مستخلص: Objectives: To determine (1) reliability of new food environment measures; (2) association between home food environment and fruit and vegetable (FV) intake; and (3) association between community and home food environment. Methods: In 2005, a cross-sectional survey was conducted with readministration to assess test-retest reliability. Adolescents, parents of adolescents, and parents of children (n = 458) were surveyed in San Diego, Boston, and Cincinnati. Results: Most subscales had acceptable reliability. Fruit and vegetable intake was positively associated with availability of healthful food ("r" = 0.15-0.27), FV "(r" = 0.22-0.34), and ratio of more-healthful/less-healthful food in the home ("r" = 0.23-0.31) and was negatively associated with less-healthful food in the home ("r" = -0.17 to -0.18). Home food environment was associated with household income but not with community food environment. Conclusions and Implications: A more healthful home food environment was related to youth FV intake. Higher income households had more healthful food in the home. The potential influence of neighborhood food outlets warrants further study. (Contains 2 tables.)

مستخلص: Background: Physical activity (PA) declines as children and adolescents age. The purpose of this study was to examine how specific school factors relate to youth PA, TV viewing, and body mass index (BMI). Methods: A sample of 12- to 18-year-old adolescents in 3 cities (N = 165, 53% females, mean age 14.6 [plus or minus] 1.7 years, 44% nonwhite) completed surveys assessing days of physical education (PE) class per week, school equipment accessibility, after-school supervised PA, and after-school field access. Regression analyses were conducted to examine relationships between these school factors and PA at school facilities open to the public (never active vs active), overall PA level (days per week physically active for 60 minutes), BMI z score, and TV watching (hours per week). Results: Adjusting for demographics, days of PE per week and access to school fields after school were correlated with overall PA ([beta] = 0.286, p = 0.002, semipartial correlation 0.236 and [beta] = 0.801, p = 0.016, semipartial correlation 0.186, respectively). The association between after-school field access and overall PA was mediated by use of publicly accessible school facilities for PA. After-school supervised PA and school PA equipment were not associated with overall PA. In adjusted regression analyses including all school factors, days of PE remained correlated to overall PA independent of other school factors ([beta] = 0.264, p = 0.007, semipartial correlation = 0.136). There were no associations between school factors and BMI or TV watching. Conclusions: Based on these study findings, PE is a promising intervention to address improving overall adolescent PA within the school setting. (Contains 2 tables.)

مستخلص: This study examined the contributions of home, school, and neighborhood factors related to youth physical activity (PA). Adolescents (ages 12-18; N = 137) and parents of younger children (ages 5-11; N = 104) from three US metropolitan areas completed surveys. Youth PA was estimated from six items assessing overall physical activity. Bivariate analyses between environment factors and PA determined variable selection for adjusted hierarchical regression models. There were significant correlations in each environmental setting for adolescents (r's: 0.16-0.28), but for parents of children, only for the home and neighborhood settings (r's: 0.14-0.39). For adolescents, pieces of equipment at home, family recreation membership, equipment at school, and neighborhood aesthetics explained 15.8% of variance in PA. For younger children (based on parent report), pieces of equipment at home, neighborhood traffic safety, walking/cycling facilities, and street connectivity explained 21.4% of the variance in PA. Modifiable factors like increasing access to equipment at home and school, and improving neighborhood aesthetics may impact youth PA. To optimize explanation of youth PA, factors from multiple environments need to be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
