Physical activity in relation to urban environments in 14 cities worldwide: A cross-sectional study
Original language description
Purpose: To document how objectively-measured urban environment attributes are related to objectively-measured physical activity, in an international sample of adults. Methods: The International Physical activity and Environment Network (IPEN) Adult Study was a coordinated international study. The study design was to sample participants from neighbourhoods selected to be high or low on walkability and high or low on socioeconomic status. Present analyses were conducted with 6,822 adults aged 18–66 years from 14 cities in ten countries on five continents. Indicators of walkability, transit access, and park access were assessed in 1-km and 0·5-km street network buffers around each participant's residential address using Geographic Information Systems. Mean daily minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity were measured by four to seven days of accelerometer monitoring. Associations of environmental attributes with physical activity were estimated using generalized additive mixed models with Gamma variance and logarithmic link functions. Results: Four of six environmental attributes were significantly, positively, and linearly related to physical activity in single-variable models: net residential density, intersection density, public transit density, and number of parks. Mixed land use and distance to nearest public transit point were unrelated. The average difference in physical activity between residents living in low and high activity-friendly neighbourhoods ranged from 48 to 89 weekly minutes, which represent 33% to 60% of the 150 minutes per week health guideline. Conclusion: Design of urban environments has the potential to contribute substantially to physical activity. Similarity of findings across cities suggests the promise of engaging urban planning, transportation, and parks sectors in efforts to reduce the health burden of the global physical inactivity pandemic.
