Objectively measuring the association between the built environment and physical activity: a systematic review and reporting framework

International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 19(1)

Опубликована: Сен. 14, 2022

Abstract Background Objective measures of built environment and physical activity provide the opportunity to directly compare their relationship across different populations spatial contexts. This systematic review synthesises current body knowledge gaps around impact objectively measured metrics on levels in adults (≥ 18 years). Additionally, this aims address need for improved quality methodological reporting evaluate studies improve inter-study comparability though creation a framework. Methods A search literature was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. After abstract full-text screening, 94 were included final review. Results synthesised using an association matrix show overall between variables. Finally, new PERFORM (’Physical Environmental Reporting Framework Objectively Recorded Measures’) checklist created applied rating them four key areas: study design characteristics, exposures, metrics, activity. Studies came from 21 countries ranged two days six years duration. Accelerometers geographic information system (GIS) define extent exposure pre-defined geocoded location most popular tools capture respectively.

Commonly investigated elements walkability, access parks green space. Areas where there strong evidence positive or negative identified.

In recent years there has been an increase in the use of micromobility devices cities worldwide. Due to their novelty, effects on population health are still unknown. this study, we aim explore association between conventional and electric modes daily physical activity levels adult city Barcelona. Tracking data for 129 adults were collected 2020 2021 as part NEWMOB project. Participants each wore accelerometer answered travel diaries a week. reported through log. Objective reports obtained from data. Statistical analysis explored self-reported -shared bike, shared e-bike, e-scooter- objective activity. On average, bike users, users that combined different higher time spent moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) than other users. The lowest mean MVPA found among scooter non-micromobility terms light levels, highest correspond mixed scooters. Analysing guidelines compliance, mix groups more often met guidelines. Micromobility such bikes can help maintain high MVPA, while meeting guidelines, contrast e-scooters.

Neighbourhood walkability and physical activity: moderating role of a physical activity intervention in overweight and obese older adults with metabolic syndrome

Age and Ageing, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 50(3), С. 963 - 968

Опубликована: Окт. 21, 2020

While urban built environments might promote active ageing, an infrequently studied question is how the neighbourhood walkability modulates physical activity changes during a intervention programme in older adults. We assessed influence of objectively on change used ongoing PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED)-Plus trial.The present study involved 228 PREDIMED-Plus senior participants aged between 55 and 75, recruited Palma de Mallorca (Spain). Overweight/obese adults with metabolic syndrome were randomised to intensive weight-loss lifestyle or control group. A index (residential density, land use mix, intersections density) was calculated using geographic information systems (1 km sausage-network buffer). Physical accelerometer validated questionnaire, at baseline two follow-up visits (6-months 1-year later). Generalised additive mixed models fitted estimate association follow-up.Higher z-score increment) associated moderate-to-vigorous duration, (β = 3.44; 95% CI 0.52; 6.36 min/day). When analyses stratified by arm, only observed group 6.357; 2.07;10.64 min/day) (P for interaction 0.055).The results indicate that could support intervention, helping maintain increase adults' activity.

Before herd immunity is reached, preventive practices still play an important role in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. Adherence to behaviors could be determined by individuals' health beliefs, which would influenced antecedent factors such as previous exposure pandemic stressors. Applying belief model (HBM), this study aims examine mediation association among stressors, HBM constructs, and behaviors. Longitudinal data were collected from 1225 Chinese college students using web-based surveys at wave 1 (w1; between January 31 February 11, 2020) 2 (w2; March 20 April 3, 2020). Participants reported their stressors (w1), five constructs (w2), (w1 w2). Paired t-tests suggested that social distancing self-quarantine decreased while precautionary increased w1 w2. Path analysis indicated two (perceived barriers self-efficacy) mediated These findings tailored prevention intervention for should attend perceived self-efficacy. Individuals who exposed multiple merit particular attention account early stress experiences.
