对体育活动的邻里属性的看法可能会受到个人收入水平的影响。这项研究调查了高收入和低收入非裔美国女性对步行和骑自行车的社区属性的看法差异。 20-65 岁的非裔美国女性 (n = 388) 完成了国际体育活动流行率研究的环境调查模块。独立 t 检验确定了不同收入群体对邻里属性的看法差异。主成分因子分析探讨了调查项目因子结构的差异。低收入非裔美国女性认为她们的社区在犯罪和交通方面不太安全，免费娱乐机会较少，附近公共交通站点较多。不同收入群体之间的调查项目对每个因素的权重不同。在解释邻居对非裔美国女性体育活动的看法时，应考虑家庭收入。
Perceptions of neighborhood attributes for physical activity may be influenced by individual level income. This study examined differences in perceptions of neighborhood attributes for walking and bicycling in high and low income African American women. African American women (n = 388) aged 20–65 years completed the International Physical Activity Prevalence Study’s Environmental Survey Module. Independent t-tests determined differences in perceptions of neighborhood attributes by income group. Principal component factor analysis explored differences in factor structure for survey items. Low income African American women perceived their neighborhood as being less safe with regard to crime and traffic, having fewer free recreational opportunities, and having more public transportation stops nearby. Survey items weighed differently on each factor between income groups. Household income should be taken into consideration when interpreting perceptions of neighborhood for physical activity in African American women.
