This study investigated whether associations between the neighborhood built environment and neighborhood based physical activity (PA) varied by sociodemographic and health related characteristics. A random sample of adults (n=2006) completed telephone- and self-administered questionnaires. Questionnaires captured PA, socioclerno;,Yraphic, and health related characteristics. Neighborhood based PA (MET-minutes/week) was compared across low, medium, and high vvalkable neighborhoods for each socioclemographic (sex, age, dependents, education, income, motor vehicle access, and dog ovvnership) and health status (general health and weight status) subpopulation. With few exceptions, subpopulaLions residing in high walkable neighborhoods undertook more (p < 0.05) neighborhood based PA than their counterparts in less vvalkable neighborhoods. Improving neighborhood vvalkability is a potentially effective population health intervention for increasing neighborhood based PA. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved,
