Brief Summary

This is a pilot community-based research study to examine the effects of specific environmental and social factors on physical activity, fitness, and health of middle school Hispanic children living in an inner-city community.

Conditions

Obesity, Diabetes, Nutrition, Physical Health

Keywords

Obesity, diabetes, hispanic, physical activity, nutrition

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Assess the built environment for energy requirements of movement, nutrition options, suitability for outdoor physical activity, and for children's actual physical activity and energy expenditure within those environments.

  Assess the built environment for energy requirements of movement, nutrition options, suitability for outdoor physical activity, and for children's actual physical activity and energy expenditure within those environments. To address this specific aim, we attempt to answer these 2 questions through direct participation from the students and then indirectly through a geographic analysis of the area of interest: 1. How does the built environment influence children's physical activity, access to healthy food, and individual health and fitness? 2. Do these relationships vary spatially (e.g., across and within neighborhoods)?

  9/2010 to 3/5/13

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Assess the impact of children's social environment on movement and nutrition choices within the built environment.

  9/2013-3/5/2013

Other Outcomes (1)

• Conduct a quantitative assessment of children's fitness, obesity, and indicators of metabolic health.
