Overview

Longitudinal study reveals impacts of built environment on physical activity and obesity across demographics in São Paulo.

Key Points

  • Obesity rates are increasing, particularly among specific sociodemographic groups, linked to physical activity levels.
  • Changes in public open spaces have been positively associated with increased leisure-time physical activity among residents.
  • Assessment through household and telephone interviews tracked physical activity behaviors and health status across three waves.
  • Data reflects ongoing disparities in infrastructure access, suggesting spatial inequalities in health outcomes across the city.
