This secondary data analysis examined associations among perceived neighborhood environmental factors, physical activity (PA), and the presence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in Mexican-American (MA) adults. Seventy-five MA adults (mean age of 37.9 ± 9.3 years) provided anthropometric, biomarker, and survey data. The Neighborhood Scales Questionnaire evaluated six perceived neighborhood factors: walking environment, aesthetic quality, safety, violence, social cohesion, and activities with neighbors. The Rapid Assessment of PA questionnaire assessed PA. MS was determined according to ATP III criteria.
PA was significantly associated with MS (OR = .338, CI .204-.738). Neighborhood factors of safety (B = .255, p = .024), walking environment (B = .384, p = .001), and social cohesion (B = .230, p = .043) were positively associated with PA. No other neighborhood factors were significantly related to PA. Analyses examining whether neighborhood factors moderated the relationship between PA and MS were not significant.
本二次数据分析考察了墨西哥裔美国成年人感知的邻里环境因素、身体活动（PA）与代谢综合征（MS）之间的关联。75 名墨西哥裔美国成年人（平均年龄 37.9±9.3 岁）提供了人体测量、生物标志物和调查数据。邻里尺度问卷评估了六个感知邻里因素：步行环境、美学质量、安全、暴力、社会凝聚力和与邻居的活动。快速评估 PA 问卷评估了 PA。MS 根据 ATP III 标准确定。
PA 与 MS 显著相关（OR=0.338，CI 0.204-0.738）。安全（B=0.255，p=0.024）、步行环境（B=0.384，p=0.001）和社会凝聚力（B=0.230，p=0.043）等邻里因素与 PA 呈正相关。其他邻里因素与 PA 无显著相关性。分析邻里因素是否调节 PA 和 MS 之间关系的结果并不显著。
