Aims: To investigate the associations between green space and health, health-related quality of life stress, respectively. Methods: Data were derived from 2005 Danish Health Interview Survey are based on a region-stratified random sample 21,832 adults. collected via face-to-face interviews followed by self-administered questionnaire, including SF-36, which measures eight dimensions health Perceived Stress Scale, self-reported stress. A total 11,238 respondents completed interview returned...
The World Health Organization recommends strategies to improve urban design, public transportation, and recreation facilities facilitate physical activity for non-communicable disease prevention an increasingly urbanized global population. Most evidence supporting environmental associations with comes from single countries or regions limited variation in form. This paper documents comparable built environment features across diverse regions. International Physical Activity the Environment...
Nature underpins human well-being in critical ways, especially health. provides pollination of nutritious crops, purification drinking water, protection from floods, and climate security, among other well-studied health benefits. A crucial, yet challenging, research frontier is clarifying how nature promotes physical activity for its many mental benefits, particularly densely populated cities with scarce dwindling access to nature. Here we frame this by conceptually developing a spatial...
Creating more physical activity–supportive built environments is recommended by the World Health Organization for controlling noncommunicable diseases. The IPEN (International Physical Activity and Environment Network) Adult Study was undertaken to provide international evidence on associations of with activity weight status in 12 countries 5 continents ( n > 14,000). This article presents reanalyzed data from eight primary papers identify patterns findings across studies. Neighborhood...
Background : Many of the known solutions to physical inactivity pandemic operate across sectors relevant United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Methods The authors examined contribution activity promotion strategies toward achieving SDGs through a conceptual linkage exercise, scoping review, and an agent-based model. Results Possible benefits were identified for 15 17 SDGs, with more robust evidence supporting 3 (good health well-being), 9 (industry, innovation,...
The emergence of portable global positioning system (GPS) receivers over the last 10 years has provided researchers with a means to objectively assess spatial position in free-living conditions. However, use GPS conditions is not without challenges and aim this study was test dynamic accuracy device under real-world environmental conditions, for four modes transport, using three data collection intervals. We selected routes on different bearings, passing through variation City Copenhagen,...
Understanding factors that influence accurate assessment of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) is important to measurement development, epidemiologic studies, interventions. This study examined agreement between self-reported (International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form [IPAQ-LF]) accelerometry-based estimates PA SB across six countries identified correlates between-method agreement.Self-report objective (accelerometry-based) data were collected in 2002-2011 from...
Background: This study examines the relationship between distance to green space and level of physical activity among population Denmark. In addition, obesity is investigated. Methods: Data derived from Danish National Health Interview Survey 2005, a cross-sectional survey based on region-stratified random nationally representative sample 21,832 adults. All data are self-reported. Results: Respondents living more than 1 km had lower odds using exercise keep in shape compared with persons...
Knowledge on domain-specific physical activity (PA) has the potential to advance public health interventions and inform new policies promoting children’s PA. The purpose of this study is identify assess domains (leisure, school, transport, home) subdomains (e.g., recess, playgrounds, urban green space) for week day moderate vigorous PA (MVPA) using objective measures investigate gender age differences. Participants included 367 Danish children adolescents (11–16 years, 52% girls) with...
From 4 to 7 April 2016, 24 researchers from 8 countries and a variety of academic disciplines gathered in Snekkersten, Denmark, reach evidence-based consensus about physical activity children youth, that is, individuals between 6 18 years. Physical is an overarching term consists many structured unstructured forms within school out-of-school-time contexts, including organised sport, education, outdoor recreation, motor skill development programmes, recess, active transportation such as...
