| Research Abstract |
There are increasing attentions to neighborhood environment as physical activity determinants. This study examined the association between environmental attributes and physical activity among older adults (age : 65-74 years, N=1921) by cross sectional mail survey. The results showed the association of walking time with environmental attributes including access to exercise facilities, social environment and aesthetics. Patterns of associations differed by gender and type of physical activity. Also the results showed different patterns of associations from previous studies using young to middle aged adult sample. Results of this study suggest the importance of intervening environmental attributes for health promotion among older adults.
