- W2323328240 abstract "Introduction: Because of the relatively high level of dog ownership in many industrialized countries (20–40%), there has been a growing interest in dog walking as a unique and marketable resource to provide physical activity for many individuals in the community. Despite growing interest in the environmental correlates of physical activity, there appears to be a few studies that investigated the effect of the built environment on walking with their dog among dog owners. Thus, the present study examined the association between the objectively-measured built environment and dog owners walking with their dog.Methods: Participants were community-dwelling Japanese dog owners aged 40 to 70 years who responded to a population-based cross-sectional mail survey (n = 213, 19.8%). Physical activity, dog ownership, dog walking, and socio-demographic attributes [sex, age, educational attainment, marital status, employment status, living with family or other cohabiters, body mass index (BMI), and self-efficacy and social support for physical activity] were self-reported. Residential density, land use mix, access to public transport (number), sidewalk coverage (total distance) and access to public parks (number) within a 1.6 km network buffer around residential addresses were measured using geographic information systems. Univarited logistic regression models adjusted for all socio-demographic variables, BMI, and self-efficacy and social support for physical activity were used.Results: Overall, 70.8% (n = 150) of Japanese dog owners were reported that they walked with their dog for an average of 208.3 ± 197.2 minutes/week. Sidewalk coverage (OR = 2.02, 95% CI: 1.02–3.00, p = 0.044) and access to public parks (OR = 2.34 95% CI: 1.17–4.70, p = 0.017) were positively associated with dog walking. However, other three of the objective measures of the built environment—including residential density (OR = 1.72, 95% CI: 0.84–3.51, p = 0.135), land use mix (OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 0.84–3.41, p = 0.138), and access to public transport (OR = 1.72 95% CI: 0.87–3.38, p = 0.117) —were not significantly associated with owners walking with their dog.Discussion: The present study indicates that supportive built environment is important for encouraging dog owners to walk with their dog. In particular, dog owners may be more encouraged to walk with their dog if they have more sidewalks and accessible parks within their neighborhood. Also, the results of the present study indicate that features of supportive objectively-measured built environment for dog walking would be relatively similar with those for not transport-related walking, but rather recreational walking. Thus, creating a supportive neighborhood environment for recreational walking would be a first fundamental step in promoting dog walking.
