“…It was defi ned as locations people could reach within ten minutes walking A modifi ed scale, based on the NEWS version validated in Brazil, was used to establish data validity and the true relationship with the contextual data of the environment. 14 Although the contextual indicators are associated and follow the same direction of relationship as indicators previously found to be related to physical activity, 17 a recent study found low agreement between objectively measured data and self-reported data. 1 Therefore, it is possible that the objective and perceived variables capture different aspects of the environment, which would explain the low agreement.…”

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the association between practice of physical activity and the perception of the community environment among adults. METHODS:A cross-sectional study of 890 adults carried out in Ermelino Matarazzo district in São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, 2007. The dependent variables were the practice of at least 150 minutes per week in leisure time physical activity and walking for commuting. Independent variables concerned the environment, and adjustment variables were sex, age, education and length of time living in the neighborhood. RESULTS:Variables associated with leisure time physical activity were: invitation from friends/neighbors, the presence of facilities less than ten minutes walking from the house and the absence of bars within ten minutes walking distance of the house. Public safety was associated with walking for commuting. CONCLUSIONS:To promote physical activity in areas of low socioeconomic status, it is fundamental to invest in public safety and facilities for physical activity, in addition to promoting social support networks.

Study Objectives: To evaluate whether an adverse neighborhood environment has higher prevalence of poor sleep in a US Hispanic/Latino population. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was performed in 2156 US Hispanic/Latino participants aged 18-64 years from the Sueño ancillary study of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL). Participants completed surveys of neighborhood environment including perceived safety, violence and noise, the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and 7 days of wrist actigraphy. Results: In age and sex-adjusted analyses, short sleep, low sleep efficiency, and late sleep midpoint were all more prevalent among those living in an unsafe neighborhood. After adjustment for background, site, nativity, income, employment, depressive symptoms, and sleep apnea, the absolute risk of sleeping <6 hours was 7.7 (95% CI [0.9, 14.6]) percentage points greater in those living in an unsafe compared to a safe neighborhood. There were no differences in the prevalence of insomnia by level of safety or violence. Insomnia was more prevalent among those living in a noisy neighborhood. In adjusted analysis, the absolute risk of insomnia was 4.4 (95% CI [0.4, 8.4]) percentage points greater in those living in noisy compared to non-noisy neighborhoods. Conclusion: Using validated measures of sleep duration and insomnia, we have demonstrated the existence of a higher prevalence of short sleep and insomnia by adverse neighborhood factors. An adverse neighborhood environment is an established risk factor for a variety of poor health outcomes. Our findings suggest negative effects on sleep may represent one pathway by which neighborhood environment influences health.

“…More broadly, a similar chasm exists when perceived and actual safety from crime have been examined (McGinn et al, 2008;Hoehner et al, 2005, andKirtland et al, 2003) and in describing perceived and objective built environment characteristics like density, walkability, and land use mix around one's home (Moudon et al, 2005;McGinn et al, 2007McGinn et al, , 2008Kirtland et al, 2003).…”
