| This session includes presentations on various types of typical built environments found in The Americas. These community-level settings include urban areas, particularly inner cities; rural areas such as agricultural towns; assisted living communities and active living communities for elderly subpopulations desiring improved quality of life; and programs for school-aged children with a focus on preventing obesity through physical activities, good nutrition, and/or health and environmental education. Specifically, the speakers will focus within one of the aforementioned categories on case studies concerning policy and/or interventions. | |||
| Learning Objectives: Understand that different communities face different challenges in promoting physical activity; identify some of the barriers to physical activity in inner-cities neighborhoods; describe the policy initiatives necessary if physical activity levels are to be increased; define indicators and constructs of the built environment as measured by a telephone survey; identify aspects of the built environment that are associated with obesity in a rural population; articulate the relative importance of the built environment compared with known risk factors for obesity; describe the magnitude of association between factors of the built environment and pedestrian and bicycling activity; evaluate methodologies used to assess physical activity and the built environment. | |||
