Residents of disadvantaged neighbourhoods have poorer physical function than their advantaged counterparts, although the reasons for this remain largely unknown. We examined the moderating effects of walkability in the relationship between neighbourhood disadvantage and physical function using 2013 cross-sectional data from 5115 individuals aged 46-72 living in 200 neighbourhoods in Brisbane, Australia. The relationship between neighbourhood disadvantage and physical function differed by levels of walkability: positive associations as levels of walkability increased for those living in more disadvantaged neighbourhoods, and no difference for those living in more advantaged neighbourhoods. Further work is required to better understand the underlying mechanisms.
居住在贫困社区的居民的身体机能比那些处于优势社区的居民差，尽管造成这种情况的原因在很大程度上还不清楚。我们使用了 2013 年澳大利亚布里斯班 200 个社区中 5115 名年龄在 46-72 岁的个体的横断面数据，检验了可步行性在社区劣势与身体机能之间的关系中的调节作用。随着可步行性水平的提高，社区劣势与身体机能之间的关系也发生了变化：对于居住在较贫困社区的人来说，这种关系是积极的，而对于居住在较富裕社区的人来说，这种关系则没有差异。需要进一步的工作来更好地理解潜在的机制。
