花在户外的时间与更高水平的身体活动有关。到目前为止，独立的户外游戏的相关性还没有被调查。本研究旨在确定儿童独立户外游戏的潜在人口，行为，环境和社会相关因素。数据来自千禧年队列研究，儿童年龄为7岁。父母报告他们的孩子是否在无人监督的情况下玩耍（是/否）以及上述无人监督的户外玩耍的相关因素。儿童的体力活动水平是用腰穿加速度计测量的。多元逻辑回归被用来研究独立（无监督）户外游戏的相关性和几率之间的关联。调整后的多元线性回归被用来估计独立的户外游戏和身体活动的客观措施之间的关联。活动测量为平均每日中度至剧烈活动、步数和久坐行为。3856名（n=29%）参与者被归类为从事独立的户外游戏。年龄较大，是白色英国人，处于贫困状态，与家人朋友和家人住得很近，内部问题较少，外部行为问题较多，亲社会行为较少，与独立户外游戏的几率较高有关。独立的户外游戏与>2分钟的中等至剧烈活动相关（B=2.21 95% CI，1.09 - 3.34），每天增加330步（B=336.66 95%CI 209.80 ~ 463.51），每天少坐近5分钟（B=-4.91 95% CI-7.54，-2.29）年龄较小的儿童，社会经济地位较高的儿童，与家人朋友和家人隔离的儿童，而那些亲社会行为水平高的人，独立的户外游戏水平较低。独立的户外活动与更高水平的体力活动和更少的久坐时间有关。未来促进独立户外游戏的干预措施应该针对这些人群。
Time spent outdoors is associated with higher levels of physical activity. To date, correlates of independent outdoor play have not been investigated. This study aimed to identify potential demographic, behavioural, environmental and social correlates of children's independent outdoor play. Data were from the Millennium Cohort Study when children were aged 7years. Parents reported whether their children played out unsupervised (yes/no) as well as the above mentioned correlates of unsupervised outdoor play. Children's physical activity levels were measured using waist worn accelerometry. Multiple logistic regression was used to examine associations between correlates and odds of independent (unsupervised) outdoor play. Adjusted multiple linear regression was used to estimate associations between independent outdoor play and objective measures of physical activity. Activity was measured as average daily moderate-to-vigorous activity, steps, and sedentary behaviour. 3856 (n=29%) participants were categorised as engaging in independent outdoor play. Older age, being white British, being in poverty, living in close proximity to both family friends and family, having fewer internalising problems, having more externalising conduct problems and fewer pro-social behaviours were associated with higher odds of independent outdoor play. Independent outdoor play was associated with >2 additional minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity (B=2.21 95% CI, 1.09 to 3.34), >330 additional steps per day (B=336.66 95% CI 209.80 to 463.51), and nearly 5min less time spent sedentary per day (B=-4.91 95% CI -7.54, -2.29) Younger children, those from a higher socio-economic-status, those isolated in location from family friends and family, and those with high levels of prosocial behaviour have lower levels of independent outdoor play. Independent outdoor play was associated with higher levels of physical activity and less time sedentary. Future interventions to promote independent outdoor play should target such populations.
