Neighbourhood Environment Correlates of Physical Activity: A Study of Eight Czech Regional Towns

Original language description

This study assessed socio-environmental factors associated with meeting the health recommendations for PA. In total, 1,653 respondents randomly selected from across eight regional towns (each }90,000 inhabitants) in the Czech Republic participated in thestudy. The ANEWS questionnaire assessed the environment in neighbourhoods, and participants' weekly PA was objectively monitored. BMI was generally not significantly associated with the criterion of achieving 10,000 steps per day during the week. For the demographic/lifestyle factors, for females more participation in organized PA was significantly positively correlated with the achieved daily step counts. For males, better residencies in the neighbourhood were significantly positively correlated withtheir daily step counts. Individuals who lived in pleasant neighbourhoods, with better access to shops and who participated in organized PA tended to meet the recommendations for health-enhancing PA levels.
