The purpose of this study was to explore the spatial relationship between park availability and chronic health conditions (CHCs) across age groups in Kansas City, MO. Multinomial logistic regression examined the association between having a park within one-half mile from home and the likelihood of having 0, 1, or 2 or more CHCs. Among respondents aged 40-59, those without a park within one-half mile from home were more than twice as likely to have 2 or more CHCs compared to respondents that had a park nearby. Parks may be an important protective factor for chronic diseases, especially among middle-aged adults among whom access to neighborhood recreational environments may be particularly important.
本研究的目的是探讨密苏里州堪萨斯城各年龄组公园可达性与慢性健康状况(CHC)之间的空间关系。多项逻辑回归分析了家附近半英里范围内有公园与患有0种、1种或2种及以上慢性健康状况的可能性之间的关联。在40 - 59岁的受访者中,家附近半英里范围内没有公园的人患2种及以上慢性健康状况的可能性是附近有公园的受访者的两倍多。公园可能是慢性病的一个重要保护因素,尤其是在中年成年人中,获得社区休闲环境对他们可能尤为重要。
