- Abstract: Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyze the association between neighborhood environment and the objective measures of physical activity (PA) according to nutritional status in the adult population. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed. The information was collected from 161 representative subjects of the CESCAS study population from Temuco- Chile. The perception of the neighborhood environment was determined using the IPAQ Environmental- Module. PA was measured objectively by a triaxial accelerometer for 7 consecutive days. Weight and height were measured. The relationship between the residential environment and the PA levels was summarized through linear regression models stratified by nutritional status. Results: The perceived residential environmental attributes that support active transport were positively associated with total moderate-vigorous PA (MVPA) (β 397 min/week, CI 80–714, p = 0.019) in people with normal nutritional status, but not in overweight and obese individuals. In addition, living near to a public transport stop was associated with higher levels of moderate PA only in normal-weight subjects (β 383 min/week, CI 72–694, p = 0.021). Also living in a neighborhood with traffic safety was associated with higher levels of light PA in normal-weight subjects (β 518 min/week, CI 208–829, p = 0.004). Conclusions: There was no significant association between perceived neighborhood environment and PA in people with obesity.Abstract: Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyze the association between neighborhood environment and the objective measures of physical activity (PA) according to nutritional status in the adult population.

Resumen: Introducción: El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la asociación entre la percepción del entorno de residencia y medidas objetivas de actividad física (AF) de acuerdo al estado nutricional en población adulta. Métodos: Estudio de corte transversal realizado en 161 participantes representativos del estudio CESCAS de Temuco-Chile. La percepción del entorno de residencia fue determinada usando el Modulo Ambiental del IPAQ. La actividad física fue medida objetivamente por un acelerómetro triaxial por siete días consecutivos. El peso y la talla fueron medidos de forma estandarizada. La relación entre en entorno de residencia y los niveles de AF fue analizada mediante modelos de regresion lineal estratificados por estado nutricional. Resultados: La percepción de los atributos del entorno de residencia que promueven el transporte activo, fue positivamente asociado con el total de AF moderada y vigorosa (β 397 min/week, CI 80–714, p = 0.019) en personas con estado nutricional normal, pero no en personas con sobrepeso u obesidad. Además, vivir cerca de una parada de transporte público fue asociado con altos niveles de AF moderada sólo en personas con estado nutricional normal (β 383 min/week, CI 72–694, p = 0.021). Finalmente, vivir en un barrio con seguridad en el tránsito, fue asociado con altos niveles de AF ligera en sujetos normo-peso (β 518 min/week, CI 208–829, p = 0.004). Conclusión: No hubo asociación significativa entre el entorno de residencia y AF en personas con obesidad. Resumo: Introdução: Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a associação entre o ambiente residencial e as medidas objetivas de atividade física (AF) de acordo com o estado nutricional na população adulta. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado em 161 participantes do estudo CESCAS em Temuco, Chile. A percepção do ambiente residencial foi determinada usando o IPAQ Environmental Module. A atividade física foi medida objetivamente por um acelerômetro triaxial por sete dias consecutivos. Peso e altura foram medidos de forma padronizada. A relação entre o ambiente de residência e os níveis de AF foi analisada utilizando modelos de regressão linear estratificados por estado nutricional. Resultados: Os atributos percebidos do ambiente residencial que suportam o transporte ativo foram positivamente associados com AF moderada-vigorosa total (β 397 min/semana, IC 80–714, p = 0, 019) em pessoas com estado nutricional normal, mas não em indivíduos com sobrepeso e obesidade. Também, morar próximo a uma parada do transporte público estava associado a níveis mais altos de AF moderada somente em indivíduos com peso normal (β 383 min/semana, IC 72–694, p = 0, 021). Adicionalmente, morar em um ambiente residencial com segurança no trânsito foi associado com níveis mais elevados do AF ligeira em indivíduos com peso normal (β 518 min/semana, CI 208–829, p = 0, 004). Conclusões: Não houve associação significativa entre ambiente residencial e AF em pessoas com obesidade. Highlights: The residential environmental attributes that support active transport were positively associated with total moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in people with normal nutritional status. There was no significant association between neighborhood environment and physical activity in people with obesity. … (more)
