Abstract | Non-exercise physical activity (NEPA) is an important component
of energy expenditure, but little is known about its associations
with the perceived neighbourhood environment in adolescents.We
investigated these associations in the HKSOS project 2006–07. We
included 33692 Chinese students from 42 randomly selected secondary
schools (44.9% boys; mean age 14.8, SD 1.9 years). NEPA
referred to mild unstructured physical activities such as walking
and moving around, and was analysed as an outcome of 30+
minutes (after school and during weekend) vs <30 minutes per day.
Specific neighbourhood facilities (n = 19) within 5 minutes of walk
from home that were significantly associated with NEPA were
grouped by type as binary variables (presence vs absence): services
(library, youth centre), eating places (restaurant, convenience
store), sports (7 items, e.g. sports centre), tram/bus stops (including
minibus), railway stations (excluding light and underground
railways), and entertainments (3 items, e.g. game centre). Multivariable
logistic regression adjusted for facilities mutually, potential
confounders and school clustering. The above types of facilities
were commonly reported: services (46.0%), restaurants (69.0%),
sports (81.0), tram/bus stops (79.0%), railway stations (20.4%),
and entertainments (40.2%). NEPA was associated positively with
facilities of services (adjusted odds ratio 1.09, 95% CI 0.99–1.20),
sports (1.62, 1.45–1.81), railway stations (1.08, 0.95–1.22), and
entertainments (1.23, 1.11–1.36), but negatively with eating places
(0.74, 0.66–0.84) and tram/bus stops (0.80, 0.68–0.93). Neighbourhood
sports and entertainment facilities may encourage adolescent
use, resulting in higher NEPA, but the convenience of eating
places and tram/bus stops nearby may lower the need for NEPA. |
