To compare amounts of sedentary behavior and physical activity in adults residing in planned group residential settings to those residing in private homes.
Thirty-one older adults who resided in planned group residential settings (n=13) and in private homes (n=18) participated. Daily activities were measured using the Sensewear Armband for 7 days. Estimates of the duration of daily activities performed across sedentary, light, and moderate-to-vigorous intensities were captured.
Participants in planned group residential settings were older (age 85.9±3.5 vs 78.3±7.2; p=0.001) and spent more time in sedentary behaviors (12.7±1.5 vs 11.3±1.6; p=0.02) than participants in private homes. The difference was attenuated slightly after controlling for age and wear time (adjusted difference 1.2±0.6 hours, p=0.06).
Adults residing in planned group residential settings, which provide supportive services, were more sedentary than adults residing in private homes. The environment in which older adults live may contribute to sedentary behavior.
比较居住在规划好的集体居住环境中的成年人与居住在私人住宅中的成年人的久坐行为和身体活动量。
31名居住在规划好的集体居住环境（n = 13）和私人住宅（n = 18）中的老年人参与了研究。使用体动监测臂带测量7天的日常活动。记录了在久坐、轻度和中度至剧烈强度下进行的日常活动持续时间估计值。
居住在规划好的集体居住环境中的参与者年龄更大（85.9±3.5岁对78.3±7.2岁；p = 0.001），并且比居住在私人住宅中的参与者花费更多时间久坐（12.7±1.5小时对11.3±1.6小时；p = 0.02）。在控制年龄和佩戴时间后，差异略有减弱（调整后差异为1.2±0.6小时，p = 0.06）。
居住在提供支持性服务的规划好的集体居住环境中的成年人比居住在私人住宅中的成年人久坐时间更长。老年人居住的环境可能导致久坐行为。
