Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The current study investigated the relationship of physical environmental variables with physical activity among Korean older adults. A total of 401 older adults aged 65 years old or older (Mage =
75.17 years, SD = ±7.24) were recruited from the Nowon district of northern Seoul. Standardized scales were used to measure physical activity and its related environmental variables. The results indicated that physical activity was significantly correlated with availability of facilities and quality of facilities.
Physical environmental variables had a significant direct path to explain physical activity.
