Abstract
Objective: This study investigated the association of perceived neighborhood qualities with likelihood of transit walking, leisure walking, neighborhood walking, and meeting physical activity (PA) recommendations among US adults with arthritis.
Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized 2020 National Health Interview Survey data. Included participants were adults reporting clinician-diagnosed arthritis and who reported the ability to walk. Exposures of interest were perceived neighborhood attributes. Outcomes were transit walking, leisure walking, neighborhood walking, and meeting PA recommendations. Standardized mean difference percent (SMD%) was used to assess relationships between exposures and outcomes with SMD% >10% resulting in inclusion in final adjusted multivariate logistic regression models for odds of outcomes. All analyses were weighted to account for complex survey methodology.
Results: The analytic sample included 7,322 adults with arthritis. Fully adjusted logistic regression models showed presence of roads to walk on was associated with meeting PA recommendations (OR=1.26[95%CI=1.07-1.49]). Three attributes were positively associated with transit walking, while safety from crime was negatively associated (OR=2.33[95%CI=1.75-3.10], OR=1.49[95%CI=1.17-1.91], OR=1.67[95%CI=1.34-2.08]), OR=0.70[95%CI=0.53-0.92]). Roads to walk and places to walk and relax were associated with leisure and neighborhood walking (OR=1.46[95%CI=1.21-1.76], OR=1.56[95%CI=1.34-1.82], OR=1.58[95%CI=1.29-1.93], OR=1.63[95%CI=1.40-1.90], respectively).
Conclusion: This study identified several neighborhood characteristics associated with higher likelihood of walking behaviors among adults with arthritis. Factors associated with walking behavior varied by type of walking. The shared correlates between leisure and neighborhood walking imply they occur in the same setting. Patients with arthritis may benefit from exercise recommendations that are informed by the presence or absence of facilitating infrastructure in their neighborhoods.
期刊介绍：
Arthritis Care & Research, an official journal of the American College of Rheumatology and the Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals (a division of the College), is a peer-reviewed publication that publishes original research, review articles, and editorials that promote excellence in the clinical practice of rheumatology. Relevant to the care of individuals with rheumatic diseases, major topics are evidence-based practice studies, clinical problems, practice guidelines, educational, social, and public health issues, health economics, health care policy, and future trends in rheumatology practice.
