Regular physical activity is associated with improvements in overall health. Although resident involvement in neighborhood social activities is positively associated with physical activity, neighborhood design features, including residential density, have varied associations with physical activity. Using data from a multiethnic sample of 696 adults in Detroit, Michigan, multilevel models were used to examine joint effects of residential density and resident involvement in neighborhood activities in relation to physical activity. We found a marginally significant negative interaction of higher residential density and resident neighborhood involvement. Higher residential density was negatively associated with physical activity, and resident neighborhood involvement was positively associated with physical activity. Our findings suggest that future work incorporate additional neighborhood and individual-level characteristics to understand the complexity of the association between the neighborhood environment, resident social engagement in the neighborhood, and physical activity.
经常进行体育活动与整体健康状况的改善相关。尽管居民参与邻里社交活动与体育活动呈正相关，但邻里设计特征，包括居住密度，与体育活动的关联各不相同。利用来自密歇根州底特律市696名成年人的多民族样本数据，采用多层次模型来检验居住密度和居民参与邻里活动对体育活动的联合影响。我们发现较高居住密度与居民邻里参与之间存在微弱显著的负向交互作用。较高居住密度与体育活动呈负相关，而居民邻里参与与体育活动呈正相关。我们的研究结果表明，未来的工作应纳入更多邻里和个体层面的特征，以了解邻里环境、居民在邻里中的社会参与和体育活动之间关联的复杂性。
