Abstract

This study examined whether the built environment was associated with physical activity among adolescents in Oslo, Norway, and the role of socioeconomic position and gender as potential moderators of this association. We used data from 897 adolescents who participated in the TACKLE cross-sectional study conducted in 2020. Built environment features (recreational facilities, parks, forest, public transport, traffic calming devices, and schools) were assessed objectively using Geographical Information Systems. Physical activity data included device-measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, total physical activity, and self-reported active transportation to school. Using general linear models and logistic regression, we found that most built environment features were unrelated to the participants’ device-measured physical activity. Longer distances to school and to traffic calming devices were associated with decreased likelihood of participants reporting active transportation to school. Our moderated regression analysis showed that adolescents with low socioeconomic backgrounds seemed less affected by longer distances to school compared with their high socioeconomic counterparts. Furthermore, boys appeared to be more sensitive to traffic safety relative to girls. Implementing traffic calming devices may enhance active transportation to school and improve traffic safety for Norwegian adolescents.

为运动而建:街区与青少年体育活动行为,以及社会经济地位和性别的调节作用
本研究探讨了建筑环境是否与挪威奥斯陆青少年的体育锻炼有关,以及社会经济地位和性别对这种关联的潜在调节作用。我们使用了 897 名青少年的数据,他们参加了 2020 年进行的 TACKLE 横断面研究。我们使用地理信息系统对建筑环境特征(娱乐设施、公园、森林、公共交通、交通疏导装置和学校)进行了客观评估。体力活动数据包括设备测量的中强度体力活动、总体力活动和自我报告的积极上学交通。通过使用一般线性模型和逻辑回归,我们发现大多数建筑环境特征与参与者的设备测量体力活动无关。距离学校较远和距离交通疏导设施较远与参与者报告的积极交通方式上学的可能性降低有关。我们的调节回归分析表明,与社会经济背景较高的青少年相比,社会经济背景较低的青少年受上学路途较远的影响似乎较小。此外,与女孩相比,男孩似乎对交通安全更为敏感。对于挪威青少年来说,实施交通疏导设施可以加强上学途中的主动交通,改善交通安全状况。
