背景目的地的存在和组合是建筑环境的一个重要方面，可能会鼓励或阻碍身体活动。本研究探讨了邻近地区的目的地和体育活动的接近和混合之间的关联。方法.对西澳大利亚成年人（n=1394）的体力活动数据进行了二次分析。这些数据与地理信息系统（GIS）数据相关联，包括距离受访者家中400至1500英里范围内的目的地的存在和组合。协会与步行的运输和娱乐和剧烈的体力活动进行了检查。结果在400英寸（OR 1.63-5.00）范围内访问邮箱，公共汽车站，便利店，通讯社，购物中心和中转站以及在1500英寸（OR 1.75-2.38）范围内访问学校，中转站，通讯社，便利店和购物中心与参与定期交通相关的步行有关。目的地的组合和步行运输之间的剂量反应关系也被发现。400和1500英寸内的每一个额外的目的地导致额外的12和11分钟/两周花费步行运输，分别。结论目的地的邻近性和混合性似乎与步行交通密切相关，但与步行娱乐或剧烈活动无关。增加目的地的多样性可能有助于成年人进行更多与交通有关的步行，并达到推荐的身体活动水平。(C)2007年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Background. The presence and mix of destinations is an important aspect of the built environment that may encourage or discourage physical activity. This study examined the association between the proximity and mix of neighbourhood destinations and physical activity. Methods. Secondary analysis was undertaken on physical activity data from Western Australian adults (n=1394). These data were linked with geographical information systems (GIs) data including the presence and the mix of destinations located within 400 and 1500 in from respondents' homes. Associations with walking for transport and recreation and vigorous physical activity were examined. Results. Access to post boxes, bus stops, convenience stores, newsagencies, shopping malls, and transit stations within 400 in (OR 1.63-5.00) and schools, transit stations, newsagencies, convenience stores and shopping malls within 1500 in (OR 1.75-2.38) was associated with participation in regular transport-related walking. A dose-response relationship between the mix of destinations and walking for transport was also found. Each additional destination within 400 and 1500 in resulted in an additional 12 and 11 min/fortnight spent walking for transport, respectively. Conclusion. Proximity and mix of destinations appears strongly associated with walking for transport, but not walking for recreation or vigorous activity. Increasing the diversity of destinations may contribute to adults doing more transport-related walking and achieving recommended levels of physical activity. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
