Objective: To examine variation by race and gender in the association between neighborhood socioeconomic status and walking among community-dwelling older adults. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Cardiovascular Health Study, a longitudinal population-based cohort. Participants: 4,849 adults aged >65 years. Measurements: Participants reported number of city blocks walked in the prior week. Neighborhood socioeconomic status (NSES) measured at the level of the census tract. Negative binominal regression models were constructed to test the association between NSES and blocks walked. In the fully adjusted models, we included two-way and three-way interaction terms among race, gender, and NSES. Results : In adjusted analyses, among White residents in the lowest NSES quartile (most disadvantaged), men walked 64% more than women ( P P P P=.06). Conclusions: Female gender is more strongly associated with walking for African Americans than for Whites in low SES neighborhoods but had a similar association with walking for both African Americans and Whites in high SES neighborhoods.
