Resumen en inglés | OBJECTIVE To verify the associations of leisure walking with perceived and objective measures of neighborhood environmental factors stratified by gender and socioeconomic status (SES) in Brazilian adolescents. METHODS Cross-sectional study with a random sample of 1,130 high school students (47.3% girls; aged 14 to 20 years old) from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Leisure walking and SES were self-reported by the adolescents. Perceived environmental factors were assessed through Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale for Youth (NEWS-Y). Objective measures were evaluated using Geographic Information Systems, with road network calculated around the adolescent’s residential address, using 0.5km and 1.0km buffers. Data collection was carried out in 2017 and generalized linear regression models were used. RESULTS Leisure walking was positively associated with access to services (0.5 km buffers Odds ratio (OR) = 2.22 1.0 km buffers OR = 2.17) and lower distance to parks and squares (0.5 km OR=2.80 1.0 km OR = 2.73) in girls from low SES. Residential density (0.5 km OR = 1.57 1.0 km OR = 1.54) and walkability index (0.5 km OR = 1.17 1.0 km OR = 1.20) were associated with leisure walking in girls from middle SES. Boys from low SES showed an inverse association between crime safety and leisure walking (0.5 km OR = 0.59 1.0 km OR = 0.63). Neighborhood recreation facilities was positively associated with leisure walking in middle SES (0.5 km OR = 1.55 1.0 km OR = 1.60). Land use mix (0.5 km OR = 1.81 1.0 km OR = 1.81), neighborhood recreation facilities (0.5 km OR = 2.32 1.0 km OR = 2.28) and places for walking (0.5 km OR=2.07 1.0 km OR=2.22) were positively associated with leisure walking in high SES. CONCLUSION Environmental factors (objectively and subjectively measured) and leisure walking show association in boys and girls of different SES. |
