This study investigated whether associations between the neighborhood built environment and neighborhood-based physical activity (PA) varied by sociodemographic and health-related characteristics. A random sample of adults (n=2006) completed telephone- and self-administered questionnaires. Questionnaires captured PA, sociodemographic, and health-related characteristics. Neighborhood-based PA (MET-minutes/week) was compared across low, medium, and high walkable neighborhoods for each sociodemographic (sex, age, dependents, education, income, motor vehicle access, and dog ownership) and health-status (general health and weight status) subpopulation. With few exceptions, subpopulations residing in high walkable neighborhoods undertook more (p<0.05) neighborhood-based PA than their counterparts in less walkable neighborhoods. Improving neighborhood walkability is a potentially effective population health intervention for increasing neighborhood-based PA.
本研究调查了社区建成环境与基于社区的身体活动（PA）之间的关联是否因社会人口统计学和健康相关特征而异。对成年人（n = 2006）进行随机抽样，他们完成了电话调查和自行填写的问卷。问卷收集了身体活动、社会人口统计学和健康相关特征。针对每个社会人口统计学（性别、年龄、受抚养人、教育程度、收入、机动车使用情况和是否养狗）和健康状况（总体健康和体重状况）亚组，比较了低、中、高步行便利性社区中基于社区的身体活动（代谢当量-分钟/周）。除少数例外情况外，居住在高步行便利性社区的亚组比居住在步行便利性较差社区的亚组进行了更多（p<0.05）基于社区的身体活动。改善社区步行便利性是增加基于社区的身体活动的一种潜在有效的人群健康干预措施。
