AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of association between social context (family and friends) and the characteristics of one´s residence with the physical activity levels of university students at Colima University, Mexico. The study included 356 students, 51.1% women and 48.9% men, with a mean age of 20.98 ± 2.24 years. A questionnaire (IPAQ, short version) was employed to evaluate physical activity patterns and to assess perceived social and family support. Home environmental characteristics were also determined by this questionnaire, and they comprised the influence of perceived neighbourhood safety, availability of transportation, proximity to sports facilities, and economic access to leisure physical activity settings. Odds ratios were calculated (95% CI) using a multinomial logistic regression model, using sex, age and education level as confounding variables. Residential context and perceived social support influences the physical activity patterns of college students in Colima.
