P08-14 The association of childhood commuting modes and physical activity in adult age

Abstract Background Physically active lifestyle prevents and contributes to managing non-communicable diseases. Childhood physical activities have shown to associate with physically active lifestyle in adulthood. More research on which childhood physical activity modes associate with physical activity in later life is still needed. Within the present study, we examined how physically active commuting to school in childhood contributed to overall physical activity in adulhood. Methods The participants (N = 3596) were from the population-based, longitudinal Cardiovascular Risks in Young Finns Study. Questionnaires were used in assessing subjects' childhood (1980) and adulthood (2001-2018) physical activity. ActiGraph accelerometers were also applied in the adulthood measurements (2018-2020). The results were analyzed using logistic and linear regression models. Participants' age, sex, parents' educational background, parents' income level, childhood living area, participants' educational background, adulthood income level, and adulthood living area were adjusted for in the models. Results Based on the preliminary examinations, childhood commuting was not associated with self-reported commuting to work (2001-2018) or accelerometer-measured overall physical activity (2018-2020) in adulthood (p>.05). Active commuting in childhood associated with increased self-reported leisure-time physical activity in the year 2001 (b=.38, p>.001), 2007 (b=.35, p>.001), and 2018 (b=.28, p=.012), but the association between childhood commuting and self-reported physical activity in the years 2001 and 2018 attenuated after adjusting for all covariates (p>.05). Conclusions Physically active commuting in childhood (1980) was associated with higher levels of self-reported leisure-time physical activity in adulthood (2001-2018). The associations attenuated after adjusting for covariates excluding the one between active commuting and leisure-time physical activity assessed in 2007. Physically active commuting can be regarded as recommendable with respect to the development of physically active lifestyle, if supportive evidence for the causality between childhood commuting and leisure-time physical activity in adult age can be found. Future research should also focus on assessing whether active commuting in childhood contributes to adulthood activities parallel to active commuting in childhood.

Background Studies show that exercise improves self-esteem and improved self-esteem strengthens inclusion and prevents marginalization. Young people who have only completed primary school may incur additional costs of up to 370 000 euros for public administration over their lifetime, compared to those who educate themselves. In Pieksämäki, a physical activity intervention was developed for physically inactive young people not in education, employment or training (NEET) and it aims to improve their activity and thereby their social inclusion. The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcomes and the cost of the intervention.

Methods
The physical activity intervention includes a personal physical exercise plan, individual instruction and free access to the swimming hall and gym during the participation. Each participant gets as much guidance as they need. We present results only for three cases, because the target group was very challenging. The follow-up period was 12 months.

Results
To evaluate the outcomes we used three subjective measures, 3X10D Õ (survey-self-evaluation tool), the Abilitator Õ , and 15D (HRQoL, the health-related quality of life instrument). The 3X10D Õ showed that life as a whole and self-esteem improved in two cases. In all three cases managing in daily activities improved. However, the Abilitator Õ showed slight improvement in wellbeing and clear improvement in physical functioning in all three cases. We obtained 15D results only from two cases. In one case HRQoL decreased slightly and in the other one it increased significantly. The employment status of these three cases changed. In the beginning there was an unemployed person, a person having only 9-year basic education and a drop-out from vocational education. After the intervention the unemployed person was working, and the other two were studying. Depending on the number of visits to the physical exercise instructor and other physical activities the costs of the intervention varied between 1042 and 1215 euros.

The results were analyzed using logistic and linear regression models. Participants' age, sex, parents' educational background, parents' income level, childhood living area, participants' educational background, adulthood income level, and adulthood living area were adjusted for in the models.

Conclusions
Physically active commuting in childhood (1980) was associated with higher levels of self-reported leisure-time physical activity in adulthood (2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018). The associations attenuated after adjusting for covariates excluding the one between active commuting and leisure-time physical activity assessed in 2007. Physically active commuting can be regarded as recommendable with respect to the development of physically active lifestyle, if supportive evidence for the Background A substantial body of research have shown that parents' behaviours are closely linked to children's behaviours. Although some studies have reported positive association between parents' and youths' physical activity, especially in same sex (father-son; mother-daughter), further studies are required to strengthen these preliminary findings. The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between fathers' and mothers' physical activity and mode of commuting and sons' and daughters' physical activity and mode of commuting. Methods This cross-sectional study included 1,372 participants, 686 parents (43.4AE6.5 years; mothers: 52.8%) and 439 children (age: 9.7AE1.7 years; girls: 65.1%) and 246 adolescents (14AE1.7 years; girls: 68.3%). Each participant completed a self-report questionnaire on physical activity (Parents: IPAQ; Children: YAP) and commuting patterns (PACO: Pedalea y Anda al Cole). The parents completed and signed an informed consent on the characteristics of the study, which was approved by the corresponding ethics committee. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, and frequency distribution) and chi-square test (p > 0.05) were used to examine this association. Odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval 95% (CI) were used to determine the degree of association.

Results
Most of the sample did not meet Physical activity recommendations, particularly adolescents and parents (children: 46.4%; adolescents: 6.5%; and parents: 7.2%). Less than one third of the sample commute to school/work actively (children: 31.6%; adolescents: 31.0%; and parents: 31.6%). Only the fathers' physical activity was positively associated with their female childreń s physical activity (OR = 2,477, 95%CI: 1,144-5,362).

Background
The neighborhood environment may enhance or restrict older people's opportunities to participate in leisure activities, and thus impact quality of life. Walkability depicts the environment's suitability for walking to different destinations. Little is known concerning about the relation between environment walkability and participation in leisure activities. Our purpose was to study whether neighborhood's objective and perceived walkability were related to participation in various leisure activities outside the home. Methods Cross-sectional data of LISPE consisted of 848 communitydwelling people aged 75-90 living in the municipalities of Jyväskylä and Muurame, Finland. Participants' home addresses were geocoded, and walkability index (mixed land-use, street connectivity, and population density) was calculated using geographic information system and categorized into tertiles. From a checklist, participants chose all infrastructure-based facilitators present in their neighborhood, which draw them to outdoor mobility (e.g., good lighting, services close); the sum of these was used as an indicator of perceived walkability. Participation in leisure activities outside the home was selfreported based on frequency and classified as participation (yes/no) in group activities (!1x/week), physical activity (!1x/ week), and non-group cultural and other activities (!1x/ month). For each leisure activity type, logistic regression models were conducted for walkability index and perceived walkability separately. Analyses were adjusted age, sex, years of education, weekly car use, walking difficulties, and number of chronic conditions.

Results
Logistic regression showed that the older people who lived in areas with high walkability index were more likely to participate in cultural and other activities activity at least once a month (OR = 1.64, 95% Cl = 1.14-2.36) and less likely to participate in physical activity at least once a week (OR = 0.61, 95% Cl = 0.39-0.94, fully adjusted model) than older people living in areas with low walkability index. Older people reporting higher perceived walkability participated more often in physical activity than those who reported lower walkability (OR = 1.14, 95% Cl = 1.05-1.23).

Conclusions
Living in the area of high walkability enhanced participation in cultural activities and decreased participation in physical activity. However, higher perceived walkability may motivate older people to be physically active. Environment which offers
