客观的。评估基于人口的老年人样本中感知的环境属性与通勤体力活动 (PA) 之间的关联。方法。横断面研究于 2009/2010 年进行，研究对象包括居住在巴西南卡罗来纳州弗洛里亚诺波利斯市的 1652 名 60 岁或以上老年人。使用长版国际体力活动问卷来测量体力活动。使用邻里环境步行能力量表的修改版本来评估感知的环境变量。使用多项逻辑回归并考虑 5% 显着性水平。结果。分别有 36.8% 和 35.2% 的受试者在与交通相关的体力活动方面不活跃或未达到每周 150 分钟。物理和社会环境特征，例如缺乏公园和运动场（ORInactive：1.75；95% CI：1.22-2.51）；存在垃圾（OR低活跃：1.55；1.04-2.30）；街道照明（OR低活跃：2.51；95% CI：1.36-4.64；OR低活跃：2.43；95% CI：1.43-4.15）；不带狗散步（ORInactive：3.08；95% CI：1.42-6.69）和不养狗（ORInactive：2.45；95% CI：1.06-5.66）与较低水平的通勤 PA 相关。结论。结果表明，较差的物理和社会环境特征与较低的通勤率有关。建设公共设施和促进团体体育活动可能会影响巴西老年人的积极通勤。 (c) 2011 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Objective. To evaluate the association between perceived environmental attributes and commuting physical activity (PA) in a population-based sample of elderly persons.Methods. Cross-sectional study was performed in 2009/2010, including 1652 elderly individuals aged 60 years or greater living in Florianopolis-SC, Brazil. Physical activity was measured using the long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Perceived environmental variables were assessed using a modified version of the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale. Multinomial logistic regression was used and a 5% significance level was taken into account.Results. 36.8% and 35.2% of the subjects were inactive or did not reach 150 min/week on transport-related physical activity, respectively. Physical and social environmental characteristics, such as the absence of parks and athletic courts (ORInactive:1.75; 95% CI:1.22-2.51); presence of garbage (ORLow-active:1.55; 1.04-2.30); street lighting (ORLow-active:2.51; 95% CI:1.36-4.64; ORLow-active:2.43; 95% CI:1.43-4.15); not walking with the dog (ORInactive: 3.08; 95% CI:1.42-6.69) and don't have a dog (ORInactive:2.45; 95% CI:1.06-5.66) were associated with lower levels of commuting PA.Conclusions. Results showed that poor physical and social environmental characteristics were related to lower commuting. Building public facilities and promoting physical activity in groups are likely to impact in active commuting among the elderly in Brazil. (c) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
