To study associations between perceived neighborhood resources and time spent by older adults in active travel.
Respondents in six European countries, aged 65-85 years, reported on the perceived presence of neighborhood resources (parks, places to sit, public transportation, and facilities) with response options "a lot," "some," and "not at all." Daily active travel time (total minutes of transport-related walking and cycling) was self-reported at the baseline (n = 2,695) and 12-18 months later (n = 2,189).
Reporting a lot of any of the separate resources (range B's = 0.19-0.29) and some or a lot for all four resources (B = 0.22, 95% confidence interval [0.09, 0.35]) was associated with longer active travel time than reporting none or fewer resources. Associations remained over the follow-up, but the changes in travel time were similar, regardless of the neighborhood resources.
Perceiving multiple neighborhood resources may support older adults' active travel. Potential interventions, for example, the provision of new resources or increasing awareness of existing resources, require further study.
研究老年人对邻里资源的感知与他们在主动出行中所花费时间之间的关联。
来自六个欧洲国家、年龄在65 - 85岁的受访者报告了他们对邻里资源（公园、座椅、公共交通和设施）的感知情况，回答选项为“很多”“一些”和“完全没有”。每日主动出行时间（与交通相关的步行和骑行总分钟数）在基线时（n = 2695）以及12 - 18个月后（n = 2189）由受访者自行报告。
报告任何一种单独资源为“很多”（B值范围 = 0.19 - 0.29）以及报告所有四种资源为“一些”或“很多”（B = 0.22，95%置信区间[0.09, 0.35]）与报告没有资源或资源较少相比，与更长的主动出行时间相关。在随访期间这种关联依然存在，但无论邻里资源如何，出行时间的变化相似。
感知到多种邻里资源可能有助于老年人的主动出行。例如提供新资源或提高对现有资源的认知等潜在干预措施，还需要进一步研究。
