这篇综述考察了养狗和成人体力活动水平之间的联系。虽然有证据表明，养狗对健康有相当大的好处，并提供了一种鼓励狗主人散步的重要形式的社会支持，但关于影响狗主人带着狗散步的物理、环境和政策相关因素的证据有限。由于许多工业化国家养狗的水平很高，进一步探讨养狗与体力活动水平之间的关系对于防止体力活动水平下降及其对健康的不利影响可能很重要。(C)2006爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This review examines the association between dog ownership and adult physical activity levels. While there is evidence to suggest that dog ownership produces considerable health benefit and provides an important form of social support that encourages dog owners to walk, there is limited evidence on the physical environmental and policy-related factors that affect dog owners walking with their dog. With the high level of dog ownership in many industrialized countries, further exploration of the relationship between dog ownership and physical activity levels may be important for preventing declining levels of physical activity and the associated detrimental health effects.
