Recommended community strategies and measurements to prevent obesity in the United States. (2009, background): “Some increased level of physical activity among residents of mixed-use neighborhoods might be attributable to selection of these types of neighborhoods by persons more likely to engage in physical activity (119).”
Physical activity and food environments: solutions to the obesity epidemic. (2009, background): “A disturbing early finding was that walkability was related to physical activity (Frank et al. 2005) and obesity (Frank, Andresen, and Schmid 2004) among non-Hispanic whites, but not among African Americans.”
Does Residential Density Increase Walking and Other Physical Activity? (2007, methodology): “It is also unusual in having objective measures of overall physical activity and of the environment (but see Frank et al., 2005).”
Walking, Urban Design, and Health (2008, background): “The “number of intersections” variable has become common in land use–travel studies (e.g., Ewing and Cervero 2002, Table 4; Frank et al. 2005).”
An ecological approach to creating active living communities. (2006, background): “Multidisciplinary teams are now collaborating routinely, and studies have emerged linking the walkability of neighborhoods or sprawl of regions with physical activity (25), obesity (21, 23), and risk of chronic diseases (21, 78).”
Walkability of local communities: using geographic information systems to objectively assess relevant environmental attributes. (2007, background): “, 2004; Frank and Pivo, 1995); however, as yet, there are only a limited number of studies that have used environmental variables derived objectively from GIS data (GilesCorti and Donovan, 2002a, 2003; Troped et al., 2001, 2003; Kirtland et al., 2003; Frank et al., 2005).”
Understanding Physical Activity Environmental Correlates: Increased Specificity for Ecological Models (2005, methodology): “For example, in terms of walking for transport, the neighborhood attributes closer to a respondent’s home will be more important (3,10) than those further way.”
Stepping towards causation: do built environments or neighborhood and travel preferences explain physical activity, driving, and obesity? (2007, methodology): “Detailed recruitment procedures are described elsewhere (see Frank et al., 2004, 2005).”
Does Fear of Crime Discourage Walkers? A Social-Ecological Exploration of Fear As a Deterrent to Walking (2014, methodology): “Different physical environmental variables were used to adjust for the transport and recreational walking outcomes, as characteristics best described as “practical” tend to be associated with transport walking (Boer, Zheng, Overton, Ridgeway, & Cohen, 2007; Frank et al., 2005; McCormack, GilesCorti,”
