作者研究了八个欧洲城市的成年居民感知的邻里安全与锻炼可能性之间的关联。数据是通过世界卫生组织在 2002 年和 2003 年进行的邻里、住房和健康调查收集的。基线类别逻辑回归模型适合估计感知安全与运动之间的关联，并考虑到人口和居住地特征。在女性中，安全感与偶尔运动和频繁运动的几率分别提高 22%（95% 置信区间：1.00、1.54）和 40%（95% 置信区间：1.03、1.91）相关。在男性中，安全感与偶尔锻炼的几率增加 39% 相关，但与频繁锻炼无关。如果这些发现得到重复，他们将表明健康促进工作可以针对居民区，而无需识别特定人员。
The authors examined the association between perceived safety of neighborhood and likelihood of exercise among adult residents of eight European cities. Data were collected by a survey of neighborhood, housing, and health conducted by the World Health Organization in 2002 and 2003. Baseline category logistic regression models were fit to estimate the association between perceived safety and exercise, accounting for demographic and place-of-residence characteristics. Among women, perception of safety was associated with a 22% (95% confidence interval: 1.00, 1.54) and a 40% (95% confidence interval: 1.03,1.91) elevation in the odds of occasional and frequent exercise, respectively. Among men, perception of safety was associated with a 39% elevation in the odds of occasional exercise, but there was no association with frequent exercise. If these findings were replicated, they would suggest that health promotion efforts could target residential areas without the need to identify specific persons.
