Abstract Introduction Physical activity is an important prognostic factor in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Walkability also affects physical activity. This study aimed to examine the effects of walkability on Methods multicenter included 372 outpatients (69.1 ± 11.9 years, 229 males) hemodialysis at eight facilities Japan. Patients were classified into two groups according walk score (WS) home: WS ≥ 50 (walkable area group) and < (car-dependent group). The total activity, moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA), walking that was assessed using International Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) examined. Results In multivariate analysis, positively associated with ( β = 0.129, p 0.013) negatively MVPA −0.102, 0.045). Subgroup analysis stratified by age 65 years showed similar results both groups. Conclusions various intensities Japanese Exercise management should take account characteristics depending residential area. Trial registration : UMIN, UMIN000050089.

Built Environment Influences on Active Travel in the Twin Cities Region: Evidence from a Smartphone-Based Household Travel Survey

Transportation Research Record Journal of the Transportation Research Board, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Compelling evidence links the built environment to active transportation behaviors. However, prevailing studies often rely on relatively coarse characterizations of explore relationships between and transportation, such as using respondent home locations alone calculate measures. This study leveraged detailed location information that was collected a smartphone-based travel survey in Twin Cities metropolitan region better understand associations factors We found variables calculated across all visited by respondents over 7-day window strengthened Including measures at (i.e., not just location) further these relationships. Further, we including measured along trips trace data while were moving) revealed additional with describing system, density bicycle facilities. More broadly, this work demonstrates how routinely can be valuable diverse range stakeholders public health researchers practitioners.

Association between snack intake behaviors of children and neighboring women: a population-based cross-sectional analysis with spatial regionalization

Accumulated evidence indicates that neighborhood environments affect children's health behaviors. However, measuring remains challenging because there exist strengths and weaknesses both in objective perceived environment measures. Drawing on a recent conceptual model of how environment, perception, behavior interact, we hypothesized neighbors' behavioral similarities indicate the combined influence physical social environmental opportunities specific We then examined these (i.e. tendencies adult neighbors) relate to obesogenic dietary

Does growing up in a physical activity-friendly neighborhood increase the likelihood of remaining active during adolescence and early adulthood?

The SOPHYA-cohort-study investigated whether the objectively characterized and perceived residential neighborhood of Swiss youth predict accelerometer-measured physical activity in specific domains (participation a sports club cycling) five years later. At baseline 2014, 1230 children adolescents aged 6 to 16 participated wore accelerometers for 7 days. Of these children, 447 again follow-up study 2019 provided longitudinal accelerometer measurements. Sociodemographic factors perceptions local neighbourhood were assessed by questionnaire. Specific objective environmental data (e.g. built environment or social environment) was modelled children's address at baseline. Multivariate linear logistic regression models applied identify short- long-term characteristics that are associated with accelerometer-based activity, cycling participation organised sport. If neighborhood-score as parents 2014 middle lowest tertile, significantly less active cross-sectionally (-41.1 (-78.0;-4.2) -52.4 (-88.6;-16.2) counts per minute, cpm), later (-52.4 48.1 (-86.6;-9.7) cpm). In addition, they also likely accumulate minutes above median both measuring points compared peers same age sex. Using modeled around address, similar associations found: tertile proportion green space achieved cpm while high main street density low socioeconomic environment, respectively, hindered tracking longitudinally. Also sport club, more pronounced analyses. results suggest growing up friendly increases likelihood remaining during adolescence early adulthood.
