Objectively measured access to recreational destinations and leisure-time physical activity
Objectively-assessed neighbourhood destination accessibility and physical activity in adults from 10 countries
Access to parks and physical activity
Measuring children's independent mobility
International audience
Physical activity in relation to urban environments in 14 cities worldwide
International comparisons of the associations between objective measures of the built environment and transport-related walking and cycling
Perceived Neighborhood Environmental Attributes Associated with Walking and Cycling for Transport among Adult Residents of 17 Cities in 12 Countries
Many perceived environmental attributes supported both cycling and walking; however, highly walkable environments may not support cycling for transport. People appear to walk for transport despite safety concerns. These findings can guide the implementation of global health strategies.
Neighbourhood built environment associations with body size in adults
Built environment features were associated with body size in the expected directions. Objectively-assessed physical activity mediated observed built environment-body size relationships
Associations between lifestyle behaviours and optimal wellbeing in a diverse sample of New Zealand adults
Public health and positive psychology were integrated to provide support for a relationship between lifestyle behaviours and a multi-dimensional measure of optimal wellbeing. It is likely this relationship between lifestyle behaviours and optimal wellbeing is bidirectional giving rise to the debate that holistic approaches are needed to promote positive health
Moderating effects of age, gender and education on the associations of perceived neighborhood environment attributes with accelerometer-based physical activity
Could strength of exposure to the residential neighbourhood modify associations between walkability and physical activity
Measuring flourishing
The epidemiology of flourishing is an important research topic prompting international interest in its psychometric assessment. But the need to measure human feelings and functioning at the population level has resulted in the creation of a multitude of different conceptual frameworks of flourishing: a term now commonly used to describe high levels of subjective wellbeing. Not only do different researchers theorise and conceptualise flourishing i…

Convergent Validity and Test–Retest Reliability of the Authentic Happiness Inventory in Working Adults
Psychometric Properties of the Flourishing Scale in a New Zealand Sample
Neighborhood Built Environment and Transport and Leisure Physical Activity
BACKGROUND: Evidence of associations between neighborhood built environments and transport-related physical activity (PA) is accumulating, but few studies have investigated associations with leisure-time PA. OBJECTIVE: We investigated associations of five objectively measured characteristics of the neighborhood built environment-destination access, street connectivity, dwelling density, land-use mix and streetscape quality-with residents' self-re…
A stocktake of physical activity programs in the Pacific Islands
Population non-communicable disease (NCD) risk is among the highest in the world in the Pacific region. Increasing physical activity (PA) levels may be effective in reducing NCD risk in the developing and culturally diverse Pacific region. To describe the current practice in promoting PA in the Pacific, program information was sourced from NCD representatives from 19 countries during the Pacific NCD Forum (2009). Additional online searches were u…
Women-only mass participation sporting events
There is little evidence supporting the claim that mass participation sporting events (MPSE) increase the population's physical activity (PA). This research aimed to identify the demographic, motivational and PA profile of participants in a women-only non-elite triathlon race series. It also aimed to identify whether PA in previously insufficiently active participants increased before the event, and remained elevated three months after the event.…
How many steps/day are enough? for adults
Physical activity guidelines from around the world are typically expressed in terms of frequency, duration, and intensity parameters. Objective monitoring using pedometers and accelerometers offers a new opportunity to measure and communicate physical activity in terms of steps/day. Various step-based versions or translations of physical activity guidelines are emerging, reflecting public interest in such guidance. However, there appears to be a …
Associations between weight perceptions, weight control and body fatness in a multiethnic sample of adolescent girls
Objective The purpose of the present study was to examine the interactions between weight perceptions, weight control behaviours and body fatness in a multiethnic sample of adolescent girls. Design A cross-sectional study. Setting Girls from European (37·7 %), Pacific Island (21·6 %), East Asian (15·8 %), Maori (10·2 %) and South Asian (9·6 %) populations and from other ethnicities (5·0 %). Subjects A sample of 954 girls aged 11–15 years particip…
"Healthy Eating - Healthy Action"
This paper outlines our approach to evaluating a complex national health promotion strategy. Not only does the Evaluation have the potential to identify interventions that could be adopted internationally, but also the development of the Evaluation design can inform other complex evaluations
The Healthy Steps Study
Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN012606000023550
Understanding the Relationship between Activity and Neighbourhoods (Urban) Study
The URBAN Study is applying a novel scientifically robust research design to provide urgently needed epidemiological information regarding the associations between the built environment and health outcomes. The findings will contribute to a larger, international initiative in which similar neighborhood selection and PA measurement procedures are utilized across eight countries. Accordingly, this study directly addresses the international priority…
Understanding the relationships between private automobile availability, overall physical activity, and travel behavior in adults
Geographic location, physical activity and perceptions of the environment in Queensland adults
