Built Environment, Physical Activity, and Obesity
Creating more physical activity–supportive built environments is recommended by the World Health Organization for controlling noncommunicable diseases. The IPEN (International Physical Activity and Environment Network) Adult Study was undertaken to provide international evidence on associations of built environments with physical activity and weight status in 12 countries on 5 continents ( n > 14,000). This article presents reanalyzed data from e…

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.
Walking mediates associations between neighborhood activity supportiveness and BMI in the Women's Health Initiative San Diego cohort
Relationship between Objectively Measured Transportation Behaviors and Health Characteristics in Older Adults
This study used objective Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to investigate the relationship between pedestrian and vehicle trips to physical, cognitive, and psychological functioning in older adults living in retirement communities. Older adults (N = 279; mean age = 83 ± 6 years) wore a GPS and accelerometer for 6 days. Participants completed standard health measures. The Personal Activity and Location Measurement System (PALMS) was used to calcul…
Caregiving, Transport-Related, and Demographic Correlates of Sedentary Behavior in Older Adults
This study identified that older adult dog owners and drivers were less sedentary. Both factors may create opportunities for older adults to get out of their homes
Association between neighborhood walkability and GPS-measured walking, bicycling and vehicle time in adolescents
Effects of buffer size and shape on associations between the built environment and energy balance
When cities move children
This study presents a novel method to assess context-specific physical activity patterns using accelerometer and GPS. The method efficiency is investigated by providing descriptive results on the use of domains and subdomains, and assessing how much of children's and adolescents' daily activity time can be classified by these domains and subdomains. Four domains and 11 subdomains were defined as important contexts for child and adolescent behavio…
Development, scoring, and reliability of the Microscale Audit of Pedestrian Streetscapes (Maps)
MAPS items and subscales predominantly demonstrated moderate to excellent reliability. The subscales and scoring system represent a theoretically based framework for using these complex microscale data and may be applicable to other similar instruments
Sharing good News across the world
We have proposed country-specific modifications to the original scoring protocol of the NEWS/NEWS-A that enhance inter-country comparability. These modifications have yielded sufficiently equivalent measurement models of the NEWS/NEWS-A. Some inter-country discrepancies remain. These need to be considered when interpreting findings from different countries
The Role of the Built Environment in Healthy Aging
Older adults are a large but very inactive population group. Physical activity, especially walking, has many important health benefits for older adults. This review describes the relationship between walking and health and reviews studies investigating the relationship between the built environment, walking, and health in older adults. Important features of community design for older adults are identified and suggestion for impacting walking beha…
Interactions between psychosocial and built environment factors in explaining older adults' physical activity
The Relationship between Outdoor Activity and Health in Older Adults Using GPS
Physical activity (PA) provides health benefits in older adults. Research suggests that exposure to nature and time spent outdoors may also have effects on health. Older adults are the least active segment of our population, and are likely to spend less time outdoors than other age groups. The relationship between time spent in PA, outdoor time, and various health outcomes was assessed for 117 older adults living in retirement communities. Partic…

Do neighborhood environments moderate the effect of physical activity lifestyle interventions in adults
Feasibility and outcomes of a multilevel place-based walking intervention for seniors
Posters can prompt less active people to use the stairs
Climbing stairs is an incidental physical activity that people can incorporate within daily life. ]
Neighborhood built environment associations with adolescents' location-specific sedentary and screen time
Latent Growth Curve Modeling of Adolescent Physical Activity
Data from a randomized clinical trial were used to examine the extent to which a health promotion intervention affected changes in psychosocial constructs and if so whether these in turn explained changes in physical activity (PA). PA and psychosocial data on 878 adolescents (ages 11-15) recruited through primary care providers (age M = 12.7 years, SD = 1.3; 58% white non-Hispanic) were measured at baseline, six and 12 months. Parallel process la…
Encouraging Stair Use
Increasing physical activity levels among a largely sedentary public is a health priority.1 Lifestyle exercise, such as walking or stair climbing, has been recommended because it provides substantial health benefits and fits easily into daily routines.2 Opportunities for stair climbing in workplaces, public buildings, and the home are frequently available to most population groups. Studies conducted in both the United States and the United Kingdo…
Getting More People on the Stairs
Previous research has found that poster prompts are associated with significant increases in stair use. The present study examined the use of messages on the stair risers, as an alternative to posters, to encourage stair climbing. Observers monitored shoppers' stair and escalator use over a 2-week baseline and 6-week intervention period. The prevalence of stair use increased from a baseline value of 8.1 percent to 18.3 percent when the motivating…

Active Commuting to School
PURPOSE: This study examined the association of objective and perceived neighborhood environmental characteristics and parent concerns with active commuting to school, investigated whether parental concerns varied by environmental characteristics, and compared the association of the perceived environment, parental concerns, and objective environment on the outcome active commuting to school. METHODS: Randomly selected parents of children (aged 5-…
An Ecological Approach to Creating Active Living Communities
The thesis of this article is that multilevel interventions based on ecological models and targeting individuals, social environments, physical environments, and policies must be implemented to achieve population change in physical activity. A model is proposed that identifies potential environmental and policy influences on four domains of active living: recreation, transport, occupation, and household. Multilevel research and interventions requ…
