  • Association of childhood residential environment and family socioeconomic status with physical activity in early adulthood - a population-based Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 study

    Open Access•Ulla-Maija Luoma, Soile Puhakka et al.•ARTICLE•Health & Place•2026

    BACKGROUND: Higher socioeconomic status is associated with more physical activity in both childhood and adulthood. There is conflicting evidence about the importance of the urban and rural residential environment on children's physical activity. The family socioeconomic status and urban-rural residential area may have combined associations with children's physical activity, but the evidence so far is scarce, and has mainly come from cross-section…

  • Associations Between Biodiversity, Forest Characteristics, Distance to Blue Space and Accelerometer-Measured Physical Activity—Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 Study

    Open Access•Katja Kangas, Riitta Pyky et al.•ARTICLE•Leisure Sciences•2024•References: 62

    We studied how the quantity and quality of residential green spaces and distance to different types of blue spaces are associated with the accelerometer-measured physical activity (PA) among adults with different levels of total daily PA. The associations of the participants’ socio-demographic and personal characteristics and environmental features with light PA (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) were analyzed using linear mixed models (n =…

  • Residential history and changes in perceived health—The Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 study

    Open Access•Tiina Lankila, Soile Puhakka et al.•ARTICLE•Health & Place•2022•References: 17

    Neighbourhood socioeconomic status and physical access to amenities and greenness are factors that have been associated with mental, physical and perceived health. However, associations between long-time exposure to these circumstances and changes in perceived health in the middle-age population have remained a relatively underexamined area. This study aimed to examine the association between residential environmental history and changes in perce…

  • Satellite Imaging-Based Residential Greenness and Accelerometry Measured Physical Activity at Midlife—Population-Based Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 Study

    Open Access•Soile Puhakka, Tiina Lankila et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2020

    Residential greenness was positively associated with LPA in both genders, but the association remained significant after adjustments only in men. Residential greenness may provide a supportive environment for promoting LPA

  • Physical Activity, Residential Environment, and Nature Relatedness in Young Men—A Population-Based Mopo Study

    Open Access•Soile Puhakka, Riitta Pyky et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2018

    Background : In general, nature relatedness is positively associated with physical activity, health, and subjective well-being. However, increased residence in urban areas, and the decrease in natural spaces, may affect the younger generation most adversely. The associated environmental changes can increase youths' risk of spending most of their time indoors, and weaken their nature relatedness, making them less likely to enjoy nature's health be…
