Sociospatial distribution of access to facilities for moderate and vigorous intensity physical activity in Scotland by different modes of transport

摘要

BackgroundPeople living in neighbourhoods of lower socioeconomic status have been shown to have higher rates of obesity and a lower likelihood of meeting physical activity recommendations than their more affluent counterparts. This study examines the sociospatial distribution of access to facilities for moderate or vigorous intensity physical activity in Scotland and whether such access differs by the mode of transport available and by Urban Rural Classification.
