在老年人中探索多变量邻里特征是否与体力活动（PA）和BMI相关。从巴尔的摩-华盛顿，DC（n=360）和西雅图-金郡，华盛顿（n=368）地区招募成人（66-97岁）。潜在的配置文件进行分析，使用邻里环境步行能力量表。ANCOVA模型通过检查与PA和BMI的关系来测试特征的标准有效性。邻里配置文件差异显着多达10分钟/天的中度到充满活力的PA，1.1小时/周的跑腿，几乎50分钟/周的休闲PA。环境变量导致了有意义的邻里模式，解释了老年人健康结果的巨大差异。
To explore among older adults whether multivariate neighborhood profiles were associated with physical activity (PA) and BMI. Adults (66–97 years) were recruited from Baltimore-Washington, DC (n=360), and Seattle-King County, Washington (n=368), regions. Latent profile analyses were conducted using the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale. ANCOVA models tested for criterion validity of profiles by examining relationships to PA and BMI. Neighborhood profiles differed significantly by as much as 10 minutes/day for moderate-to-vigorous PA, 1.1 hours/week for walking for errands, and almost 50 minutes/week for leisure PA. Environmental variables resulted in meaningful neighborhood patterns that explained large differences in seniors’ health outcomes.
