Environment, Neighborhood, Health, Lifestyle, Quality of life, Mental healthAbstract
Background: The characteristics of the residence environment seem to be closely related to the health status of its residents, and the infrastructure linked to the practice of physical activity may have a direct influence on health. The objective of the study was to analyze the physical activity practice environment, evaluating in adolescents their relationship with various lifestyle habits and indicators of physical and psychosocial health, academic performance, as well as the influence of various sociodemographic variables.
Methods: The study was carried out in a sample of 761 students (14.51±1.63 years) from 25 educational centers in a region of northern Spain. The environment for the practice of physical activity, physical activity engagement, the hours of night sleep, the adherence to the Mediterranean diet, the maximum oxygen uptake, the body mass index, the health-related quality of life were assessed, self-esteem, academic performance and various sociodemographic factors.
Results: The residence in more favorable environments for the realization of physical activity was associated with higher physical activity engagement, adherence to the Mediterranean diet, maximum oxygen uptake, self-esteem and health-related quality of life. In addition, the rates of residence in more favorable environments for the realization of physical activity were lower on the part of migrants and those with low/medium socioeconomic status.
Conclusions: The infrastructure linked to the practice of physical activity is associated with the well-being of its residents, so interventions aimed at child and adolescent health should take into account the promotion of residential spaces that facilitate access to said practice.
