This study investigates perceived barriers to walking using data collected from 179 randomly-selected adults between the ages of 18 and 92 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. A survey (Hamilton Active Living Study) asked questions about socio-demographics, walking, and barriers to walking. A series of binary logit models are estimated for twenty potential barriers to walking. The results demonstrate that different barriers are associated with different sub-groups of the population. Females, senior citizens, and those with a higher body mass index identify the most barriers to walking, while young adults, parents, driver's license owners, and bus pass owners identify the fewest barriers. Understanding who is affected by perceived barriers can help policy makers and health promotion agencies target sub-groups of the population in an effort to increase walking.
本研究利用从加拿大安大略省汉密尔顿市179名年龄在18至92岁之间随机选取的成年人收集的数据，调查了人们感知到的步行障碍。一项调查（汉密尔顿积极生活方式研究）询问了有关社会人口统计学、步行情况以及步行障碍的问题。针对20种潜在的步行障碍估计了一系列二元逻辑回归模型。结果表明，不同的障碍与不同的人群亚组相关。女性、老年人以及体重指数较高的人认为步行障碍最多，而年轻人、父母、拥有驾照的人和拥有公交卡的人认为障碍最少。了解哪些人受到感知障碍的影响有助于政策制定者和健康促进机构针对特定人群亚组开展工作，以增加步行量。
