Obesity relationships with community design, physical activity, and time spent in cars
TL;DR: Land-use mix had the strongest association with obesity, and relationships among urban form, walk distance, and time in a car were stronger among white than black cohorts, while relationships among the built environment, travel patterns, and weight may vary across gender and ethnicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linking objectively measured physical activity with objectively measured urban form: findings from SMARTRAQ.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that community design is significantly associated with moderate levels of physical activity is supported and the rationale for the development of policy that promotes increased levels of land-use mix, street connectivity, and residential density as interventions that can have lasting public health benefits is supported.
