Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS HIn49R0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. We examined the influence of dog ownership on physical activity, independent of demographic, intrapersonal, and perceived environmental factors, in a cross-sectional survey of 1813 adults. Although only 23% of the dog owners walked their dogs 5 or more times per week, the adjusted odds of achieving sufficient physical activity and walking were 57% to 77% higher among dog owners compared with those not owning dogs (P<. 05). Dog ownership was independently associated with physical activity and walking. Actively encouraging more dog walking may increase community physical activity levels. |
