Associations of the perceived and objective neighborhood environment with physical activity and sedentary time in New Zealand adolescents
Hinckson, E; Cerin, E; Mavoa, S; Smith, M; Badland, H; Stewart, T; Duncan, S; Schofield, G (BioMed Central, 2017)Background: There is accumulating evidence supporting the association between neighborhood built environments and adults’ physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST); however, few studies have investigated these ... -
Built Environment and Physical Activity in New Zealand Adolescents: A Protocol for a Cross-sectional Study
Hinckson, EA; Duncan, S; Oliver, M; Mavoa, S; Cerin, E; Badland, H; Stewart, T; Ivory, V; McPhee, J; Schofield, G (BMJ Open, 2014)Built-environment interventions have the potential to provide population-wide effects and the means for a sustained effect on behaviour change. Population-wide effects for adult physical activity have been shown with ... -
Distance to School Is Associated With Sedentary Time in Children: Findings From the URBAN Study
Hinckson, EA; McGrath, L; Hopkins, W; Oliver, M; Badland, H; Mavoa, S; Witten, K; Kearns, RA (Frontiers Media S. A., 2014)Sedentary behavior is associated with overweight and obesity in children, and distance to school has been negatively associated with active commuting to school. It is not known how distance to school relates to sedentary ... -
Environmental and Socio-demographic Associates of Children's Active Transport to School: A Cross-sectional Investigation From the URBAN Study
Oliver, M; Badland, H; Mavoa, S; Witten, K; Kearns, R; Ellaway, A; Hinckson, E; Mackay, L; Schluter, PJ (BioMed Central Ltd., 2014)Active transport (e.g., walking, cycling) to school (ATS) can contribute to children's physical activity and health. The built environment is acknowledged as an important factor in understanding children's ATS, alongside ... -
Neighborhood Built Environment and Transport and Leisure Physical Activity: Findings Using Objective Exposure and Outcome Measures in New Zealand
Witten, K; Blakely, T; Bagheri, N; Badland, H; Ivory, V; Pearce, J; Mavoa, S; Hinckson, E; Schofield, G (Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP), 2012)Evidence of associations between neighborhood built environments and transport-related physical activity (PA) is accumulating, but few studies have investigated associations with leisure-time PA. -
Neighbourhood built environment associations with body size in adults: mediating effects of activity and sedentariness in a cross-sectional study of New Zealand adults
Oliver, M; Witten, K; Blakely, T; Parker, K; Badland, H; Schofield, G; Ivory, V; Pearce, J; Mavoa, S; Hinckson, E; Sweetsur, P; Kearns, R (BioMed Central Ltd., 2015)Background: The aim of this study was to determine the associations between body size and built environment walkability variables, as well as the mediating role of physical activity and sedentary behaviours with body size. ... -
Pedestrianisation: Are We Reading From the Same Page? Perspective From Key Stakeholders in Takapuna, Auckland
Wooller, L; Badland, H; Schofield, G (University of Worcester, 2012)Transforming car-oriented streets into functional public spaces and pedestrianised environments has the potential to create environments that support active transport (e.g. walking and cycling), social interaction, and ... -
What are the associations between neighborhood walkability and sedentary time in New Zealand adults? The URBAN cross-sectional study
Hinckson, E; Cerin, E; Mavoa, S; Smith, M; Badland, H; Witten, K; Kearns, R; Schofield, G (BMJ Journals, 2017)Objectives We estimated associations between objectively determined neighbourhood ‘walkability’ attributes and accelerometer-derived sedentary time (ST) by sex, city or type of day. Design A cross-sectional study. Setting ...
