确定身体质量指数（BMI）是否与邻近公园的距离、公园的大小、公园的清洁程度和公园内娱乐设施的可用性有关。横截面。纽约市。2000-2002年招募了13，102名成年人（中位年龄45岁，36%为男性）。研究对象的人体测量和社会人口统计数据与公园和娱乐部关于公园空间，清洁度和设施的数据相关联。邻里水平的社会人口和公园接近度指标创建半英里半径的圆形缓冲区周围每个主题的住所。与公园空间的接近度被测量为受试者的社区缓冲区占总公园空间、大公园空间（公园> 6英亩）和小公园空间（公园<=6英亩）的比例。分层线性模型用于确定邻里公园指标是否与BMI相关。更接近大型公园空间与较低的BMI显著相关（beta = −1.69 95%CI = −2.76，−0.63）。在接近大型公园空间的人群分布中，与居住在分布第10百分位的社区的受试者相比，居住在第90百分位的社区的受试者的协变量校正平均BMI估计低0.35 kg/m2。小公园面积的社区面积比例与BMI无关，公园清洁度或娱乐设施的可用性也无关。在多样化的城市人群中，邻近大型公园空间的社区与较低的BMI适度相关。
To determine whether body mass index (BMI) is associated with proximity to neighborhood parks, the size of the parks, their cleanliness and the availability of recreational facilities in the parks. Cross-sectional. New York City. 13,102 adults (median age 45 years, 36% male) recruited from 2000–2002. Anthropometric and socio-demographic data from study subjects were linked to Department of Parks & Recreation data on park space, cleanliness, and facilities. Neighborhood level socio-demographic and park proximity metrics were created for half-mile radius circular buffers around each subject’s residence. Proximity to park space was measured as the proportion of the subject’s neighborhood buffer area that was total park space, large park space (a park > 6 acres) and small park space (a park <=6 acres). Hierarchical linear models were used to determine whether neighborhood park metrics were associated with BMI. Higher proximity to large park space was significantly associated with lower BMI (beta = −1.69 95% CI = −2.76, −0.63). Across the population distribution of proximity to large park space, compared to subjects living in neighborhoods at the 10th percentile of the distribution, the covariate adjusted average BMI was estimated to be 0.35 kg/m2 lower for those living in neighborhoods at the 90th percentile. The proportion of neighborhood area that was small park space was not associated with BMI, nor was park cleanliness or the availability of recreational facilities. Neighborhood proximity to large park spaces is modestly associated with lower BMI in a diverse urban population.
