Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS zdER0x8M. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. We evaluated perceived social and environmental supports for physical activity and walking using multivariable modeling. Perceptions were obtained on a sample of households in a south-eastern county. Respondents were classified according to physical activity levels and walking behaviors. Respondents who had good street lighting ; trusted their neighbors ; and used private recreational facilities, parks, playgrounds, and sports fields were more likely to be regularly active. Perceiving neighbors as being active, having access to side-walks, and using malls were associated with regular walking. |
