The Relationship of Perceived Neighborhood Social Climate to Walking in Hispanic Older Adults

Abstract: Objective This study examines possible bidirectional relationships between neighborhood climate (i.e., perceived neighborhood social environment) and walking behavior across a 12-month period in older Hispanics. Method A population-based sample of 217 community-dwelling older Hispanics in Miami, Florida, completed measures of perceived neighborhood climate and neighborhood walking, at two assessment time points (12 months apart). Results Structural equation modeling analyses revealed that neighborhood clim… Show more

“…First, as noted above, nearly all prior studies of neighborhood condition and physical activity, especially among older adults, have been cross-sectional [61]. The few longitudinal exceptions [62][63][64] have not examined neighborhood disorder as an influence. Second, this study used a novel low-cost CANVAS/Google Street View measure of neighborhood disorder that can in principle be deployed in other cities, lowering the costs of future replication studies [28,30].…”

“…One element potentially contributing to this paradoxical pattern is neighborhood ethnic composition. Neighborhoods can be particularly important for older Hispanic Americans, because of their limited mobility . A growing body of research on older Mexican Americans – an increasing proportion of older Americans – has found that neighborhood co‐ethnic density is protective for a variety of health outcomes, such as self‐rated health, depressive symptoms, problem drinking and mortality, despite these locales being of low socioeconomics and generally lacking supportive medical/health‐related resources .…”

“…by reducing criminal deviance through social control) . Neighborhood social support and social control are known to improve mental health among older adults, and subjective neighborhood perception has been linked to aspects of social support, such as mutually affirming neighbor interactions . Recent research further showed that ethnic enclave neighborhoods with increased levels of Latino immigrants are more likely to perceive their neighborhood as having greater concentration of collective efficacy …”
