客观的。确定邻里和家庭电视环境与幼儿身体活动的关联。方法。 32 名 4 至 7 岁的男孩和 27 名女孩在 3 个工作日和 1 个周末佩戴加速度计。使用电视津贴 (TM) 单位对家中电视的数量和孩子看电视的情况进行为期 3 周的监测。使用地理信息系统来测量邻里环境变量。结果。使用分层回归分析来预测身体活动，最初在步骤 1 中控制了性别、年龄、社会经济地位、肥胖和儿童电视观看情况。在步骤 2 中，电视数量并没有显着增加身体活动预测中所考虑的变异量。在第 3 步中，住房密度和按性别划分的住房密度的相互作用占变异性增量的 12% (p < 0.05)，在第 4 步中，公园加休闲区的百分比又占变异性的 10% (p < 0.05)。住房密度越大，男孩的体力活动就会增加，但女孩则不然。结论。家庭之间的距离越近、公园面积越大的社区，幼儿的体育活动就越多。 (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Objective. To determine associations of the neighborhood and home television environments with young children's physical activity.Method. 32 boys and 27 girls age 4 to 7 years wore accelerometers for 3 weekdays and 1 weekend day. The number of televisions in the home and television watching of the child were monitored using TV Allowance (TM) units for 3 weeks. A geographic infonnation system was used to measure neighborhood environment variables.Results. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to predict physical activity, initially controlling for sex, age, socioeconomic status, adiposity, and child television watching in step 1. In step 2, the number of televisions did not significantly increase the amount of variability accounted for in the prediction of physical activity. In step 3, housing density and the interaction of housing density by sex accounted for an incremental 12% (p < 0.05) of the variability and in step 4 percentage park plus recreation area accounted for a further 10% (p < 0.05) of the variability. Greater housing density predicted increased physical activity of boys, but not girls.Conclusion. Neighborhoods with increased proximity between homes and a greater proportion of park area are associated with greater physical activity in young children. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
