Abstract
In this article, associations between individual, social, and environmental
factors and physical activity among 3,669 women (18-45 years) living
in socioeconomically
disadvantaged urban and rural areas were compared.
In 2007-2008, participants reported levels of leisure-time physical activity
(LTPA) and transport-related physical activity (TRPA) as well as five individual,
four social, and three environmental factors. Physical activity selfefficacy
demonstrated stronger associations with LTPA among urban relative
to rural women; child care was associated with LTPA and intentions
with TRPA among urban women only, and enjoyment was associated with
TRPA among rural women only. Correlates of physical activity among urban
and rural women were generally similar, although some tailoring of physical
activity promotion strategies may be warranted.
