目的：身体环境在影响参与体育活动中起着重要作用，但与不同步行方式相关的具体因素仍有待确定。我们考察了身体环境因素与自述的离家游玩和交通工具步行的相关性。方法：对1678名成年人的周围环境(定义为距被调查者家400米半径)进行步行适宜性评估。2000年期间，使用系统的步行和骑自行车环境扫描(空间)仪器以及来自其他来源的信息收集了环境数据。我们使用Logistic回归模型来检验物理环境属性与自述的离家步行行为之间的关系。结果：功能特征与步行娱乐(OR：1.62；95%可信区间：1.20~2.19)和交通(OR：1.30；95%CI：0.97~1.73)相关。良好的步行表面是游憩步行(OR 2.04；95%CI：1.43~2.91)和交通步行(OR 2.13；95%CI：1.53~2.96)的主要功能因素。目的地因素，如商店和公共交通，与步行交通显著相关(OR 1.80；95%CI：1.33-2.44)，但与娱乐无关。结论：研究结果表明，拥有吸引人和舒适的步行设施的社区，以及有当地目的地(如商店和公共交通)的社区，都与离家近的步行有关。
Purpose: The physical environment plays an important role in influencing participation in physical activity, although the specific factors that are correlated with different patterns of walking remain to be determined We examined correlations between physical environmental factors and self-reported walking for recreation and transport near home. Methods: The local neighborhood environments (defined as a 400-m radius from the respondent's home) of 1678 adults were assessed for their suitability for walking. The environmental data were collected during 2000 using the Systematic Pedestrian and Cycling Environmental Scan (SPACES) instrument together with information from other sources. We used logistic regression modeling to examine the relationship between the attributes of the physical environment and the self-reported walking behavior undertaken near home. Results: Functional features were correlated with both walking for recreation (odds ratio (OR) 1.62; 95% confidence interval (Cl): 1.20-2.19) and for transport (OR 1.30; 95% Cl: 0.97-1.73). A well-maintained walking surface was the main functional factor associated with walking for recreation (OR 2.04; 95% Cl: 1.43-2.91) and for transport (OR 2.13; 95% Cl: 1.53-2.96). Destination factors, such as shops and public transport, were significantly correlated with walking for transport (OR 1.80; 95% Cl: 1.33-2.44), but not recreation. Conclusion: The findings suggest that neighborhoods with pedestrian facilities that are attractive and comfortable and where there are local destinations (such as shops and public transport) are associated with walking near home.
