“…This result corresponds to that of previous studies, in that people with higher SES have a lower obesity rate [18]. SES showed a statistically significant relationship with walkability and urban leisure amenities, which also aligns with previous findings, maintaining the presence of spatial disparity in the provision of a healthier living environment [21][22][23]79,80]. The SES is negatively associated with walkability (coeff.= −0.947), meaning that, on average the people of higher SES live in less walkable neighborhoods.…”

“…This difference is magnified by their differing living environments [18,19]. First, low-income communities have relatively few public amenities-such as playgrounds, sidewalks, and recreational facilities-that potentially encourage physical activities, in comparison to places where tax money is abundant [20][21][22][23]. Second, low-income neighborhoods have lower accessibility to healthy food resources and higher accessibility to fast food, to which the residents routinely resort, resulting in poor dietary habits [24,25].…”

This study investigates the impact of neighborhood-built environments on obesity in interrelationship with socioeconomic status (SES)—controlling for dietary patterns and physical activities of residents—using structural equation modeling (SEM). A total of 577 samples who are between 19 and 64 years old and reside in Seoul are extracted from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES), 2015. Neighborhood environments are represented as the two latent constructs—walkability and leisure amenities—composited with indicators such as density of intersections, density of mixed-use area, and the area of open spaces and are aggregated by jurisdictional unit in Seoul. We found that greater walkability in a neighborhood explained a lower body mass index (BMI) among residents, whereas more urban leisure amenities in a neighborhood explained a higher BMI. The finding suggests that a walking-friendly environment is more effective than active recreational amenities in inducing people to engage in daily physical activities to the level that reduces obesity rate. SES exerted a negative impact on BMI of a greater magnitude than the impact of either of the environmental living conditions, reinforcing the importance of general wealth and education level in leading to a healthy lifestyle. Our research contributes to growing evidence of a relationship between obesity and the built environment in the context of Asian countries where the prevalence of obesity is becoming a serious issue and requires immediate attention.

“…Age of participants was reported as mean (7.7 years; n = 58 studies) or ranged between 0 and 14 years (n = 46 studies). In four studies school grade was reported (1st grade, n = 1; 5th grade, n = 2, prekindergarten to 6th grade, n = 1) [47,59,102,113,132]. The quality rating scores are presented in Supplementary Table 3 [39,51,57,62,70,71,74,83,99,100,103,107,108,114,130], of which one observation used both proxy-and selfreported data [102].…”

“…Out of 65 potential correlates examined at the parental level, 32 correlates showed positive association while 12 correlates showed negative association with outdoor play. Briefly, parent being part of the dominant racial/ ethnic group [50,118], having the dominant nationality [130], parents holding positive attitude towards outdoors/outdoor activities [69,112,132], being informed about playing with child [130], ascribing importance to child's outdoor play [32], parental engagement in different types of physical activities [114,116,118,124,130] and modelling [61,110], parental habit strength [111], and parental support [61,67,92,102,110,111,122,129] were positively associated with outdoor play. On the other hand, having immigrated [74] or higher educated parents [32,33,37,38,100,118,132], having higher educated [44,59,92,96,124,127] or working mother [62,82,118], number of cars at home [132], having a mother with depression…”

“…Within microsystem dimensions, out of 33 correlates examined, 11 positive and three negative correlates were identified. Positive correlates of child's outdoor play within the proximal social environment included sibling modelling [111], peer support and modelling [110], number of regular playmates [118], dog/pet ownership [132,135], living with grandmother among non-White Hispanic children in the US [132], and time spent with mother/father [96]. Negative correlates included number of siblings [61,66,126] and using only Spanish at home for non-White Hispanic children in the US [132].…”

Background Due to the myriad of benefits of children’s outdoor play and time, there is increasing concern over its decline. This systematic review synthesized evidence on the correlates of outdoor play and outdoor time among children aged 3-12 years. Methods A total of 12 electronic databases in five different languages (Chinese, English, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese) were searched between October 28, 2019 and July 27, 2020. Covidence software was used for screening and Microsoft Excel with a predesigned coding form was used for data extraction. Evidence was synthesized and correlates were categorized using the socioecological model framework. Results Based on 107 studies representing 188,498 participants and 422 childcare centers from 29 countries, 85 studies examined potential correlates of outdoor play while 23 studies examined that of outdoor time (one examined both). The duration of outdoor play and outdoor time ranged between 60 and 165 min/d and 42-240 min/d, respectively. Out of 287 (outdoor play) and 61 (outdoor time) potential correlates examined, 111 correlates for outdoor play and 33 correlates for outdoor time were identified as significant correlates. Thirty-three variables were identified as key/common correlates of outdoor play/time, including eight correlates at the individual level (e.g., sex/gender, race/ethnicity, physical activity), 10 correlates at the parental level (e.g., parental attitude/support/behavior, parenting practice), nine at the microsystem level (e.g., proximal home/social environment such as residence type, peer influence), three at the macrosystem/community level (e.g., availability of space children can play), and three at the physical ecology/pressure for macrosystem change level (e.g., seasonality, rurality). No key correlates were found at the institutional level. Conclusions Individual, parental, and proximal physical (home) and social environments appear to play a role in children’s outdoor play and time. Ecological factors (i.e., seasonality, rurality) also appear to be related to outdoor play/time. Evidence was either inconsistent or lacking at institutional and macrosystem/community levels. Standardizing terminology and measures of outdoor play/time is warranted. Future work should investigate the interactions and processes of multiple variables across different levels of socioecological modelling to better understand the mechanisms through which outdoor play/time opportunities can be optimized for children while paying special attention to varying conditions in which children are born, live, and play.
