虽然一个人的邻居和他们的健康之间的关联已经在国际上进行了研究，但大多数研究仅限于少数城市或城镇。因此，我们使用了一个具有全国代表性的样本，以探讨是否感知和客观的邻里步行与居民的身体活动。数据来自2010年日本综合社会调查（n = 2395; 1114名男性和1281名女性）。感知步行性得分使用因素分析的受访者的看法，邻里条件，而客观的步行性测量使用地理信息系统的方法。最后，进行多层次逻辑回归分析，以检查是否邻里步行与受访者之间的休闲时间体力活动（LTPA）的频率。我们发现，感知步行能力与LTPA的频率呈正相关（最高四分位数与最低四分位数的比值比为1.53（1.14-2.05））;然而，客观步行能力显示无相关性。当按性别分层时，在女性中观察到感知的步行能力和LTPA之间的关联，但在男性中，客观的步行能力和LTPA之间仅存在轻微的显著关联。我们的结论是，邻里步行和LTPA之间的关联可以部分概括整个日本。
Although associations between a person’s neighborhood and their health have been studied internationally, most studies have been limited to a few cities or towns. Therefore, we used a nationally representative sample to explore whether perceived and objective neighborhood walkability was associated with the physical activity of residents. Data were analyzed from the Japanese General Social Surveys of 2010 (n = 2395; 1114 men and 1281 women). Perceived walkability was scored using factor analysis for the respondents’ perceptions of neighborhood conditions, while objective walkability was measured using the geographic information system approach. Finally, multilevel logistic regression analysis was performed to examine whether neighborhood walkability was associated with the frequency of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) among respondents. We found that perceived walkability was positively associated with the frequency of LTPA (odds ratio of the highest quartile was 1.53 (1.14–2.05) compared with the lowest quartile); however, objective walkability showed no association. When stratified by gender, an association between perceived walkability and LTPA was observed among women, but only a marginally significant association was present between objective walkability and LTPA among men. We conclude that the association between neighborhood walkability and LTPA can be partially generalized across Japan.
