After running logistic regression analyses it was found that availability of places to exercise was related to increased physical activity only for urban, higher income and suburban, lower income participants urban, high: 5 of 7 places (streets, parks, indoor gym, access to treadmill or access to other exercise equipment) had sig. OR’s indicating access to those significantly increased likelihood to meet recommendations suburban, low: 4 of 7 places (walking/jogging trails, parks, access to treadmill and access to other exercise equipment) had sig. OR’s.

For lower income, suburban residents those with access to parks were 14.5 times more likely to meet PA recommendations.

Access to indoor gyms was most strongly related to PA for suburban residents regardless of income-for both income groups access to gyms increased likelihood to meet recommendations by over 5 times. (5.38, 5.01)

Access to walking jogging trails increased likelihood to meet recs. for suburban lower, income residents by almost 5 times as well. (OR 4.77)
