abstract="OBJECTIVES: To investigate both the Walk Score(TM) and a self-reported measure of neighborhood walkability (&quot;Perceived Neighborhood Walkability&quot;) as estimators of transport and recreational walking among Americans. <br><br>METHODS: The study is based upon a survey of a nationally-representative sample of 1224 American adults. The survey gauged walking for both transport and recreation and included a self-reported measure of neighborhood walkability and each respondent's Walk Score(TM). Binary logistic and linear regression analyses were performed on the data. <br><br>RESULTS: The Walk Score(TM) is associated with walking for transport, but not recreational walking nor total walking. Perceived Neighborhood Walkability is associated with transport, recreational and total walking. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Perceived Neighborhood Walkability captures the experiential nature of walking more than the Walk Score(TM).<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
