Objective.本研究探讨了日本农村妇女体力活动与环境之间的关系，以及这种关系是否因驾驶状况而异。2006年，对日本农村云南市434名40-64岁的女性进行了关于身体活动和社区环境的调查。使用地理信息系统软件测量公共交通的接近度和频率。认为良好的公共交通和娱乐设施，自行车道的存在，以及良好的美学是与身体活动积极相关的因素。公交服务便利性与驾驶状态的交互作用有统计学意义（P=0.023）。居住在公共汽车服务适度便利的地区的非驾驶员比那些没有公共汽车服务的人更有可能活跃。这些研究结果表明，驾驶状态是一个潜在的修改器的身体活动和方便的巴士服务之间的关系，方便的巴士服务是重要的，特别是在非司机促进身体活动。(C)2009 Elsevier Inc.

Objective. This study examined the relationship between physical activity and the environment among rural Japanese women, and whether that relationship varied with driving status.Methods. 434 women aged 40-64 years in Unnan City, rural Japan, were surveyed in 2006 about physical activity and their neighborhood environments. The proximity and frequency of public transport were measured using geographic information systems software.Results. Perceived good access to public transport and recreational facilities, presence of bike lanes, and good aesthetics were among factors positively associated with being physically active. The interaction between the convenience of bus service and driving status was statistically significant (P=0.023). Nondrivers residing in areas where bus service was moderately convenient were more likely to be active than those who were without it.Conclusion. These findings suggested that driving status is a potential modifier of the relationship between physical activity and the convenience of bus service and that convenient bus service is important for promoting physical activity especially in non-drivers.
