreations options in residential areas to provide alternatives to sedentary activities.
久坐行为是糖尿病、心血管疾病等的一个风险因素，与身体活动水平无关。休闲绿地的可用性与身体活动有关，但与久坐行为的关系尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨丹麦人群中绿地的可用性与久坐休闲时间之间的关系。
该研究基于 2010 年回答问卷的 49806 名 16 岁及以上成年人的随机样本，其中包括久坐休闲时间。使用地理信息系统（GIS）为每个受访者计算了绿地密度的客观指标。在考虑邻里和个人因素的情况下，进行了多层次回归分析。
65%的受访者在休闲时间有超过 3 小时/天的久坐行为。我们发现，邻里中森林和娱乐设施的可用性较差与更多的久坐休闲时间有关；调整个体和邻里水平特征后，比值比（OR）为 1.11（95%置信区间：1.04-1.19）。
在成年居民中，绿地环境较差的邻里中，每天有超过 3 小时久坐休闲时间的情况更为普遍。干预措施可能受益于强调在居住区域提供娱乐选择的重要性，以提供替代久坐活动的选择。
