Abstract
With data from the international cross-sectional IPEN adult study, researchers have examined links between the urban environment and physical activity. They analysed data for 6822 adults, from 14 cities in ten different countries, and six different environmental attributes. Net residential density, number of parks, public transport density, and intersection density were positively associated with physical activity (single variable models; p<0·05), whereas distance to the nearest public transport point and mixed land use were not. Individuals residing in the most activity-friendly cities did 68–89 min more moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week, as assessed by accelerometer, than individuals residing in the least activity-friendly cities (combined variable model).
