Assessment of environmental determinants of physical activity: a study of built environment indicators in Brno, Czech Republic
Original language description
Background: Research on physical activity in relation to obesity gradually becomes more focused on environmental determinants, which can potentially influence people?s health choices. The present article addresses the topic of physical activity from a wider sociological perspective. Our pilot study was designed with the objective to test the applicability of a method included in the EC 6th Framework Programme EURO-PREVOB in the Czech context. The method examines specific determinants of the built environment that can have an impact on physical activity at the population level. In addition, the study aims to analyze possible differences in built environment indicators and their relation to the physical activity of people living in neighbourhoods with areas of varying socioeconomic status. Methods: The field study was carried out in the city of Brno, Czech Republic, in 5 neighbourhood quintiles, i.e. areas divided according to the socioeconomic status of local residents.
