Preferences of older people for environmental attributes of local parks: The use of choice-based conjoint analysis (2008, background): “The presence of nearby outdoor spaces is known to be associated with more walking by older people ( Li et al. , 2005”
Built Environment Correlates of Walking: A Review (2008, background): “This is particularly evident with objective measures at the micro-level scale, that is objectively operationalizing the built environment around an individual respondent’s residence [23,42,43,46] rather than at a larger scale (e.”
Walkable Route Perceptions and Physical Features (2007, background): “Safety fears have frequently emerged as barriers to walking (Booth et al., 2000; Foster et al., 2004; Li et al., 2005; Sharpe, Granner, Hutto, & Ainsworth, 2004; Wilson, Kirtland, Ainsworth, & Addy, 2004).”
Built environmental correlates of older adults’ total physical activity and walking: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2017, background): “Here, it should be noted that most of the objectively assessed positive findings were from studies based in Portland, USA [64, 92, 93], a city renowned for its walk-friendliness and management of parks in the presence of urban growth [94, 95].”
