Characteristics of the built environment in relation to objectively measured physical activity among Mexican adults, 2011.

Introduction: The built environment correlates of physical activity are documented in high-income countries but have yet to be studied among Mexican adults. Our objectives were to assess the associations between characteristics of the built environment and physical activity among adults in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and to examine potential moderation by perceived park and neighborhood safety.

Methods: We conducted a population-based study of adults in Cuernavaca, Mexico, in 2011 (N = 677).
