Socioeconomic inequalities in sport participation and recreational walking: the role of social and physical environment Background: It is the aim of this study to explore the contribution of characteristics of the social and physical environment to socioeconomic inequalities in sport participation and recreational walking among adults in the Netherlands. Methods: Focusgroup interviews among individuals from lower and higher socioeconomic groups provided direction to the selection of the potentially most relevant environmental characteristics. Perceptions of such characteristics were subsequently operationalised in a postal survey, which was sent to 10.271 persons aged between 25 and 74 years (respons 64.4%). Independent observations were made of the physical environment in seven of the most deprived and seven of the most affluent neighbourhoods in Eindhoven. Results: Analyses from the survey confirmed the lower prevalence of leisure time physical activity among individuals from lower socioeconomic groups. These individuals more often perceived their living environment as less attractive and unsafe, and reported lower social cohesion and a smaller social network in their neighbourhood. These factors contributed for a small part to socioeconomic inequalities in sport participation and recreational walking. Conclusions: An attractive and safe living environment, social cohesion and a good social network in the neighbourhood seem to contribute for a small amount to socioeconomic inequalities in leisure time physical activity. Policies aimed at the improvement of these environmental characteristics can perhaps contribute to the promotion of leisure time physical activity in lower socioeconomic groups. Keywords: physical activity, life style, socioeconomic inequalities, living environment
