Overview

Latent class profiles of physical environments impact preschooler activity levels, indicating urban planning relevance.

Key Points

  • Living in 'Higher blue space' and 'Semi-rural' profiles increased total daily physical activity.
  • Children in 'Higher blue space' areas engaged in more activity compared to those in 'Higher public transport & destination mix'.
  • Parent reports on children's outdoor play complemented objective physical activity measurements using accelerometry.
  • The research suggests varying urban forms need consideration for effective urban planning and policy.
