What "Moves" the Populations Most Likely to Be Physically Inactive-Women and Older Adults? Evidence From Mueller, a Mixed-Use Neighborhood in Austin, Texas.

Background: Older age groups are less likely than their younger counterparts to be regularly active and women are even less active. Ecological models suggest that multiple levels of influence with each level influencing the next level impacts physical activity behaviors.

Methods: Hierarchical multiple regressions were used to determine factors within and across the ecological model that predicted both total physical activity and walking for recreation.
