We explored the impact of neighborhood walkability on young adults, early-middle adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults' walking across different neighborhood buffers. Participants completed the Western Australian Health and Wellbeing Surveillance System Survey (2003-2009) and were allocated a neighborhood walkability score at 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1600m around their home. We found little difference in strength of associations across neighborhood size buffers for all life stages. We conclude that neighborhood walkability supports more walking regardless of adult life stage and is relevant for small (e.g., 200m) and larger (e.g., 1600m) neighborhood buffers.
我们探讨了邻里适宜步行性对年轻人、中青年、中年人和老年人在不同邻里缓冲区步行的影响。参与者完成了西澳大利亚健康与幸福监测系统调查(2003 - 2009年),并被赋予其家周围200米、400米、800米和1600米处的邻里适宜步行性得分。我们发现,在所有生命阶段中,邻里规模缓冲区之间关联强度的差异不大。我们得出结论,无论处于成人生命的哪个阶段,邻里适宜步行性都有助于更多的步行,并且对小范围(例如200米)和大范围(例如1600米)的邻里缓冲区都有影响。
