Abstract:
There is evidence that neighbourhood walkability and greenery are associated with walking, but less is known about their joint associations. We investigated this using data from the AusDiab3 study (2011/12) with 3032 adults (mean age 60 years). Two-level logistic regression models were used with binary walking outcomes. There was an inverse relationship (r = -0.5) between walkability (a composite measure of residential, destinations and intersections densities) and greenery (the size of densely vegetated areas). However, both walkability and greenery were independently positively associated with odds of walking. Regarding joint associations, in low-walkability neighbourhoods, greenery was positively associated with walking. In high-walkability neighbourhoods, greenery was not associated with walking.
摘要:
有证据表明,邻里步行和绿化与步行有关,但对他们的联合协会知之甚少。我们使用来自AusDiab3研究(2011/12)的3032名成年人(平均年龄60岁)的数据进行了调查。使用具有二元步行结果的两水平逻辑回归模型。步行性(住宅的综合衡量标准,目的地和十字路口密度)和绿化(密集植被区域的大小)。然而,步行性和绿化与步行几率呈独立正相关。关于联合协会,在低步行性社区,绿化与步行呈正相关。在高步行性社区,绿化与步行无关。
