Built environmental correlates of older adults’ total physical activity and walking: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2017, background): “Indeed, associations of PA with objective and perceived measures of the built environment tend to differ [34, 35].”
An ecological approach to creating active living communities. (2006, methodology): “Using direct observation, more detailed objective measures of environments are being applied to neighborhood characteristics (38, 62), parks (65), and trails (80).”
In search of causality: a systematic review of the relationship between the built environment and physical activity among adults (2011, background): “Positive associations between walking for transport and access to and the quality of pedestrian infrastructure such as maintained sidewalks, pedestrian-level lighting and shade, and street furniture, have also been found [12,17].”
Systematic literature review of built environment effects on physical activity and active transport – an update and new findings on health equity (2017, background): “While acknowledging the important role of perceptions on the relationship between the built environment and activity behaviours [73, 74], this review focused only on objectively assessed built environment features.”
